Notes and Queries

Shakspeare and of Ancient Manners, 8vo., London, 1839, the following explanation is given as a note to the passage in A Midsummer Night's Dream: "The nine mens morris is filled up with mud."

Act ii. 1, 98. "This game was sometimes called the nine mens merrils,' from merelles or mereaux, an ancient French word for the jettons or counters with which it was played. The other term, morris, is probably a corruption, suggested by the sort of dance which in the progress of the game the counters performed. In the French merelles each party had three counters only, which were to be placed in a line in order to win the game. It appears to have been the Tremerel mentioned in an old fabliau. See Le Grand, Fabliaux et Contes, tom. ii. p. 208. "Dr. Hyde thinks the morris or merrils was known during the time that the Normans continued in possession of England, and that the name was afterwards corrupted into 'three mens morals' or 'nine mens morals.' If this be true, the conversion of morals into morris, a term so very familiar to the country people, was extremely natural. The doctor adds that it was likewise called nine-penny or nine-pin miracle, three-penny morris, five-penny morris, nine-penny morris, or three-pin, fivepin, and nine-pin morris, all corruptions of three-pin, &c., merels (Hyde, Hist. Nerdiludii, p. 202)."

Charles Knight, in a note to the same passage,

says:

"Nine men's morris' was a game played upon their spacious commons by the shepherds and ploughmen of England. The game, it is said, was brought into Eng land by the Normans.........A rude series of squares and other right lines were cut upon the turf, upon which were arranged eighteen stones, divided between two players, who moved them alternately, as at chess or draughts, the winner being he who had taken or impounded all his adversary's pieces."

PELHAM FAMILY: MANOR OF PELHAM, SUSSEX (5th S. ix. 47, 135.)—Several correspondents have pointed out the locality of the manor of "Rever vel Treve." Can any one inform me where the manor of Pelham, in Sussex, is?

That there is such a manor in Sussex is evident from the quoted Subsidy Roll, Henry IV., 1411-12. C. "DATALER" (5th S. viii. 346, 456.)-I never heard this word, which I spell datleler, till I came to live in this neighbourhood. It is pronounced dat'ler, and signifies a man employed by the owners of coal mines underground (but not in getting coal) at so much a day. A labourer who thus goes to work underground goes "a-dat'ling."

LONDON FOGS (5th S. ix. 28, 134.)-These fogs are not caused by the rarefaction of the air, or by the consumption of gas, nor yet by the hills on the condition termed an anti-cyclone is the real cause north, nor by the river. The peculiar atmospheric of these annoying visitations; the wind is then blowing round a well defined circle, in the centre of which the air is tranquil, and consequently the smoke, condensed vapours, &c., cannot escape as they do when there is a direct onward movement of the wind. The pressure of the atmosphere at such times is almost invariably greatly in excess of the average in the midst of the anti-cyclone, which, by preventing the rise of the smoke, &c., increases the intensity of the fog. Whenever, therefore, an anti-cyclone occurs with London at or near the centre, there must necessarily be a "London fog," the density of which will be in proportion to the smoke evolved at the time. The same phenomenon be observed in other places within the anticyclonic circle, but of course in a less degree of density.

NOTES ON BOOKS, &c.

