NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2=<i S. VI. 152., Nov. 27. '58. 



Fenhill (2""* S. vi. 328.) — Not being acquainted 

 with the locality, or the correct story attached to 

 it, I could merely offer a sujigestion that Penhill 

 may be au instance of what Dr. Donaldson in his 

 Varronianus calls a translation«word, the British 

 word " Pen " being translated by the Saxon 

 " hill," a solution which would seem to explain 

 other etymological difficulties. The only instance 

 I remember is one which I think is quoted in 

 Vari-onianiis, Wans-beck-water, the name of a 

 small Northumbrian stream, where water trans- 

 lates the Celtic Wau (= Avon ?) and the Saxon 

 beck. C. J. S. Waijcek. 



Heraldic Query (2"* S. vi. 374.) — Querist in 

 this case, having no arms of his own, cannot adopt 

 Armiger's to supply the deficiency. He must 

 apply at the Heralds' College, and take out arms 

 for himself or his flither and his maternal grand- 

 father. He will then be entitled to bear Armi- 

 ger's as a Quartering, and in addition any other 

 quarterings which Armiger's family may have had 

 the right to bear. His maternal grandfather's 

 also of course as a quartering. The fees and 

 etamp, &c. for this proceeding would not, I should 

 say, be under sixty pounds.

Mrs. Glasse and Iter Cooliery Book (2°'^ S. vi. 

 322.)— Our remarks, Mr. Editor, on "Mrs. Glasse 

 and her Cookery Book" have called down upon us 

 a private monition from one of that tiresome, but 

 nevertheless very meritorious, class of persons, 

 your "Constant Readers." He says that we have 

 told you what Mrs. Glasse was rather than ivho 

 she was ; and expresses an anxiety to know when 

 her Cookery Book was first published. On this 

 latter point we can satisfy him. It was published 

 in 1747, in a thin folio; very appropriately in what 

 the booksellers call aj;o< folio. Of ISlxs. Glasse's 

 personal history we know nothing. A somewhat 

 uncomfortable notice of her appears in the pages 

 oi Sylvanus Urban for the year 1754. It would 

 seem that she had (shall vfe say, characteristic- 

 ally ?) made " a hash " of her affairs. Sylvanus 

 records, under " B — kr — pts for May, 1754 " (the 

 spaces are his : how gently the old gentleman 

 touched upon the misfortunes of others — he 

 could not print the word in full !) : — 



"Hannah Glasse, of St. Paul's, Coveut Garden, Vrare- 

 hoiise-keeper." 



Possibly her stock of "hoop-petticoats" did not 

 go off so quickly as they would have done at the 

 present day. 



In taking leave of Mrs. Glasse, permit us to 

 commend the following passage from her Preface 

 to the attention of all who are interested in the 

 education of the lower classes : — 



" If I Lave not wrote in the high, polite Stile, I hope 1 

 shall be forgiven ; for m3' Intention is to instruct the 

 lower Sort, and therefore must treat them in their own 

 Waj'. For Example; when I bid them lard a Fowl, if I 



should bid them lard with large Lardoons, they would 

 not know what I meant : But when I say the)' must lard 

 with little Pieces of Bacon, they know what 1 mean." 



Very sensible ! Mrs. Glasse, and, like most of 

 your receipts, very " good taste." Would that all 

 instructors could be prevailed upon to drop " the 

 high, polite stile ! " F. S. A. 



P.S. We do not find in either the first edition 

 or ours (the fourth) the pithy advice usually at- 

 tributed to Mrs. Glasse — "first catch your bare."
