of consecration of a church by Bp. Andrews." Curiously no size is given, although all the other books advertised with it have their sizes quoted. GEO. CLULOW.

GATTIN (7th S. iv. 204).—The survival of gattin in England, applied in the case cited to a certain small copse near Hastings, must be regarded as a very interesting fact; but a safer etymology than the suggested Celtic one is given by Scheler (Auguste) in his 'Dict. d'Etymologie Française, ed. 1873. Under the word "Gâter" Schéler

says:

"In Old French there is an adjective guaste, meaning 'untilled,' 'solitary,' 'in bad condition,' equivalent to the Italian guasto and the Portuguese gasto, from the Latin vastus. The ancient form of the verb, however, viz., gastir, the root of the substantive guastine, gastine, meaning a glade or open space in a wood,' 'a desert,' untilled land, moorland' (with which we may compare the Flemish waestyne, woestyne), argues a direct derivation from the Old High German word wastjan, which has the same meaning."

It is, of course, unnecessary to dwell upon so familiar a fact as the dropping out of s from many French words, and the modern use of the circumflex accent to indicate this. With reference to the change of w into g, I will not venture upon the subject of phonological laws, but confine myself to giving one illustration of their action. I well remember that my worthy friend of many years ago, Don Manuel V-- B- from South America, could never quite succeed (perhaps because he was too old) in saying "Wardour." He made efforts to do so, but the general result was "Gardour." To most readers of 'N. & Q.' also it may be superfluous to point out the etymological identity of ward and guard, warranty and guarantee, the English war and the French guerre, the English warren and French garenne. I add a less familiar example, one that appears to have escaped the notice of Prof. Skeat to warn and to garnish, the latter, in this instance, being a law term, meaning "to warn, to give notice."

Our English word waste is variously defined as "a desolate or uncultivated country"; "land untilled, though capable of tillage"; and "those lands which are not in any man's occupation, but

lie common." Prof. Skeat draws it from the Old French wast, derived from the Old High German waste, and adds the remark, "borrowed from the Latin uastus." He continues :

"It is remarkable that we also find an Anglo-Saxon wéste, and Old High German wuosti, meaning waste.' These forms are not borrowed from Latin, but are cognate. (Aryan type, WASTA; root unknown)" (Concise Etymological Dict.,' by Walter W. Skeat, 1882).

In this final root unknown" we seem to run waste and gattin to earth, and there we may let them rest. On intermediate stages, however, in the history of the word Ducange's Latin glossary may be profitably consulted. Ducange gives

vastum, gastum, guastum, wastum, gastina, was
tina, &c., with the meanings of untilled wild land
or waste; and Dom Carpentier adds an example
of the French derivative in "Qui porroit saoler
of the passage,
ceste gent en ceste gastine?"—a preacher's variant
"From whence can a man satisfy
these men with bread here in the wilderness?"
(St. Mark viii. 4).

wastina, &c., as meaning a spot within a wood,
In relation to woods, Ducange explains wasta,
but on which no trees are found; a place that
"planum est, seu absque arboribus"; "terra
""
nemore vacua." This is the same, in fact, as
Schéler's clairière, a clear space or glade, or what
used to be called in England a "laund.”

The transition from the meaning of "desert" in
general to "a spot bare of trees" in a wood is
natural enough; but how the English gattin in the
individual case cited comes to mean the wood
itself is, perhaps, not quite equally clear, though
not hard to understand; or there may possibly be
some defect in the late Miss Costello's description
of the gattin or
"copse" in question. Readers
may be able to throw light upon the subject by
giving other examples of the English use of the
word, in Sussex or elsewhere. There is a town-
ship named Gattin near Church Stretton, in Shrop-

shire.

JOHN W. BONE, F.S.A.

In the 'Shropshire Gazetteer' I find, “Gatton, a Township in the parish of Ratlinghope, and in the hundred of Ford, 5 miles N.W. of Church Stretton." This township contains Gatten (sic) Lodge, Further Gatten, and Gatten. Gatten Wood is also marked on the Ordnance Map. As this place is on the Welsh border, the word gatten is possibly of Welsh or Celtic origin.

