Forms to be used yearly on the Second Day of September, 

 for the dreadful Fire of London. 8vo. 1721. 



This is a reprint of the Form put forth after the Fire in 

 1666, and for some years affixed to the Book of Common 

 Prayer. It is given with "An Account of the Fire of 

 London," &c., and the reason assigned for the reprint is 

 this, that " for many years it had been left out of the 

 Book of Common Prayer." 



A Form of Prayers used by his late Majesty King Wil- 

 liam. 24mo. 1704. 

 Another edition, printed at Dublin. 1704. 



This little volume was published by the Bishop of 

 Norwich, with a preface. The bishop states that the 

 prayers were " faithfully printed without the least vari- 

 ation from the original papers which his Majesty con- 

 stantly used." 



I give the following as a curious volume : 



" The Devotions and Formes of Prayer daily used in 

 the King of Sweden's Army. 4to. London, 1632." 



One prayer is given as having been uttered 

 extempore by the king during a storm, when he 

 was anxious to embark his troops. It is stated 

 that the wind changed as soon as the king rose 

 from his knees, and that he succeeded in his 

 enterprise. Thomas Lathburt. 



WORDS AND PHRASES COMMON AT POLPERKO, BUT 

 NOT USUAL ELSEWHERE. 



{Continued from p. 420.) 



Table. We have the phrase, " both legs were 

 put under the table," to signify that on a visit to 

 a neighbour's house the visitor was well received, 

 and entertained sumptuously. 



Tack, a blow, not very smart, with the flat of 

 the hand. 



Tah (applied to little children), Caco, to dis- 

 charge the bowels. 



Taildor, a tailor. 



Tail-on-end. A proverbial phrase to describe 

 a person standing full of expectation, and ready 

 to act or snatch an advantage. 



Teary, soft, like dough. 



Teel, a common pronunciation of the word till^ 

 as signifying cultivation of the ground. But, 

 originally, it appears to have meant simply to 

 bury in the earth ; and in this sense it is com- 

 monly employed in the west of Cornwall, where 

 even the nearest friends of the deceased speak of 

 teeling a corpse instead of burying it. With us it 

 is usual for a person, who has gone through mud 

 or water, to say that it " teeled him up" so high as 

 he was immersed or covered. A corresponding 

 word is stogged ; but the latter conveys the mean- 

 ing, the being held fast, in addition to being teeled 

 up. The original meaning of stoggan appears to 

 be clay. 



Tend. In some places and books this word is 

 printed and pronounced tien; but with us it is 

 distinctly tend. It means to set fire to, or to light 

 up, and is the root of the word tinder, here pro- 

 nounced tender, which means something that will 

 take fire easily. 



Thick, intimate ; closely united one to the other. 



Thikke. This word is the same with thilke, as 

 it appears in old writers ; but the meaning, or at 

 least the emphasis, appears to have been misap- 

 prehended by most readers. Ilk is used in Scot- 

 land to signify " that same :" as Mr. , of that 



ilk, or who lives in a place of the same name with 

 his own. And it is not strange that we should 

 proceed from Cornwall to Scotland for the expla- 

 nation of a word, for we have seen in several 

 cases the advantage of this. The word thikke is 

 perpetually in the mouths of people of the old 

 school here, and is especially used by children, 

 and is composed of three words — " the ilk he" — 

 that same he, or that same one person or thing ; 

 which therefore is far more emphatic than merely 

 to say, " that person or thing." 



Tho, Dho, then, at that time. It is so used by 

 the poet Gower : Tooke's Diversions of Purley, 

 vol. i. p. 444. 



Thorl, very thin, emaciated. It is applied to a 

 man or animal, and means that they are so thin
