The Baron August Edward von Druffel, of Münster, Westphalia, has kindly sent for my inspection a MS. vellum Prayer Book (the Hora B. V., &c.) of the fifteenth century that was formerly a heirloom in the family of Sir Thomas More. The book itself is not very remarkable. The illuminations, which are numerous, are but third rate. The workmanship, I am assured by Mr. Weale, the librarian of the South Kensington Museum, is English of about 1490; the binding also is English. The interest lies in the family entries, which I have transcribed accurately, so far as they can be deciphered. Several are in the hand writing of John More, the son of Sir Thomas. The lines in which the Chancellor himself is recorded as godfather to his eldest grandson are very probably, in the opinion of Mr. James Gairdner, of the Record Office, the autograph of Sir Thomas More. It does not seem to be known when the book was carried into Germany. At the end of the book : Thomas More was borne the viijth day of August in the xxiijth yere of or souerayne lorde the King Henry the viijth the Date of or lorde x.VCXXXJ, which day was saynte Seryans day* on a twsday at xij of the cloke that * It is the feast of St. Ciriacus.

In these entries there are some expressions worth noting. "Palm-sunday week" for Holy Week is show one unusual. The numerals "xxiit," xxxit,' that this was read "two-and-twentieth," " and - thirtieth," not "twenty-second," "thirtyfirst." St. Lawrence's "yuyns yuyn" (i. e., " even's even") means the day before the vigil of St. Lawrence. T. E. BRIDgett. SHAKSPEARIANA. 'ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL,' I. ii. 35, 36). The Globe editors mark the text here as corrupt. Would it remove the difficulty if 1. 35 were made an Alexandrine by placing so (which is not necessary to qualify like) at the end of it? By doing this the contrast between the old breeding and the new that the king is insisting on would be emphasized : But they may jest Till their own scorn return to them unnoted In reading this it is necessary to dwell on the second syllable of courtier, as in 'Antony and Cleopatra,' II. vi. 17:— With the arm'd rest, courtiers of beauteous freedom, and Heywood's ' Golden Age,' IV. i. 23 : Of these we next must speak. Courteous and wise. Our old Lings and our Isbels o' the country are nothing like your old Ling and your Isbels o' the court. So the First Folio reads; the second has ling in both places, which is the reading still followed. Ling, the sea fish, is not spoken of elsewhere by Shakespeare, and it seems to be quite out of place here. As the Clown has just finished talking about singing, I would suggest that a misprint has arisen through the s of songs having been mistaken by a transcriber or compositor for an . In this case the second old may be a slip for new, for some antithesis seems to be wanting, and, besides, Shakespeare did not associate his courts with either old fashions or old songs. IV. ii. 38.—Mr. Evans, in his note (Irving ed.) on this passage says:— "All that can be affirmed with any confidence is that the words 'That we'll forsake ourselves' are intended to convey Diana's pretended surrender to the proposals of Bertram, and that the previous line must have given some sort of reason or excuse for such apparent weak ness." Supposing this to be the purport of her speech, should not the subordinate sentence be in the preline below. Taking ropes to be a misprint for hopes, sent tense? The ll might be caught up from the the passage might then read (though it cannot be put forward as a recovery of the original text):— I see that men wake hopes of such a price That we forsake ourselves, the word price being echoed in V. iii. 188. But Diana may only be "pretending to half-surrender," and by men make hopes " she may be alluding to Bertram's hopes, not to her own. From this point of view, would it give a satisfactory meaning to read I see that men make hopes in such a parle The word parle follows the run of the letters to He blushes, and 'tis hit. Is there any reason why Capell's emendation it should be preferred to Mr. Henley's fit? It is just as probable that h is a wrong letter as that it is a redundant one, and the old form of it had passed out of use before Shakespeare's time. The ring was shown to the countess, and she would recognize it without any blushing on Bertram's part. Mr. Henley's reading, which makes her in one quick phrase express both grief and indignation at her son's conduct, gives much more dramatic force to the incident than Capell's commonplace one does. The countess does not speak again during the scene. G. JOICEY. 28.

Extract from First Folio, 1623. The part of the above sentence after the colon in 1. 25 was pronounced by Bishop Warburton to be nonsense-and many others before and since his time have considered it to be very little better-as it stands. Accordingly, all kinds of alterations have been proposed, the conjecture of the scholarly prelate himself being, perhaps, the most absurd among them. A dead set was made at the word "investing," which begins 1. 26. Warburton changed it to "invest in," Hamner to "in wasted," Heath to "in fasting," and Staunton to "infective," while 1. 26 has been subjected to as many |
