NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2«4 & IX. June 16. '60. 



Henry Cantrell, M.A. — In the years 1713, 

 1714, was a discussion on baptism and ordination, 

 in which Mr. Cantrell of Derby joined. Wanted, 

 the titles, authors, dates, places, and printers of 

 the books on the subject — this Qtfetj having 

 more special reference to Nottingham and Derby. 



A tract of the last-named year, printed at Not- 

 tingham, is in my possession ; and a bound volume 

 was for sale in one of Mr. Kerslake's catalogues, 

 a short time ago, but that gentleman can give no 

 farther information. S. F. Ckeswell. 



The School, Tonbridge, Kent. 



[We have only met with the following works on this 

 controversy : — 1. The Invalidity of the Lay-Baptisms of 

 Dissenting Teachers, proved from Scripture and Anti- 

 quity, and from the Judgment of the Church of England j 

 in Answer to a late Pamphlet by Mr. Shaw, intituled, The 

 Validitv of Baptism administered by Dissenting Minis- 

 ters. To which is added, A Vindication of the Clergy's 

 refusal to read the Burial Office over unbaptized Persons. 

 With a Letter from the Rev. Mr. Harris. By II. Can- 

 trell, M.A. 8vo. Nottingham. 1714. — 2. The Royal 

 Martyr, or True Christian, or a Confutation of a late As- 

 sertion, viz. that King Charles I. had only the Lay-Bap- 

 tism of a Presbyterian Teacher: with an Account of the 

 Government of the Church of Scotland since the Reform- 

 ation, shewing that Presbytery is an Innovation in that 

 Kingdom. To which is added, a Particular Relation' of 

 the Solemnity of Charles I. his Baptism, from the Heralds' 

 Office in Edinburgh: and a Preface in Reply to Mr. 

 Shaw's Defence of the Validity of the Baptisms of Dis- 

 senting Ministers. By fit. Cantrell, M.A. 8vo. Lond. 

 171G.— 3. An Apology for the Foreign Protestant Churches 

 having no Episcopacy; and an Answer to the unchris- 

 tian and uncharitable Principles of Henry Cantrell, to- 

 gether with a Short Account of the Valdences and 

 Albigences. 8vo. Lond. 1717.] 



Numao. — While travelling in Portugal last year, 

 I happened to stumble upon the remains of a large 

 fortified town that excited my curiosity ; and as I 

 hare vainly endeavoured to discover anything 

 about it, I now try, through your columns, if any 

 of your readers can help me. The present name 

 of this fortification is Namaq. It is situated about 

 twenty miles E.S.E. of S. Joao de Pesqueira, and 

 consists of a high wall built of large rectangular 

 ashlars, surrounding an uneven space of ground 

 covered with ruins of about three quarters of a 

 mile square, and must have been a place of no 

 small importance. The natives, as is usual in 

 such cases, knew nothing about it, and I could get 

 no information concerning it anywhere, and Mur- 

 ray passes it over most unceremoniously, while 

 he suggests it may be the ancient Numaalium .'.' 

 I have beard it said somewhere that this Namao 

 was the last stronghold held by the Templars in 

 Europe ; and I should be very glad of any in- 

 formation, especially on this last point. Templar. 



[In Map 51. of the Maps of the Useful Knowledge 

 Society, Xuniao appears as " NbihSo Mu.ro.gata," in the 

 Province of lieira, and a little to the S. of the Douro. 

 In Bluteau's Vocalnilario, also, it is " Notiido." Bluteau 

 calls it a " Villa de Portugal," as if, when he wrote 

 (1716), it was still a place of human habitation. He 



states that, in a " foral " granted to Nomao by King 

 Diniz, it is called Monforte. J. B. de Castro, in his 

 Mappa de Portugal, 17(>2, vol. i. p. 24., calls it " Nemtio." 

 According to our own impression, the much-contested 

 site of the famous Numantia was nearer the sources of 

 the Douro. De Castro, however [itt supra), states that 

 the identity of "Nemao" with '-Numancia" has been 

 strenuously maintained by Brito, Brandao, Cardoso, and 

 J. Salgado de Araujo, though ably contested by the P. Ar- 

 gote. Bluteau, also, says that Nomao is supposed to be 

 the ancient" Numancia." We regret that we are unable 

 to afford any information respecting the supposed con- 

 nexion of Numao with the Templars.] 



Bishops Jolly and Kidder. — 1. Where may 

 the anecdote be found which connects Bp. Jolly's 

 death with Sutton's Disce Mori f 



2. Who is it that says of Bp. Kidder — 



" He was a very clear, elegant, and learned writer, and 

 one of the best divines of his time." 



J. A. Sl'AVERTON. 



Henfield, Sussex. 



[1. "The last book which the venerable Bishop Jolly 

 had in his hand the evening before his death, was the 

 treatise of Christopher Sutton, Disce Mori, Learn to Die." 

 — The Episcopal Mag., Sept. 1838, p. 289. The passage 

 will also probably be found in Bp. Walker's Memoir, pre- 

 fixed to Bp. Jolly's Sunday Services, 2d edit. 1839. 



2. The passage relating to Bp. Kidder is the conclud- 

 ing sentence of his Life in the Biographia Britannica."] 



Fanshaw's " II Pastor Fido." — Wanted, some 

 particulars of the early editions of Fanshaw's II 

 Pastor Fido, with the dates. Am I right in think- 

 insr that 1647, 1648, are the dates of the two first ? 



K. 



[The earliest edition of Fanshaw's translation of 11 

 Pastor Fido is that of Lond. 1617, 4to., with portrait of 

 Guarini; republished, Lond. 1648, 4to., with frontispiece 

 by Ctoss, and portrait of Guarini; again in 1664, 8vo. ; 

 and in 1676, 8vo., with an addition of divers other poems, 

 concluding with a short Discourse of the long Civil 

 Wars of Rome. After two Dedications to Charles II., 

 when Prince of Wales, to whom Sir Richard Fanshaw 

 was secretary, are commendatory verses to the translator, 

 by Sir John" Denham. The edition of 1736, 12mo., has 

 the Italian as well as the English translation.] 



Rappee. — Will anyone be good enough to give 

 the origin of the word i-appee, as applied to 



Snuff. 



[We are indebted for the term rappee, Jwhich properly 

 signifies a coarse-grained snuff, to the French rape, or 

 tabac rape, which, strictly speaking, is tobacco reduced to 

 powder by means of the rape, formerly raspe, an instru- 

 ment employed for that purpose. The French have not 

 only the rape a tabac for snuff-making, but the rape a 

 poivre for pepper, &c. To account for the use of the rape 

 in making snuff, it is requisite to bear in mind that the 

 teafy parts of the tobacco are employed in the manufac- 

 ture of cigars (if genuine), while the veins and stalks are 

 thrown aside to'do duty as snuff. Hence the need of the 

 rape, raspe, or some other instrument answering the 

 same purpose. Hence also the woody feeling, resembling 

 saw-dust, so observable in some snuti's and so unpleasing 

 to discriminative snuff-takers. With the Fr. noun rape 

 and verb rdper, cf. Sw. and D. rasp, G. raspel, raspeln, &c, 

 as well as our own rasp, It. raspa, raspdre, Sp. raspar, 

 &c]