I venture to doubt whether Miss Costello correctly understood the reply given to her at Hastings, "to pass by a gattin," i. e., a copse. have never heard the word, or found it amongst Sussex field or place names, and suspect (as she was in the fields) that she was told to pass a gratten (i. e., a stubble-field, Fr. gratter). Sussex peasants are very indistinct in their speech.

NOTES ON BOOKS, &o.

Reginald Pole, Cardinal Archbishop of Canterbury: an Historical Sketch. By Frederick George Lee, D.D. (Nimmo.)

66

DR. LEE has written an interesting and instructive book, but it is in no sort a life of the great Cardinal. It is modestly called a sketch" only, so we have, perhaps, no ground for finding fault. Knowing, however, as we do, the immense mass of letters and other documents which might be made to illustrate the Cardinal's life, we cannot but be sorry that one who is in some ways so well qualified to use them should have preferred to write a merely popular book. We do not tread the thorny paths of religious controversy, and therefore much of what Dr. Lee says must be passed over in silence. He is of opinion that the Reformation was a mistake, and readers of his book, to have any pleasure therein, must, for the time at least, look at things from his point of view. If they do so they will find the leading facts of Pole's life, so far as they regard England and the restoration of the Roman Catholic religion under Mary, carefully stated, though sometimes an asperity of language is used which can serve no good purpose. It is better to smite our enemies with a rapier than a bludgeon. Few Englishmen know more of the writers of the sixteenth century than Dr. Lee. It is a pity that his studies in that almost forgotten literature should have led him to reproduce some of the least amiable speech-forms that occur therein. The legitimacy of Queen Elizabeth is a question on which Catholics and Protestants are not likely to agree, for there are fundamental differences between them as to marriage; but whatever opinion Dr. Lee holds on this controverted question, it is not wise, when he is called upon to speak of her at a time before she became queen, to call her Elizabeth Boleyn.

The volume contains what seems to be a complete list of Pole's published works, and a catalogue of his painted and engraved portraits, which, if not complete, will be of much service to future inquirers.

Hastings, Lewes, Rye, and the Sussex Marshes. By C. P. (Bell & Sons.)

BEFORE We read this little tract we thought that it was a guide-book; further examination, however, convinced us of our mistake. Guide-books we have in plenty-a few of them meritorious compilations, the greater number merely the outcome of scissors and paste-pot. C. P. has, it would seem, had no desire to direct sightseers, or to cram jaded minds requiring rest with facts and dates. He is one of those who love quiet old towns, where progress has not blossomed forth into villas, and where things may be seen and dreamily pondered over which carry the mind back to times before railways, postcards, and political agitators of the vulgar sort now common. Lewes, with its memories of battle and patriotism, Winchelsea and Rye, which tell of mercantile adventure of a sort different from that which has made Liverpool and Glasgow famous, are attractive to him; but, above all, he loves the Sussex Marshes. Our ears are so stunned with the praises of mountains that it is quite refreshing to meet with any one who knows that there can be beauty where there has not been violent disruption of the strata. We would not depreciate Auvergne, or even the Andes, but it is delightful to be able to quote an author who has the courage to say that the Essex Marshes abound with "the peaceful and touching charms which render the plain more than a rival to the mountain in the eyes of all who find in human associations......the ground of the

truest beauty in landscape." The infinite repose which we have felt among the pastures of the Netherlands or in the poplar-shaded fields of Belgium may be enjoyed in equal perfection in Sussex. It has always been a what is to be found almost at their own doors. matter of wonder to us that so many fly over sea for

Great Writers.-Life of Charlotte Brontë. By Augustine Birrell. (Scott.)

