_Gibbon's Library_ (Vol. vii., p. 407.)--_West's Portrait of Franklin_
(Vol. vii., p. 409.).--Gibbon's library was sold at Lausanne in 1833. I
have a copy of _Le Théâtre de Marivaux_, four volumes 12mo. (Amst. et à
Leipzig, 1756), which contains the following MS. note on the fly-leaf
of the first volume: "Gibbon's copy, bought at the sale of his library
at Lausanne, Sept. 1833.--JOHN WORDSWORTH." You will find a reference
to this gentleman, "N. & Q.," Vol. v., p. 604. About four hundred of
Gibbon's books were in the library of the late Rev. Samuel Farmar Jarvis,
of Connecticut, who bought them at Lausanne. Among them was Casiri,
_Bibliotheca Arabico-Hispania_. Some of these books had his name, E.
GIBBON, printed in them in Roman letters; others had his coat of arms.
Dr. Jarvis's library was sold by Lyman and Rawdon in New York on the
14th of October, 1851, for very good prices. I possess Gibbon's copy of
Herrera's _America_, in English, 6 vols. 8vo.
I think there must be some mistake about the portrait of Dr. Franklin by
West, mentioned by {209} your correspondent H. G. D. I have never heard
of but _one_ portrait by West of Dr. Franklin, and that was painted for
my grandfather, Mr. Edward Duffield, one of the executors of the Doctor's
will, and sent to him by the Doctor himself. It is now in my possession,
in excellent preservation. A short notice of it will be found in the
ninth volume of Franklin's _Writings_ (Sparks's ed.), p. 493.

_Derivation of "Island"_ (Vol. viii., p. 49.).--H. C. K.'s derivation
of _island_ from _eye_, the visual orb, because each are surrounded by
water, seems to me so like a banter on etymologists, that I am doubtful
whether I ought to notice it; but as our Editor seems, by the space he
has given it, to take it as serious, I shall venture to say two or three
words upon it. H. C. K. begins by begging the question: he says that "the
etymon from the Fr. _isle_, It. _isola_, Lat. _insula_, is _manifestly
erroneous_." Now I think I can prove--and that by a single word--that
it is "manifestly" the true one. I only reverse his order of placing
these words; they should stand, the mother first, the children after;
_insula_ Lat., _isola_ It., _isle_ Fr., and to them I add my _single
word_, which H. C. K. has chosen to ignore altogether, _isle_ English;
as, _Isle_ of Wight, _Isle_ of Man, _Isle_ of Thanet, _Isles_ of Arran,
&c. This single word, thus supplied, is to my mind a sufficient answer
to H. C. K.'s theory, but I may add, as a corroboration, the peculiarity
of retaining in _spelling_, and dropping in _pronunciation_, the _s_ in
the English _isle_ and _island_, just as it is in the French _isle_ and
_islot_. Indeed the relation between the French and English words is,
in this case, not _derivation_ but _identity_. I may also observe that
the Scotch and Irish names for an island, _inch_, _innis_, _ennis_--as,
_Inch_-keith, _Innis_-fallen, _Ennis_-killen--are "manifestly" derived
from _insula_, the common parent of all. I half suspect that H. C. K. is
a wag, and meant to try whether we should take seriously what he meant as
_all my eye_!
C.
_Spur_ (Vol. vi., pp. 242. 329.).--To _spur_ is to _spere_, by
Gower written _sper_, to search or seek, to inquire into; and your
correspondents might have found the word fully treated and illustrated by
Jamieson, and more briefly by Richardson. To _ask_ at church is a common
expression, and _Spur_ Sunday is merely _Asking_ Sunday.
Q.
Bloomsbury.
_On the Use of the Hour-glass in Pulpits_ (Vol. vii., p. 489. Vol. viii.,
p. 82.).--The complete iron framework of an hour-glass remained affixed
to the pulpit of Shelsley Beauchamp Church, Worcestershire, until the
restoration of the church, about eight years ago, by the present rector,
the Rev. D. Melville, who carefully preserved the hour-glass relic. In
order to show how much had been done for the church, I drew interior
and exterior views of the old building, with its great dilapidations
and unusually monstrous disfigurements, which drawings were hung in
the vestry, at the suggestion of the rector, as parish memorials; a
proceeding which I think might be copied with advantage in all cases of
church restoration. In the one drawing mentioned the hour-glass stand is
a conspicuous object.
CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A.
The following extract is from a tract published by the Cambridge Camden
Society, entitled _A few hints on the Practical Study of Ecclesiastical
Antiquities_:
"_Hour-glass Stand._ A relick of Puritanick times. They are
not very uncommon; they generally stand on the right-hand of
the pulpit, and are made of iron. Examples Coton, Shepreth. A
curious revolving one occurs at Stoke D'Abernon, Surrey, and in
St. John Baptist, Bristol, where the hour-glass itself remains.
Though a Puritanick innovation, it long kept its place: for Gay
in his _Pastorals_ writes:
'He said that Heaven would take her soul no doubt,
And spoke the _hour-glass_ in her praise quite out:'
and it is depicted by the side of a pulpit in one of Hogarth's
paintings."
I saw, a few weeks ago, an iron hour-glass stand affixed to the pulpit in
Odell Church, Beds.

