NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 217. 



legged, or he is no-legged," connected by their 

 several copulas, are equivalent to and co-extensive 

 with the disjunctive proposition which he instances. 



Mr. Ingleby quotes Boole's Mathematical (?) 

 Analysis of Logic in support of his opinion ; but, 

 from the ifollovving specimen of that work, it does 

 not appear to be much of an authority. The 

 author says : 



" The proposition, Every animal is either rational or 

 irrational, cannot be resolved into, Either every animal 

 is rational or every animal is irrational. The former 

 belongs to pure categoricals, the latter to hypo- 

 theticals." * 



Now the first sentence of this passage is an ab- 

 surd truism ; but the proposition in question can 

 be resolved into — An animal is rational or it is 

 irrational. Again, " the former does not belong 

 to pure categoricals," it is simply disjunctive. 

 Mr. Ingleby falls into the same error, and more- 

 over seems not to be aware that a disjunctive pro- 

 position is at the same time hypotlietical. 



Logically speaking, a conjunction implies two 

 propositions; and, strictly, connects propositions 

 only. To say that conjunctions connect words, 

 may be true in a certain sense ; but it is a very 

 superficial and loose mode of stating the matter.

Descendants of Milton (Vol. viii., p. 339.). — 

 I have in the course of my life met with or heard 

 of more than once or twice, people of the same 

 names, and those very uncommon ones, who were 

 in no way related to each other ; nevertheless, 

 I venture to tell your correspondent J. F. M. 

 that about twenty years ago there was living the 

 skipper of a coasting vessel, trading between 

 Bridport and London, named Caleb Clark. He 

 or his family are probably living at Bridport now.

Pronunciation of Bible Names (Vol. viii., p.469.). 

 — The clerk of a retired parish in North-west 

 Devon, who had to read the first lesson always, 

 used to make a hash of Shadrac, Meshac, and 

 Abednego ; and as the names are twelve times 

 repeated in the third chapter of Daniel, after get- 

 ting through them the first time, he called them 

 "the aforesaid gentlemen" afterwards.

Henry I.^s Tomb (Vol. viii., p. 411.). — I fancy 

 that the much mooted question, as to the existence 

 of a monumental tomb over the remains of King 

 Henry I. in Reading Abbey, may at once be set 

 at rest by referring to Tanner's Notitia Monastica, 

 edit. 1744, in the second column of p. 15. : where 

 it is evident that a tomb and an effigy of King 

 Henry L had once existed ; that they had both 

 fallen into decay ; and that, in the time of King

Richard II., the Abbot of Reading was required to 

 repair both the tomb and the eflagy of King Henry 

 the founder, who was there buried, within the 

 space of one year, as the condition on which the 

 charters were to be confirmed :

 Chandler, Bishop of Durham (Vol. viii, p. 331.). 

 — I may perhaps "kill two birds with one stone," 

 by reminding Messrs. Gatty and Newburn that 

 the Bishops of Durham were formerly Princes of 

 the Palatinate. It was probably in that capacity 

 that Bishop Chandler delivered a charge to the 

 Grand Jury, and Bishop Barington licensed a 

 meeting-house bell. This latter prelate was, I 

 believe, the last who exercised the functions of 

 that high office. Wm. Hazel.

Does this list exist in any of our record offices ? 

 And has it ever been printed ? Tewaes. 



Peter Allan (Vol. viii., p. 539.). — Your corre- 

 spondent E. C. will find much interesting inform- 

 ation respecting this person in an account of him 

 reprinted from the Sunderland and Durham County 

 Herald, and published (1848) by Vint and Carr, 

 Sunderland, under the title of Marsden Rock, or 

 the Story of Peter Allan, and Marsden Marine 

 Grotto. He, his wife, eight children, and aged 

 father and mother, are there described as being in 

 a very flourishing condition : and (if I remember 

 rightly) I saw them all, when I last visited the 

 rock in 1850. Cuthbekt Bede, B.A. 



Burial in an Erect Posture (Vol. viii., p. 5.). — 

 The following passage, which I quote fromHearne's 

 Collection of Antiquarian Discourses, vol. i. p. 212., 

 may perhaps prove acceptable to Cheverells, as 

 showing (on traditional authority) that this mode 

 of burial was anciently adopted in the case of 

 captains in the army : 



" For them above the grounde buryed, I have by 

 tradition heard, that when anye notable captayne dyed 

 in battel or campe, thesouldyers used to take his bodye, 

 and to sette him on his feet uprighle, and put his
