Harwood the Composer. — One of the most 

 popular pieces of our national sacred music, set to 

 what is commonly received as an imitation by 

 Pope of the Emperor Adrian's address to his 

 soul, — 



" Vital spark of heavenly flame ! " 



appears in the second volume of Sacred Min- 

 strelsy (Parker, West Strand, 1835), where the 

 original errors of the plate-engraver, or the over- 

 sights of the musician, are corrected, and a modern 

 accompaniment is added. The editor of that 

 work, in a preliminary remark, says, that he could 

 gain no intelligence respecting the composer be- 

 yond that of his surname, Harwood. A reverend 

 amateur in Manchester has supplied the desidera- 

 tum. He states that the author of that pleasing 

 vocal trio was born at Hoddleson (or Hoddleston), 

 near Blackburn, and baptized by the name Teddy 

 (a contraction of Edward, formerly not uncom- 

 mon in that part of Lancashire), and was there 

 settled as a teacher of music. His sister's name 

 appears in Burney's History of the Commemoration 

 of Handel, among the principal singers at that 

 famous celebrity. N. 



A Suggestion. — From "N. & Q.," Vol. vi., 

 p. 131., we learn, that the millennium is to begin in 

 1862. Now as, beyond question, "N. & Q." is 

 destined to live through that blessed period, and 



for ever after, let its convenience, and consequent 

 value, be doubled, by closing, — first, the tenth, 

 and every succeeding tenth ; secondly, the hun- 

 dredth, and evei'y succeeding hundredth ; thirdly, 

 the thousandth, and every succeeding thousandth 

 volume with a General Index to each preced- 

 ing ten-hundred-thousand volumes : and so on^, 

 in scecula scecidorum ! 



If, at its commencement, the Annual Register 

 had adopted this plan, its purchasers would,, 

 " somewhere about these days," be entitled to its 

 first centennial index ; and can any reasonable 

 being doubt that it would double both the con- 

 venience and the value of the work ? Eric. 



Hochelaga. 



Hour-glass. — • Allusion to the hour-glass used 

 to regulate the time of speaking. Towards the 

 conclusion of the Lord Keeper's speech on the 

 opening of parliament, March 17, 1627, occurs the 

 sentence, — 



" We may daudle and play with the hour-glass that is 

 in our power, but the hour will not stay for us ; and an.' 

 opportunity once lost cannot be regained." — See Pari. 

 Hist, ii. 222.

Epitaph on William Lilly. — At a country sale, 

 a few months back, I picked up one of Lilly's 

 Astrological Almanacks for 1651. On the blank 

 side of the title-page, in a handwriting almost 

 coeval with the date of publishing, is the following :- 



" EPITAPHIUM PSEUDO-PROPHETiE GUIL. LILLY. 



Here lyeth hee, that lyed in ev'ry page ; 

 The scorne of men, dishonour of his age ; 

 Parliament's pandar, and y" nation's cheat ;. 

 Y"^ kingdom's iugler, impudency's seat ; 

 The armyes spanyill, and y" gen'rall's witch ;• 



Y** divell's godson, grandchild of a b ; 



Clergy's blasphemer, enemy to y<' king ; 

 Under y>' dunghill lyes y»' filthy y'°8 ; 

 Lilly y wise-men's hate, fooles adoration ; 



LiUy yo j*^f„™v * } of r English nation. 



Philanglus.'^ 



\ infamy j ' 



Is anything known of Philanglus ? Has the 

 above epitaph ever been published before ?

Genevese Wine Merchants. — I find the best 

 wholesale and retail wine merchants at Geneva 

 are the principal booksellers. Many of the 

 English residents are, I believe, ignorant of the 

 fact, which is certainly somewhat surprising. 

 Literary gentlemen and others staying at Ge- 

 neva, who are not ashamed of confessing to a 

 weakness for good wine as well as books, may 

 perhaps thank me for this Note. E. W. J. 



Crawley. 



Russian Civilisation. — Scotchmen and Ger- 

 mans, the former chiefly in the early part of the 

 last century, and the latter since that period.