_Selling a Wife_ (Vol. vii., pp. 429. 602.).--There can be no question
that this offence is an indictable misdemeanor. I made, at the time, a
memorandum of the following case:
"West Riding Yorkshire Sessions, June 28, 1837. Joshua Jackson,
convicted of selling his wife, imprisoned for one month with
hard labour."

_Impossibilities of History_ (Vol. viii., p. 72.).--St. Bernard,
according to Gibbon, lived from 1091 to 1153. Henry I., who did rebel
against his father, was twelve years older than the Saint, and ascended
the throne at the age of twenty-one in the year 1100, when the Saint
was nine years old. The descent from the devil alludes, I should think,
to Robert le Diable, the father of the Conqueror. The historian of _The
Tablet_ found the authority most probably in some theatrical review or
fly-leaf of the libretto.
J. H. L.
{210}
_Lad and Lass_ (Vol. vii., p. 56.).--_Lass_, Hickes (quoted by Lye in
Junius) says, was originally written, and is a corruption of _laddess_;
thus, we may suppose _laddess_, _ladse_, _lass_: and _lad_ may correlate
with the Gr. ἀγωγὸς, a leader, so familiar to us in the sneered at
pæd-_agogue_, _i. e._ the boy-_leader_. The _lad_, from the Anglo-Saxon
_lædian_, to lead (says Junius), is the _leăd_--"One who, on account of
his tender years, is under a _leader_, a guide, a director."
We apply the common expression "He is yet in _leading_ strings" to him
who has not strength or courage to go alone, to act independently for
himself.
Q.
Bloomsbury.
_Enough_ (Vol. vii., p. 455.).--Enough was not, and is not always, nor
was it originally, pronounced _enuf_. The old way of writing was "ynou,
inouh, ynowgh;" and in Gower, _enough_ is made to rhyme with _slough_,
i. e. _slow_ or _slew_, the past tense of _slay_. MR. WRIGHT will find
this to be so by looking into Richardson's quotations. The word, he will
see also, was from very early times written, as still not unfrequently
pronounced, _enew_ or _enow_.

shall appear as soon as he has given us such reference._
C. M. I. _will see that his wish has been complied with. The others we
hope soon. We have not inserted his Note respecting a certain learned
Professor, who, we think we can assure_ C. M. I., _does not belong to the
sect which he mentions._

opportunity._
S. L. P. _Clarke's_ Heraldry, _a small volume published by Routledge, and
Porny's_ Heraldry, _which may be picked up for a few shillings, would
probably furnish what our Correspondent desires._
R. W. E._'s offer of the MS. Notes on Shakspeare are declined with
thanks, on the grounds stated by our Correspondent, viz. that "they are
not calculated to afford much assistance towards the elucidation of
difficult passages."_
J. C. E., _who writes respecting Milton's_ Lycidas, _is requested to
favour us with a full communication on the subject._

_Dr. Wurzer's Testimonial._
"Bonn, July 19. 1852.
"This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent,
nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many
cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in
confined habit of body, as also diarrhœa, bowel complaints,
affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel;
inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of
the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemorrhoids. This
really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory
result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, where
irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary
and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually
the troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth
to express the conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica
is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and
consumption.

SOME ACCOUNT of DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND, from the Conquest
to the end of the thirteenth Century, with numerous Illustrations of
Existing Remains from Original Drawings. By T. HUDSON TURNER.
"What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has
done for oil-painting--elucidated its history and traced its progress
in England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the
successive Sovereigns of the realm--Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved
for Domestic Architecture in this country during the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries."--_Architect._
"The writer of the present volume ranks among the most intelligent of the
craft, and a careful perusal of its contents will convince the reader
of the enormous amount of labour bestowed on its minutest details,
as well as the discriminating judgment presiding over the general
arrangement."--_Morning Chronicle._
"The book of which the title is given above is one of the very few
attempts that have been made in this country to treat this interesting
subject in anything more than a superficial manner.
