Seal of Killigrew, Master of the Revels. —In 
the Museum at Sudbury, in the county of Suffolk, 
is, or was when I made a note of it about three 
years since, a silver seal with a crystal handle, 
which is said to have belonged to Killigrew, King 
Charles’s celebrated Master of the Revels. The 
arms are, argent, an eagle displayed with two 
heads within a bordure sable bezanty. Crest. A 
demi-lion sable, charged with three bezants.

Lacedemonian Black Broth.— Your corre- 
spondent “ W.” in No.11., is amusing as well as 
instructive; but it does not yet appear that we 
must reject the notion of coffee as an ingredient 
of the Lacedemonian black broth upon the score 
of colour or taste. 
That it was an ingredient has only as yet been 
mooted as a probability. 
Pollux, to whom your correspondent refers us, 
says that Cwudc wedadc was a Lacedemonian food; 
and that it was called aivaria, translated in Scott 
and Liddell’s Lexicon, “ blood-broth.” These lexi- 
cographers add, ‘‘The Spartan black broth was 
made with blood,” and refer to Manso’s Sparta, a | 
German work, which I have not the advantage of 
consulting. 
Gesner, in his Thesaurus, upon the word “ jus,” 
quotes the known passage of Cicero, Tusc. Disp. 
vy. 34,, and thinks the “jus nigrum” was probably 
the aizaria, and made with an admixture of blood, 
as the “botuli,” the black puddings of modern 
time, were. 
Coffee would not be of a much lighter colour than 
blood. A decoction of senna, though of a red- 
brown, is sometimes administered in medicine 
under the common name of a “ black dose.” 
As regards the colour, then, whether blood or 
coffee were the ingredient, the mess would be 
sufficiently dark to be called “ black.” 
In respect of taste, it is well known, from the 
story told by Cicero in the passage above referred

to, that the Lacedzemonian black broth was dis- 
agreeable, at least to Dionysius, and the Lacede- 
monians, who observed to him that he wanted that 
best of sauces, hunger, convey a confession that 
their broth was not easily relished. 
The same story is told with a little variation by 
Stobzeus, Serm. xxix., and Plutarch, Jnstitut. La- 
con., 2. The latter writer says, that the Syracu- 
san, having tasted the Spartan broth, “ spat it out 
in disgust,” dvcxepdvavra amontioui. 
It would not have been unlike the Lacedamo- 
nians purposely to have established a disagreeable 
viand in their system of public feeding. Men that 
used iron money to prevent the accumulation of 
wealth, and, as youths, had volunteered to be 
scourged, scratched, beat about, and kicked about, 
to inure them to pain, were just the persons to 
affect a nauseous food to discipline the appetite. 
Lacedemonian Black Broth. — I should be glad 
to know in what passages of ancient authors the 
Lacedemonian black broth is mentioned, and 
whether it is alluded to in such terms as to indi- 
cate the nature of the food. It has occurred to 
me that it is much more probable that it was the 
same black broth which is now cooked in Greece, 
where I have eaten of it and found it very good, 
although it looked as if a bottle of ink had been 
poured into the mess. 
The dish is composed of small cuttle-fish (with 
their ink-bags) boiled with rice or other vege- 
tables. W.C. TREVELYAN.

Bigotry.— The word Bigotry pervades almost 
all the languages of Europe, but its etymology has 
not been satisfactory to Noah Webster. The ap- 
plication of it is generally intelligible enough ; 
being directed against those who pertinaciously 
adhere to their own system of religious faith. But 
as early as the tenth century it appears, that the 
use of the word Bigot, originated in a circum- 
stance, or incident, unconnected with religious 
views. An old chronicle, published by Duchesne 
in the 3rd vol. of his Hist. Francorum Scriptores, 
states, that Rollo, on receiving Normandy from the 
King of France, or at least of that part of it, was 
called upon to kiss the foot of the king, a cere- 
mony, it seems, in use not at the Vatican only; 
but he refused “unless the king would raise his 
foot to his mouth.” When the counts in attend- 
| ance admonished him to comply with this usual 
_ form of accepting so valuable a fief, he still de- —
