NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 202. 



of the Church; another published In 1707, being 

 the Funeral Sermon for Sir E. Tumor of Stoke 

 Rochford * (whose chaplain he was), a great pro- 

 moter of pious and charitable undertakings. Can 

 these sermons be now procured ? Is anything 

 farther known respecting the author or his family ? 



E. H. A. 



C7-assus^ Saying (Vol. vii., p. 498.). — Mr. Ewart 

 will not easily extract his English from the Latin, 

 which is simply, " Fit salad for such lips."

Stanzas in '■'■ Childe Harold" (Vol. iv. passim). 



— This stanza has already occupied too many of 

 your pages ; will you, however, allow me to put a 

 ryder on it, by referring your correspondents 

 to Lord Byron's own ignorance of the meaning of 

 an expression in this stanza, expressed in a letter 

 to Murray, published in Moore's Life, Letter 323, 

 dated Venice, 24th September, 1818, when, after 

 pointing out an error in the same canto, he says : 



" What does ' thy waters tvasted them ' mean ? That 

 is not vie. Consult the MS. always." 



And in a note by Moore on this letter, he says, 

 " This passage remains also uncorrected." 



At the end of this letter Byron writes, '■'■I saw the 

 canto hy accident." Query : If Byron only saw 

 his cantos by " accident," would not a new edition 

 of his works collated with his MSS. be " a con- 

 summation devoutly to be wished." S. Wmson. 



Glasgow. 



^'■WelTs a fret" (Vol. viii., p. 197.).— This is one 

 of a class which will be lost if not recorded. 

 Forty years ago, in the West of England, and 

 perhaps elsewhere, a servant, when teased by a 

 child to know where such a person Avas, would 

 answer — 



" In his skin. 

 When he jumps out, you may jump in." 



The answer to Eh ? was always Straw. I dare 

 say more of these things will be produced. What 

 ought they to be called ? M. 



Tenet or Tenent (Vol. vii., p. 205.). — We speak 

 of the tenets of a sect. Somewhat less than a cen- 

 tury ago the formula would have been their 

 tenents ; and was not this the more correct ? 



Balliolensis. 



Mrs. Catherine Barton (Vol. iii., pp. 328. 434.). 



— When I answered the Query, I was not aware 

 of what Baily states in the Supplement to Fhim- 

 stead, p. 750. Rigaud ascertained for Baily that 

 Mrs. C. B. (the title Mistress being given at that 

 period to marriageable young ladies) was not the 

 wife, but the sister of Colonel Barton. Both were 

 the children of Hannah Smith, Newton's half-

 about 1680. M.

We have postponed Icon's friendly letter on the Sliakspeare 

 Correspondence until next u-eek, when we propose to accompany 

 it by some few observations of our own. We shall take that oppor. 

 tunity also of noticing a communication with which we have been 

 favoured by Mr. Singer. 



Z. will find so?ne illustrations of his Queries on Passages from 

 Milton and Gray discussed in our prcs.nl Number. The other 

 shall appear in an early Number. 



A. B. C. It docs not follow that, because we thought the one 

 paper sent us by this Correspondent wortliy of insertion in our 

 columns, every other which he may favour us with is to be printed. 



Greek Inscription on a Font. — We have been rrmindcd by 

 several friendly Correspond nts that this Query, inserted. ant6, 

 p. 198., had been discussed in our preceding Volume, pp. 178. 

 3C6. 417. 



Z. Mr. Winston's book, published hy Parker of Oxford, will 

 give him the best information on the subject of Stained or Coloured 

 Glass. 



R. W. E. (Clifton). Would our Correspondent oblige ns by 

 forwarding a copy of the \st No. of the Curiosities of Bristol ana 



its Neighbourhood V 



C will fi'id that his Query respecting Grinning like a Cheshire 

 Cat has been anticipated, " N. & Q.," Vol. ii., pp. 377. 412.; 

 Vol. v., p. 402. 



J. E.'s Query has been long since pu' and answered, as he will 

 see by an article in the present Number. 



T. D. S. (Ruihin). In all probability there is a deficiency of 

 acetic arid in your developing solution, or the acetic acid is impure 

 and is adulterated with sulphuric acid. A few drops of nitrate of 

 baryta would test the purity. 



Colouring Collodion Pictures. — We should like to see a 

 specimen of .Mr. Lane's skill, and should be very happy to instrt 

 his process. 



Photography at Bath We understand that a pamphlet im- 

 pugning the correctness of some processes given in '" N. & Q." 

 has been published nt Bath, but, as we know neither the authir's 

 name nor the publisher, have to request information on those 

 points from sovie Bath photographer. 



Errata. — In p. 194., for "bytleing" read "bythin?;" for 

 " byth " read " bytl. ; " p. 195., the 24th line from the bottom of 

 the page, for " the prenzie Angelo " read " the prenze Angelo ; " 

 p. 207., for "parish of West Fetton " read "parish of Weit 

 Felton."