Walks in London. By Augustus J. C. Hare. 2 vols. (Daldy, Isbister & Co.) THE innumerable works already published on London have, for the most part, been compiled by antiquaries whose lives were passed in ransacking the national records for the groundwork of their labours or in poring over the contents of vast libraries for anecThe years which they dotes to enliven their pages. employed in collecting the materials which their successors are now able to use without stint Mr. Hare has spent in foreign lands. Thus he can compare the neglected buildings of old London with the treasures of which other cities boast, and can contrast the unequalled glories of a London sunset with the clear skies of Italy. Artistic skill is not always found combined with literary talents, but the happy union of these qualities enables Mr. Hare to set before the eyes of his readers faithful representations of the picturesque objects which may be seen, but usually are left unnoticed, in our streets. Some of these illustrations will preserve the memory of antique houses and curious spots doomed soon to pass away. Many of the porches which used to adorn the houses of Queen Anne's Gate have already been destroyed by the ravager, but their memory cannot wholly perish when one of them is pictured in these pages. If all the mansions of Berkeley Square should lose the fine specimens of ironwork which bear witness of the days when footmen extinguished the flambeaux which they carried at the back of their masters' carriages, a glance at Mr. Hare's illustrations will revive the recollection of their appearance. There is abundant evidence in these volumes that their author is well acquainted with the choicest products of our modern literature; it is not less obvious that he cannot be praised for his knowledge of English literature or English history in the past. Mr. Hare must either have perused the compilations of his predecessors to little purpose or have corrected his proof-sheets very hastily. He could not otherwise have passed such misprints as that the famous Evelyn lived in 1583; that the murder of Miss Ray occurred in 1799; that 1763 was the date of the great storm which devastated London; or that 1640 was the time of the plot of the infamous Titus Oates. Dogget, who left the money for the race of the Thames watermen on the 1st of August in every year, did not die in 1821, and the death of that poor poet, Ambrose Philips, did not happen in 1762. Bishop Andrewes should not be stated in the same page to have died in 1626 and 1628, nor Thomas Goodwin to have died in 1643 and yet to have lost his preferment at the Restoration. It was certainly not Secker that refused to crown William and Mary, and Sacheverell's appointment to St. Andrew's, Holborn, rested on stronger foundations than a good story of Swift. Savage, the friend of Dr. Johnson, is said by Mr. Hare to have died in Newgate, and the date of 1602 is assigned for the death of Milton's second wife. Harrington, the author of Oceana, is styled a poet of the Commonwealth, and the physician of James I. is called Sir Thomas Mayerne. Again, Mr. Hare falls into error in saying that the books of Dr. Williams's library are now preserved in Somerset House, and he imports a fresh mistake into the vexed question of the old statue in Leicester Fields by the assertion that it came from the Duke of Buckingham's seat at Canons.

Before issuing a fresh edition of Walks in London he
would do well to submit its statements to the strictest
revision. If he will at the same time excise from his
and reduce to juster dimensions his account of the monu-
pages the long list of pictures in the National Gallery,
ments in Westminster Abbey, the permanent value of his
book will not be impaired. The grace of his style and
the merits of his pencil will give it a wide popularity in
the present day, but only by a careful correction of its
errors can he insure its use by the students of future years.
Mr. Hare's next venture in the world of letters will, we
hope, possess all the merits and lack all the defects of
Walks in London.

whither should we go to find those others? Not, cer-
tainly, to the printed records of the law courts, nor to the
many reams of faded writing that lie in old desks, to be
burned when their owners die; no, nor yet to Mrs.
Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese, nor to Dante's
Vita Nuova. Howsoever, we and all men have here
before us for judgment the sacred and confidential
utterances of a dying poet's only love-utterances which
add nothing to our knowledge of the poet's character
and life, and of which the publication can only be ex-
cused, if excusable at all, by the pride of possession and
by the eagerness of admiring curiosity. In one place

he would have remembered Ann Hathaway and replied
accordingly. All strong emotion is evanescent, just
because it is strong; and even if its purpose holds, the

interesting to all who care for Keats; but we knew
before that he was full of ardour, and combativeness,
and sensitiveness, and adoration for beauty, and they do
little more than confirm this knowledge. Yes, they do
one thing more: they show us the sad and bitter working
of illness and physical decay upon his spirit and his
heart. And surely it is not well for those who love his
poetry to see him thus; the painful impression as to his
later personality which this book gives will be with them
when they turn again to Endymion, or Lamia, or the
or sentimental, in these letters. They are full of force,
sonnets. But there is nothing feeble, nothing unmanly
fire, hurried vigour, and passionate tenderness; all ex-
pressed in that odd and flighty English in which Keats's
prose is so often bound. The charm of feeling is present
everywhere, but the phrases seldom rise to great literary

