NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Sept. 29. 1855. 



they have been carefully examined, and their 

 foundation in truth accurately ascertained. 



William Ceamp. 



[ We entirelj' agree with our correspondent, that " in the 

 present state of the Junius question no fact should be put 

 forth or reproduced as evidence of authorship, unless its 

 foundation in truth be first carefully examined and accu- 

 rately ascertained ; " but in this very communication he 

 violates in several instances the law he has himself laid 

 down. 



We may, with reference to this subject, also remind 

 Mr. Cramp that a request which has twice been ad- 

 dressed to him in this Journal (Vol. iii., p. 262. ; Vol. viii., 

 p. 8.), begf^ing him to authenticate a statement put forth 

 in his " Junius and his Works," and name some of the 

 " many " persons in whose libraries vellum-bound copies 

 of Junius have been found, has not vet been complied 

 with. — Ed. "N. &Q."]

 SECOND LIST. 



(^Continued from p. 97.) 



[As we have reason to believe that our first list has 

 proved very useful, we gladly insert such farther names 

 as have reached us ; and shall be pleased to receive farther 

 additions. 



We take this opportunity of making some corrections. 

 Mr. Richardson is, we believe, no longer in business in New- 

 castle ; and the name of Mr. Weston, 197. Bradford Street, 

 Birmingham, should be omitted ; that gentleman, who is 

 not a bookseller, no longer resides in Birmingham.]

Turkish Literature. — 



" John Baptist Toderini, author of Letteratura Tur- 

 chesca, 3 vols. 8vo., resided for some years at Constanti- 

 nople, at the Venetian Ambassador's house, and had the 

 best opportunities to receive good information on the sub- 

 ject of which he treats. He sets out by removing from 

 the minds of his readers the ill-founded prejudice that 

 the Mussulman religion is an enemy to the Muses .... 

 He quotes the words of Mahomet himself in favour of 

 letters : ' It is permitted to Mussulmen to possess all 

 sciences ; ' * Look after science, were it to be found even in 

 China.' Finally (says this author) this book of mine will 

 show how much Tott, Savary, and so many other writers, 

 are in the dark about Turkish literature." — Sastres, II 

 Mercurio Italico, vol. i. 



Among the oriental manuscripts in this library, 

 there are a few in the Turkish language. 



In the enumeration of predictions relating to the 

 fall of the Turkish Empire (vols. x. and xi.), that 

 is not noticed which is thus referred to in Jans- 

 sonii Theatrum Urbium Europoe : Civitatum His- 

 panise, &c. : 



" Peninsulam Constantinopolis occupat, septem colles 

 complectentem. Hinc Scholarius Patriarcha Constanti- 

 nopolitanus in enarratione vaticinii de Turcici regni in- 

 teritu, TTiv eTTToXo^ov earn nominat."

Latin (?) Epitaphs. — As " N. & Q." is a re- 

 ceptacle for curious epitaphs, I forward the fol- 

 lowing ; which I copied from a gravestone in the 

 burial-ground of the Baptists, at Hill Cliff, 

 Cheshire : 



« M. S. 

 Samuelis Simson Cestriensis viri ob indolis et morum 

 facilitatem omnibus nee immerito cari civis spectatiB fidei 

 Mercatoris seduli et probi mariti olim dilecti admodum at 

 nunc heu desiderati ! Christiani denique non nisi sub- 

 sellii. Qui in Xto placide obdormivit die 7mo martii 

 A.D. 1719. JEt. SUDS 59 posuit moerens Uxor E. S. Ex 

 parte tantum superstes." 



On another gravestone, in the same burial- 

 ground : 



" Subter hoc Sax™ Tho. Wainwrighti Amicus ille 

 noster sternere se somnum factum est. Ille autem prie- 

 dicatoria fuisse in Congressus Baptistus per Warring" 

 (ccstera desunt).

Sir Edward Haivke. — 



"It is a curious fact that on the very day of this 

 glorious victory (over M. de Conflans, between Belleisle 

 and Cape Quiberon, Nov. 20, 1759). Hawke was hanged in 

 effigy in the streets of London. This singular instance of 

 popular violence may teach great men how to appreciate 

 the applause of the multitude." — Naval Chronicle, vol. vii. 

 p. 467.
