NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 171. 



Passage in Locksley Hall (Vol. vii., p. 25.). — If 

 Tennyson really meant his readers to gather from 

 the lines in question, that the curlew's call gleams 

 about the moorland, he used a very bold fi_^ure of 

 speech, yet one not uncommon in the vivid lan- 

 guage of Greece. For example : 



" Tiaihv 5e Xci^Tret arovoeffaa re vripvs SfiavKos," 

 And again, 



"*'EAaj«.;|/€ aprius (pavelcra (pd/jia." (So- 

 phocles. ) 



So also, 



"Boa irpiirei." (Pindar and iEschylus.) 



May it not, however, be just possible that Ten- 

 nyson did not mean anything ? A. A. D.

Notes on Books, &c. In consequence of the number of Replies 

 waiting for insertion, we have thought it right this toeek to omit our 

 usual Notes on Books, ^c. 



J. L. (Islington). The ordinart/ Spirits of Wine, sixty over 

 proof, is that referred to. The Ether is to be common rectified 

 Ether, and not the washed Ether. 



A Constant Reader is informed that Stereoscopic views may 

 be taken in any Camera. We must refer him for niutvers to his 

 other Queries to any of the numerous dealers in such objects. 



Inquirer (Edinburgh)'* Photographic difficulty shall be solved 

 next week. 



H. H. H. (Ashburton). It is only some specimens of Gutta 

 Percha that can be acted upon try Collodion, which then takes up a 

 very minute portion of a waxy substance which occurs in sotne 

 Gutta Percha, and some other eastern products. The advantages 

 derived from its use are very questionable. 



T. N. B.'s offer is accepted with thanks. 



T. K. G. The enigma 



" "Twas whisper'd in heaven " 

 was certainly written by Miss Catherine Fanshawe. Another 

 enigma from her pen, " On the Letter I," will be found in our 

 5th Vol., p. 427. 



W. H. L. The line 



" To err is human, to forgive divine," 

 is the 525/A of Pope's Essay on Criticism. 



H. G. D. Ws should be glad to see the Notes referred to. 



Varro. We have a letter on the subject of the Reprint of the 

 First Folio Shakspeare for this Correspondent. Shall it be for- 

 warded, or left at our Publisher's f 



Shakspeare. We have in type, or in the printer's hands, two 

 or three articles on the text of Shakspeare, to which we propose to 

 give immediate insertion. After which we would suggest the pro- 

 priety of our Correspondents suspending their labour on this sub- 

 ject until the appearance o/Mr. CothiEK' s promised edition, which 

 is to contain all the MS. emendations in his copy of the Folio of 1632. 



Prestoniensis. a Tandem was so named from some University 

 wag, because he drove his two horses not abreast, but at length. 



W. L. C. (Preston). A common brass medal, of no pecuniary 

 value. 



J. G. T. (near Eden Bridge). The word Quarantine is from 

 the Italian Quaranto, and refers to the forty days, after which it 

 was supposed there was no further danger qf infection. The hymn 

 " Hock of Ages " was written by Topladys and " Lo, he comes, iri 

 clouds descending ! " by Oliver. 



T. F. (Taunton) is thanked for his suggestions. The first and 

 second shall have due consideration. As to the third, the taking of 

 it is in no case intended to be compulsory.
