NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2"-i S. No 82., July 25. '67. 



my inquiry that appeared under the signature of 

 H. Baschet ; but what I want particularly to 

 know is, whether, about the year 1620, there was 

 at Dieppe an artist of any eminence of the name 

 of Pierre Simon ? I should be glad of any clue 

 by which to direct my researches. Meletes. 



Granes Edition ofChatterton (2°^ S. iv, 24.) — 

 Mr. Grant was merely the publisher of the edition 

 of Chatterton's Poetical Works printed at Cam- 

 bridge in 1842. The author of the life prefixed 

 was an Undergraduate of this University, who, I 

 believe, is still living. Thompson Coopeb.

Old Sermon Books (2°'» S. iii. 466.)— In reply to 

 Abhba's inquiry respecting the Sermon Books 

 used by the clergy 150 or 200 years ago, I beg to 

 state that I am in possession of one that belonged 

 to a member of my family, about that time, simi- 

 lar to the one he describes. It is 7 in. long, 5 in. 

 broad, and 1 J in. thick ; containing about 200 

 leaves, bound in dark brown or black, with nar- 

 row gilt lines on the cover and back. Each jiage 

 contains 39 or 40 lines, written in a very small 

 and illegible hand. It contains (as far as it goes) 

 seven or eight sermons, varying in length, as 19, 

 20, 17, and 18 pages. The latter sermon is di- 

 vided into two parts (18 and 16 pages) : the first 

 of which, the writer finishes by saying, " I shall 

 reserve the 2'^ part for your entertainement the next 

 Lord's day." The word " entertainement " does 

 not seem used as meaning amusement ; but as the 

 French use their word entretenir, entretien. In 

 the inside of the cover is written in a modern 

 hand the following notice : — 



" This book of Sermons belonged to Francis Rayney, 

 Clerk, M.A., of Tyers-hill, near Durfield, Yorkshire, 

 Curate of Woolley, near Wakefield, 6"^ of Jan^y, 1682. 

 Bapd 21" August, 1651 ; died, unmarried, Nov^^- 28t^ 1697, 

 and buried there." 



The first five pages of the book contain prayers 

 for before and after the sermon, and the long 

 prayer for the Universities and Clergy, &c. A. 



George Ridler's Oven (2"'^ S. iii. 509.; iv. 19.) 

 — A copy of this song, with an explanation, suf- 

 ficiently far-fetched, of its apparent nonsense- 

 verses, is given in The Critic for Oct. 15 and 

 Nov. 1, 1856, pp. 501. 524. It is there described 

 as being a Royalist song, written probably at the 

 time of the first foundation of the Gloucestershire 

 Society, viz. in the year 1657. The account is 

 taken, in an abridged form, from the report of that 

 society for 1855. W. D. Mackay. 



"Tallo-Ho!" (2"'^ S. iii. 415. 517.) — Some 

 derive this expression from Tyahillaut, or Thia 

 Hillaud, but Query meaning thereof. Urquhart 

 (/Spam anc? Morocco, 1848) says: '■'■ Talla-ha, the 

 rallying cry of the Arabs ; Tally-ho was doubtless 



brought by the Crusaders." " Hoix " is said to 

 be from Haut-icy or Haut-iccy ; " Hark Forward" 

 from Forbuer or Fort-buer, " a qui-forbuer ; " 

 " Halloo " from Hah ! Le Loup, or Au Loup, 

 wolves being found formerly in England as well as 

 in France. 



" This word served as a shout to set the dogs on a pur- 

 suit, which expression continues in use to this day, though 

 no wolves be found in England at present." — Gent. Mag., 

 vol. lix. p. 784.

 Jacques du Fouilleux, Paris, 1573.

" My Dog and 7" (2°i S. iii. 509.) — 



"And when I die as needs must lap, 

 Then bury me under the good ale-tap." 



The same idea in — 



" Wenn ich einst sterbe, so lasst mich begraben 

 Nicht unter den Kirchhof, nicht Uber den Schragen ; 

 Hinunter in den Keller, wohl unter das Fass, 

 Lieg' gar nit gem trocken, lieg' allweil gem nass."

Judge Bingham (2""^ S. iv. 56.) — C. W. B. will 

 find in Foss's Judges of England, vol. iv. p. 419., 

 that Sir Richard Bingham was a Judge of the 

 King's Bench from 1447, 25 Henry VI., to 1471, 

 11 Edward IV., and that he died in 1476, and 

 was buried at Middleton in Warwickshire, where 

 there is a monument representing him in his 

 official robes. He belonged to a family established 

 at Carcolston, in the hundred of Bingham in Not- 

 tinghamshire ; and by his wife Margaret, the 

 daughter of Sir Baldwin Frevill of Middleton, 

 and widow of Sir Hugh Willoughby of Wollaton, 

 Notts, he had a son named Richard, who married 

 Margaret, the daughter of Sir Thomas Rempston, 

 who was uncle by the half-blood to Sir William 

 Plumpton. R. C. H. 



Derivation of the Word " Cotton " (2°'* S. iii. 

 306. 416.) — Cotoneum, a quince, may be merely 

 another orthography of Cydonium, a quince 

 (^Cydonia mala, apples from Kv^aivia, a town of 

 Crete, famous for abounding with this fruit), 

 whence both Quiddany and Quince may be easily 

 traced ; the former perhaps thus : Kvdwvia, kvSwviov, 

 Cydonium, Cydonio, Cydoni, Cydani, Quidani, 

 Quidany, Quiddany. R. S. Chaknock.

Anne a Male Name (2"^ S. iii. 508.) — The 

 names of the late Lord Ranclifle were George 

 Augustus Henry Aniie Parkyns. 



I beg to mention to J. G. N. that Anne is the 

 surname of an old family in the West Riding of 

 Yorkshire, so that there may possibly be instances 

 of males bearing that christian name without its 

 being necessarily derived from a female. C. J.