whose arms they confessedly do not bear. The hiatus between Henry II., or Richard, King of the Romans, and the successor of the "bright Occidental star" in 1611 is certainly valdè deflendus.-Mr. Thomas Kerslake reprints from the Journal of the British Archæological Association, vol. xxxiii., an interesting paper on Traces of the Ancient Kingdom of Damnonia outside Cornwall, in Remains of the Celtic Hagiology, read at the Bodmin Congress. The subject is one which has been but little And what, in those days of trial and coming death, was worked, and of some of those who have given most attenKeats's creed?

"I wish to believe in immortality-lication of the Grampian Club, Genealogical Memoirs of I wish to live with you for ever." I appeal to you by the blood of that Christ you believe in." These passages Mr. Forman (by an "elegant peiwotc," we suppose) calls "shifting from the moorings of orthodoxy." Well, we will draw the veil here, and say one last word as to the book in its commoner aspects. It is, we believe, all new to the public, except that about twenty lines from the letters are quoted by Lord Houghton in the memoir prefixed to the Aldine edition of Keats, 1876, and except a short passage from Letter 17 (p. 57) which appears in the memoir of Mr. Dilke prefixed to The Papers of a Critic. The readers of "N. & Q." may be reminded that several other letters and fragments of or about Keats have appeared of late years in the Athenæum and elsewhere.

The Plays and Poems of William Shakespeare, with the
Purest Text and the Briefest Notes. Edited by J. Payne
Collier. 8 volumes. (Privately printed for the Sub-
scribers.)

CRITICISM on a work printed only for private circulation
would be out of place; but there are two or three points of
great curiosity and interest about this book which call for
notice in "N. & Q." An edition of Shakspeare in eight
4to. volumes, limited to fifty-eight copies, is, and will pro-
bably long remain, unique; and an edition of Shakspeare
brought out by one who commenced his study of the
poet before he was nineteen, and continued that study
until, in his ninetieth year, he gives to his friends the
result of that long continued deliberation, is a fact which
will long remain without a parallel in Shakspearian
literature. One whose good fortune it has been to have
enjoyed the friendship of John Payne Collier for the last
forty years hopes he may be permitted to call attention
to this last labour of love on his part, and to congratulate
him on having been permitted thus to crown the arch
of his long, zealous, and devoted study of Shakspeare.

MR. JOSEPH BROWN, Q.C., has been moved to deliver his testimony on Eastern Christianity and the War (Edward Stanford) in language which amounts to a strong indictment of a form of Christianity evidently very foreign to the ecclesiastical sympathies of the learned author. It appears to us that the shade of Knox is hardly the most suitable ghost to evoke to decide upon the "gross superstitions of the Greek Church." But we certainly hope, with the learned writer, that "the friends of humanity and civilization would feel greatly relieved if their country could rid itself of any partnership with a despotism which is a curse to so many millions of men."-Lieut. Charles Worthy, late of H.M. 82nd Regiment, publishes some useful contributions to the history of Devonshire and its worthies in two separate pamphlets, A Memoir of Bishop Stapledon and a History of the Manor and Church of Winkleigh (Plymouth, W. Brendon). But we should have been glad of evidence, which Lieut. Worthy does not furnish, to convince us of the fact in genealogy which he assumes in his account of Winkleigh, that the modern Gidleys are the descendants and representatives of the medieval De Gidleys,

the Family of Robert Burns and of the Scottish House of Burnes, edited by the Rev. Charles Rogers, LL.D. (Edinburgh, William Paterson), we must object in limine that there is no "Scottish House of Burnes." The doubtless respectable, but certainly not armigerous, and utmost that Dr. Rogers has to tell us is of tenant farmers, as certainly not baronial. This is the more to be regretted since we should be the last to dispute either the fame of the great poet of the Lowland Scots tongue or the good service in India of his distinguished kinsman Sir Alexander Burnes, "linguist, diplomatist, and traveller.”
