NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 179. 



long felt, is produced in the same handsome style, and 

 with the same profuseness of illustration, as its prede- 

 cessor, and will be found valuable not only to ar- 

 chaeologists who study history in brick and stone, but 

 also to those who search in the memorials of bygone 

 ages for illustrations of manners and customs, and of 

 that greater subject than all, the history of our social 

 progress. 



Books Received. — History of England from the 

 Peace of Utrecht to the Peace of Versailles, 1713 — 1783, 

 by Lord Mahon, vol. ii. 1720 — 1740. This second 

 volume of the new and cheaper edition of Lord Mahon's 

 work extends from the accession of Walpole and 

 Townshend to oflSce in 1720, to the Declaration of 

 War against Spain in 1739, and contains a valuable 

 appendix of original papers. — The Annals of Roger de 

 Hoveden, from a.d. 732 to a.d, 1201, translated from the 

 Latin, with Notes and Illustrations, by Henry T. Riley. 

 Vol. L A.D. 732 to A.D. 1180, is a new volume of the 

 valuable series of Translations of Early English Chro- 

 nicles, which is to give so important a character to 

 Bohn's Antiquarian Library. — Thomas a Becket and 

 other Poems, by Patrick Scott. Notices of new poems 

 scarcely fall within our vocation, but Mr. Scott is a 

 true poet, and we cannot refuse to praise the present 

 volume, and more especially the little poem which owes 

 its origin to the notice of the opening of the coffin of 

 Lady Audrey Leigh in our 156th Number. — The 

 Family Shakspeare, Sfc, by Thomas Bowdler, Vol. V. 

 This fifth volume contains Troilus and Cressida, Co- 

 riolanus, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, and 

 Cymbeline.

We hope next week, in addition to many other interesting 

 articles, to lay before our readers a copy of a remarkable and 

 inedited Proclamation of Henry VIII. on the subject of the 

 Translation of the Scriptures; and some specimens of the Rigby 

 Correspondence. 



Hercules. The custom (which we hope does not very generally 

 obtain) of sending green ribbons, called willows, tied round bridal 

 cards, to rejected suitors of the bride, is no doubt derived from thai 

 alluded to by Shakspeare and Herrick, and especially Fuller, who 

 tells us the willow " is a sad tree, whereqf such as have lost their 

 love make their mourning garments." 



Robin Hood. A Subscriber would be obliged bv H. K. 

 (Vol. vi., p. 597.) giving a precise reference to the Act of the 

 Scotch Parliament prohibiting " the plays and personages (tf Robin 

 Hood," SfC. 



C. Mansfield Ingleby willfindthe proverb " When Our Lord 

 falls in Our Lady's lap," SfC, in our Number for the 12th Feb., 

 p. 1.^7. 



Viator. The imprecatory Epitaph referred to has already 

 appeared in our columns. 



W. A. C. is thanked. The rhymes have, however, been already 

 frequently printed by Brockett, Brand, Sfc. 



B. L. (Manchester). The ordinary use of arms bi/ the English 

 nobility «« supposed to date from about the year 1 146." The arms 

 on the shield of GeoffYey de Mandeville in the Temple Church have 

 been considered among the earliest examples of heraldic hearings 

 in England. He died in 1144. 



Hy. Ce. Our Correspondent is probably correct. The lines are 

 not in the reprint of the Musarum Delicije: so we amend our 

 reply to David Brown in No. 177., by stating that the lines 

 " That same man, that runneth awaie, ; 



May again fight, an other dale " — 

 are from Udall's translation of the Apothegms of Erasmus. 



Does a Corpse passing make a Right of Wav? A. S. will find 

 an elaborate answer to this Query in our 3rd Vol., p. 519. He is 

 also referred to pp. 477. and 507. qf the same volume, and pp. 124. 

 240., Vol. iv. 



A. B. Mosaic is so named from the tesselated pavements of the 

 Romans, which being worked in a regular and mechanical manner, 

 were called Opus musivum, opera quee ad amussim facta sunt. 

 Hence the Italian musaico, the French mosaique, and our English 

 mosaic. See " N. & Q.," Vol. iii., pp. 389. 469. 521. 



C. Gonville. How can we forward a letter to this Corre- 

 spondent ? 



M. C. The answer to Mr. Canning's famous riddle is " Cares 

 — Caress." 



Bbookthorpe. The epitaph, 



" If Heaven is pleased," ^c, 

 is soTnetimes said to have been written on Burnet, and at others on 

 Coleman the Jesuit. See our 5th Vol., pp. 58. 137., SfC. 



Photographic Notes and Queries. Several articles are 

 necessarily postponed until next week, when we will also give 

 Replies to several Correspondents. We hope by that time to be 

 able to report upon the new Camera. 



The Rev. J. L. Sisson is thanked for the very beautiful speci- 

 men of his skill which he has forwarded to us. We hope to 

 write to him in the course of a day or two.
