James Mead (2"'S. i. 94.) — If R. J. will favour 
me with his address, I shall be happy to send him 
a clue whereby to get at James Mead.

Suchet in der Schrifft (2° S. i. 76.) — The 
words, ‘f Das Fleisch geliistet wider den Geist, und 
den Geist wider das Fleisch,” are decidedly un- 
grammatical as they stand; and the answer given 
in “N. & Q,” merely suggests another mode of 
expression, which would be indeed grammatical, 
but which is clearly inadmissible in the German 
text. There can be little doubt that den is a mis- 
take which has crept in, and might be unhesitat- 
ingly corrected by reference to the Danish and 
Dutch versions, The Danish reads thus: “ Thi 
kidet begierer imod aanden, men aanden imod 
kidet.” The Dutch version is: “Het vleesch 
begeert tegen den Geest, ende de Geest tegen het 
vleesch.” In both these correlative languages 
the sentence is similarly constructed, and it is 
most probable that Luther’s German originally 
stood in the same way. F.C. H. 
[ We must abide by our former reply, and maintain its 
rammatical accuracy, in which we are supported by 
Adelung, Grimm, Becker, Kehrein, indeed by every Ger- 
map grammarian of repute. ‘The Danish and Dutch 
texts are not in point. The article in Danish is inflected 
in the genitive only, and begieren in the one language, 
and begeeren in the other, are active verbs. The cele- 
brated German grammarian Adelung, in his well-known 
WGrterbuch, quotes, under the verb geliisten, this very 
identical text from Luther's version as an illustration of 
the use of the verb as an impersonal. F.C. H. may have 
momentarily forgotten the rule applying to impersonal 
yerbs, namely, that they may be used elliptically, leaving 
out es or employing it. Adelung gives the following in- 
stance: “Es geliistet sie, oder sje geliistet nach selt- 
samer Speise.” Luther's first German edition of 1534 
gives the text as F. C. H. quotes it, In the first Roman 
atholic edition of the German Bible (circa 1462) the 
passage stands thus: “ Wajii daz flaisch begeytigt wider 
de gaist: vii der gaist wider das flaisch.” Here, how- 
ever, begeytigen is an active verb, used in the sense of be- 
gehren — to desire, lust after. ] 
Vaux Family (2° 8. iii. 55.)— There was pri- 
vately printed, in 1826, a small 8yo. tract, ‘en- 
titled, Short Account of the Family of Le Vauz, 
Vaiis, or Vaus, of Barro-varroch ; ‘but whether it 
will be of any service to your correspondent Mr. 
Bicuarps, in the elucidation of his inquiry or 
not, I cannot at present say, not having in my 
possession a copy of the said tract. AW Cee

__ Passage in Tennyson's “ In Memoriam.” (2™ §. 
i. 116.) — Both the stanzas quoted by Mr. Broop 
are in Tennyson’s poem. The one occurs at 
p- 118., where it ig the opening stanza of Lxxx1y. ; 
the other is the last stanza of xxyu. We are 
obliged to anything which sends us back to the 
pages of that wonderful book In Memoriam, on 
which it is almost impossible to bestow too much 
study and admiration, so profound are the 
thoughts, and so exquisite the expression of them. 
It may be interesting to the admirers of Tennyson 
to compare the stanzas in y1.: — 
“ Oh father, wheresoe’er thou be, 
That pledgest now thy gallant son, 
A shot, ere half thy draught be done, 
Hath still’d the life that beat from thee. 
“Oh mother, praying God will save 
Thy sailor — while thy head is bow’d, 
His heavy-shotted hammock shroud 
Drops in his yast and wandering grave.” 
with a passage from p. 5. of Jeremy Taylor’s 
Holy Dying. He quotes from Petronius the ac- 
count of a man who had been shipwrecked, who 
sees on the shore a corpse floated, towards it. 
How that — 
“Tt cast him into some sad thoughts; that peradven- 
ture this man’s wife in some part of the Continent, safe 
and warm, looks next month for the good man’s return ; 
or it may be his son knows nothing of the tempest; or 
his father thinks of that affectionate kiss which still is 
warm upon the good old man’s cheek ever since he took 
a kind farewell, and he weeps with joy to think how 
blessed he shall be when his beloved boy returns into the 
circle of his father’s arms. These are the thoughts of 
mortals, this is the end and sum of all their designs; a 
dark night and an ill guide, a boisterous sea and a broken 
cable, a hard rgck anda rough wind, dash’d in pieces the 
fortune of a whole family, and they that shall weep 
loudest for the accident, are not yet entered into the 
storm, and yet have suffered shipwreck.”

Orchard (24 S. i. 65.) — Professor Martyn, in 
his Notes on Virgil’s Georgica, states, that this 
word is derived from opxaros, as used by Homer. 
Milton writes it orchat, and J. Phillips, in his 
poem on Cider, calls it orchat. This is also the 
common expression in Devonshire. Phillips, 
book i., writes thus : 
sé : c : . Else false hopes 
He cherishes, nor will his fruit expect 
Th’ autumnal season, but in summer’s pride, 
When other orchats smile, abortive fail.”

My remarks on the derivation of ‘* Name,” from 
Nomen (1% S. xii. 339.), seem equally applicable 
to this derivation of ‘‘ Orchard” from the Greek. 
If we turn to Johnson (Todd's) or Webster, we 
find given as an etymon the Ang.-Sax. word ort- 
geard. If we turn to Bosworth, we find ort-geard, 
a garden, a yard for fruit, an orchard. 
Jow, admitting the gutteral pronunciation of 
g before e, we have a sound not very dissimilar 
from that of or-chard. If, however, this be not 
| satisfactory, there is another way of considering 
the question by which we may obtain an etymon, 
in another branch of the Indo-European family,
