NOTES AND QUERIES.

struck the eye of Sib Fbedeeic Madden when 

 he had occasion to consult the book : 



" Havelock, a certain Danish foundling of the royal 

 blood ; who, as it is reported, was fostered by one Grime, 

 a merchant, and from a scuUen in the king's kitchen, was 

 for his valour and conduct in military affairs, promoted 

 to the marriage of the king's daughter." 



That the word Gowts will be found in the first 

 edition of 1658 I make no doubt, as I find it in 

 the Gazophylacium Anglicanum, 1689, which has 

 borrowed much from Phillips, thus ; 



" Gowts, a word much used in Somersetshire, signifying 

 canals, or pipes under ground; from the Fr.-G. Gouttes, 

 ■drops ; whence comes the word Esgouter, to run down drop 

 by drop ; all from the Latin Gutta, a drop." 



The dictionary of Phillips continued popular for 

 more than half a century ; an edition, consider- 

 ably enlarged, was given by John Kersey, Philo- 

 bibl., in 1706. 



A work containing a complete chronological 

 account of English lexicography and lexico- 

 graphers, would be a most acceptable addition to 

 linguistics and literary history. I have reason to 

 think that my late friend, Mr. Douce, once con- 

 templated something of the kind, and know that 

 he had made collections on the subject. In the 

 present more advanced state of philological in- 

 quiries, it is to be hoped that some one of the 

 many highly qualified philologers of our time may 

 be induced to achieve a work which might afford 

 a complete historical view of the progressive 

 changes in our language. S. W. Singek.

The " singular difficulty now for the first time 

 submitted" by Mb. Way "for investigation," 

 under the above heading, admits of easy solution : 

 if, without presumption, that may be termed easy 

 of discovery, " which has been long sought in vain 

 by Sir P. Madden, and which found the late 

 Mr. Rodd at fault." 



The Dictionarium Anglicum, used by Skinner, 

 referred to by Mr. Way, is merely — 



" The New World of English Words, or, a General 

 Dictionary ; containing the Interpretation of such hard 

 Words as are derived from other Languages, whether 



Hebrew, &c Collected and published by E. P. 



London : printed by £. Tvler for Nath. Brooke, at the 

 feign of the ' Angel' in Cornhill, 1658." 



It is hardly necessary to say, that E. P. is

WORKS ON LOGIC 



THE FIFTEENTH 



PUBLISHED IN 

 CENTURY. 



(Vol. ii., p. 199.) 

 Your correspondent M. asks, "What is the 

 earliest printed book on Logic ? " He mentions 



the exposition of Petrus Hispanus by Joh. Ver- 

 sor, in 1473 ; and the Summulce of Paulus Venetua, 

 in 1474. If these dates are correct, there is little 

 doubt that M. has discovered what he asks for. 

 From Mr. Robert Blakey's valuable, but imper- 

 fect Catalogue of Works on Logic, appended to his 

 Essay on Logic, 1 cull the following names of 

 works on Logic published in the fifteenth century : 



" Buridanus (J.), Summula in Logicam, S. L. 1487, 4to. 

 Andrea (Antoninus), Questiones in Aristotelia Logicam, 



1489. 

 Albertus Magnus, Commentaria in iv libros Logic» 



Aristot. Colon., 1490, fol. 

 Albertus Magnus, Opera ad Logicam pertinentia, Venet. 



1494. 

 Albertus Magnus, Commentaria in Isagogen Porphyrii 



et in omnes libros Aristot. de vetere Logica: CoL 



Agr. 1494, fol. 

 Bricotus (Thomas), Abbre. Textus totius Logices: 



Paris, 1494. 

 Albertus Magnus, Epitomata sive Reparationes Logicse 



veteris et novae Aristot. : CoL, 1496, 4to. 

 Van Brussel, Facillima in Aristotelis Logica Interpre- 



tatio : Paris, 1496, 4to. 

 Buridamus (J.), Compendium Logicse : Venet., 1499. 

 Valerius (C), De Dialectica, lib. iii. : Venet, 1499. 

 (Anonymous), Commentaria in iv libros novae Logicaa 

 secundum Processus bursae Laurent. Colon, ubi Doc- 

 trina Albert! Magni, etc. : Colon., 1494, fol." 



To these works from Blakey's Catalogue, I add 

 the following : 



" Comment, in prim. lib. pr. Anal. Aristot. Gr. : Venet., 

 1489. 

 Valla (Laurentius), De Dialectic^, : Venet., 1499." 



I shall be obliged to any of your correspondents 

 who may assist me in the completion of a Cata- 

 logue of Works on Logic published in the fifteenth 

 century. 



Has your correspondent M. ever seen the two 

 works which he refers to ? I have especial doubts 

 as to the date he gives of the Summulce of Venetus. 

 Mistakes in dates are not uncommon in catalogues ; 

 e.g., Mr. Blakey gives 1202 as the date of an 

 edition of Noel's Logique de Condillac! 



Perhaps Pbof. De Morgan would assist me in 

 completing the Catalogue in question.

THE LAST JACOBITES. 



(Vol. X., p. 507.) 



In spite of Valentine, Lord Cloncurry, with 

 his^ obnoxious pamphlet, his connexion with the 

 "United Irishmen," and his friendship for the 

 Cardinal de York, I cannot help believing that 

 your correspondent R. C. C. is correct in the view 

 he takes of the Jacobites as they existed in 1807. 

 I could have wished the accomplished writer in 

 Household Words to have given us his authorities. 

 As he has not done so, a few remarks from me 

 may not be deemed intrusive.
