NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 256. 



Hampshire Words (Vol. x., p. 120.)- — Some 

 of the words enumerated by Mr. Middleton have 

 appeared in the works hereafter cited. 



Bavin occurs in Moor's Suffolk Wordsy and 

 Forby's Vocabulary of East Anglia. Mr. Halli- 

 well in his Dictionary of Archaic and Proviv£ial 

 Words has Baven, which he makes to differ from 

 a faggot in its being bound with only one withe, 

 whereas a faggot is bound with two. He refers 

 to Dr. Dee's Diary, p. 38., and Euphue's Golden 

 Legacie, ap. Collier, p. 11. 



Frit is in Moor and Halliwell (var. dial.}. 



Nunch is in Moor and Halliwell {var. dial.). 



Pooh is in Halliwell (Somerset.). 



Pure is in Moor and Halliwell (var. dial.). 



Safe is in Halliwell (var. dial.). 



Will Mr. Middleton excuse my suggesting 

 that he should use the alphabetical order in those 

 farther communications which I am glad to see 

 he promises to make to your interesting Miscel- 

 lany. Thompson Cooper. 



Cambxidge. 



Oblige pronounced ohleege (Vol. x., p. 142.). — 

 There can be little doubt as to what was the 

 fashionable pronunciation of the above word sixty 

 years ago, nor is it by any means uncommon to 

 hear " gentlemen of the old school" saying obleege 

 and oUeeged. That such was the habit of the 

 Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV.) we have 

 a curious proof in the well-known anecdote of 

 John Kemble, who took the liberty of correcting 

 his royal highness's pronunciation in this parti- 

 cular. N. L. T. 



Fountains (Vol. ix., p. 516.). — Schuett's Re- 

 cueil d Architecture dessine et mesure en Italie dans 

 les annees 1791, 1792, et 1793, contains some 

 views of fountains in Italy, folio, Paris, 1821. 



The fountains of Versailles, &c. have been en- 

 graved and described by Thomassin, Audran and 

 Le Potre, Perelle, Silvestre, Monicart and Romain 

 le Testu, Bowles, Heath, and in the Cabinet du 

 Roi, Oulerie de Versailles, Maifons Royales, &c. 



Moisy et Normand, les Fontaines de Paris, 

 anciennes et nouvelles, et Descriptions Historiques 

 et Notes par Duval, folio, 66 fine coloured plates. 

 Paris, 1813. 



Fontaines de Paris de Vordre de Napoleon le 

 Grand et Anciennes, royal 4to., 59 plates. Paris, 

 1810. 



Recueil de divers Desseins de Fontaines et des 

 Frises Maritimes, ivventez et dessignez par Mon- 

 sieur Le Brun, premier Peintre du Roi, Sec. ; folio, 

 Paris, no date (about 1700). This work contains 

 only designs for fountains. 



The following work might also be consulted :

 molli, Professeur de Sculpture dans VUniversile

 warded to Aquarius. ] 



NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



The Wilts Archaological Society has just had a grand 

 gathering at Salisbury, under the Presidentship of Mr. 

 Sidney Herbert; whose reception of the members at 

 Wilton House, followed as it was by the hospitality of the 

 Bishop at the Palace, must have exercised a beneficial 

 influence on the Society. We call attention to this new 

 offspring of the Societj' of Antiqu;iries for one special 

 reason ; it publishes its Journal, which contains many 

 excellent papers on subjects of local interest, at so low a 

 price, as to place it within the reach of all classes of 

 readers. This is a point, too, often lost sight of by those 

 who seek to popularise such societies, and by their means 

 to spread abroad a taste for historical knowledge, and a 

 desire to preserve our national monuments. 



Books Received. — Gibbon's Roman Empire, with 

 Notes by Dean Milman and M. Guizot, edited by Dr. 

 Smith. The fifth volume of this handsome edition, which 

 forms a portion of Murray's British Classics. — The 

 Poetical Works of Sir Thomas Wyatt, edited by Robert 

 Bell. The new volume of Parker's Annotated Edition of 

 the British Poets. In his introductory biography, the 

 editor has availed himself of the many new facts in 

 Wyatt's history, which have lately been brought forward- 



— An Essay on Church Furniture and Decoration, by the 

 Rev. E. L. Cutts, is a reprint of a Supplement to the 

 Clerical Journal. — The Censut of Great Britain in 1851 ; 

 comprising an Account of the jVunbhers and Distribution of 

 the People, their Ages, Conjugal Condition, Occupations^ 

 and Birth-place, Sfc, emboilies in a small compass the 

 principal results of the recent enumeration of the people 

 of this country; and though published at a low price, 

 may be depended upon, having been produced under the 

 authority of the Registrar-General. — Azotes on the Nimbus, 

 by Gilbert J. French. Although the words "Printed for 

 Presentation " ought perhaps to prevent our taking notice 

 of this little pamphlet, it is too creditable to Mr. French's 

 learning and ingenuity to be passed over without notice. 



— The Works of rhilo-Judieus, the Contemporary of 

 Josephus, translated from the Greek by C. D. Yonge, Vol. I. 

 This new contribution to Bohn's Ecclesiastical Library is 

 as startling as it is creditable ; but as the Translation of 

 Plato, we believe, proved a successful commercial specu- 

 lation, we hope, for Mr. Bohn's sake, the translation of 

 this distinguished Platonist may prove the same. — The 

 Anabasis or E.vpedition of Cyrus and tlie Memorabilia of 

 Socrates, literally translated from the Greek of Xenophon, 

 by the Rev. J. S. Watson, with a Geographical Commen- 

 tary, by W. F. Ainsworth, Esq., is the new volume of the 

 same publisher's Classical lAlirary ; while he has, in his 

 Aiitiquarinn Library, reprinted Charles Lamb's Speci- 

 tnens of English Dramatic Poets who lived about the Time 

 of Sliakspeare ; and has made the present edition of this 

 delightful volume yet more delightful, by adding to it 

 tiie E.vtracts from the Garrick Plays which Lamb con- 

 tributed to Hone's Table Book. It forms a poetical com- 

 mon-place book of the highest beauty.