The

MR. BIRRELL himself says that "the life of Charlotte Brontë has been written once for all by Mrs. Gaskell," and he can scarcely expect that the volume before us will in any way take the place of that exhaustive analysis of the life and writings of the great Yorkshire author. But a compressed biography of Charlotte Brontë was certainly needed, and we must praise Mr. Birrell for the Moreover, manner in which he has done his work. there is new matter to be found in it relating to Miss Brontë's father before he settled in Yorkshire. story of his early love for Mary Burder is now, so far as we know, given to the world for the first time. People who are interested in the subject of the suffering undergone by children at school during the end of the last century and the beginning of the present one should read the note at the end of the first chapter of this book, p. 27, giving an account of the kind of place Mary Burder was sent to dwell at when only five years old. Her brothers also seem to have been very unfortunate in the place of learning chosen for them.

Mr. Birrell is an ardent admirer of the genius of Charlotte Brontë; but in our opinion he scarcely does justice to Shirley.' We cannot agree with him when he says that "the story as a story is not interesting." Had it been written by any one save the author of 'Jane Eyre' it would have brought to the writer a great reputation. As it is, we are so dazzled by the light from that wonderful creation that we are in danger of not seeing clearly enough the delicate touches in the story which followed it.

Why did Mr. Birrell add the last chapter? We should have thought the story of a sad life would have had a The index is more fitting end had he left it out. remarkably good.

THESE Transactions always contain matter of permanent value. The part before us is no exception to the rule. In a scientific journal we require facts, not fine writing. Almost all the articles are short, which is an advantage. An engraving and some notes are given of an extraordinary ring found near Lanercost. precious metal, and cannot have been made for a signet. The shape of the shield induces us to believe that it is not later than 1300. The arms are a double-tailed rampant lion. This bearing belonged to several families, and We are inclined to think that it is a mortuary ring, therefore its owner cannot be identified with certainty. intended to be buried with the dead. Mr. Whitehead's account of the 'Church Bells of Cumberland' is a very useful contribution. It is the second paper of the kind which he has contributed to these Transactions. It Cumberland, but those of latter centuries are well worthy would appear that there are few mediæval bells in of note. The churchwardens' accounts of Kendal are late as 1674, for in that year there is a charge for interesting. Incense must have been in use there as repairing the censers.

Weather: a Popular Exposition of the Nature of Weather Changes from Day to Day. By the Hon. Ralph Abercromby, F.R. M.S., &c.

WE are all concerned in the subject of the weather; and it is undoubtedly a matter of great interest to

trace the nature of the causes which produce the frequent weather changes which are noticed in a climate such as our own. The volume before us (which forms one of the "International Scientific Series ") sets these forth in a particularly lucid manner. Nor is it a mere compilation of existing knowledge, for the results of many of the author's original and unpublished researches are included in its pages. Explanations are also given of the sources of ordinary popular prognostics of the weather; why these sometimes fail; why, also, forecasts derived from the motion of the barometer at any station sometimes are erroneous; and the methods by which greater approach to certainty can be obtained by the use of synoptic charts at a central office, though even these must occasionally fail.

The Encyclopaedic Dictionary. (Cassell & Co.)

·

Vol. VI. Part II.

THE volume issue of the Encyclopaedic Dictionary' (not to be confounded with the issue in monthly parts) is approaching completion, the second part of the sixth volume carrying the alphabet from "Shoe" to "Tartuffism." To the value of the book as a work of reference we have borne continuous testimony, and the constant allusions to it in our pages show what hold it has taken upon the public. It is not wholly new to regard a dictionary as a book to be read for entertainment. A man, however, may spend an unoccupied hour worse than in reading the more scientific essays in this volume. The student, at least, of botany, zoology, astronomy, &c., will find much to interest as well as to benefit, and the illustrations to special words will add greatly to his ad

vantage. Readers of belles lettres even may gain. What reader of Mr. Swinburne will not be thankful for the illustration of the 'Sun-dew,' which forms the subject of one of Mr. Swinburne's most tender poems?

The Magazine of Art, 1887. (Cassell & Co.) ONE more volume of the Magazine of Art appears with the customary wealth and variety of contents. From the earliest products of medieval schools to the Royal Academy and the Salon of this year, the growth of art is illustrated in the goodly and capacious volume. Many pictures of highest interest by Palma Vecchio, Turner, and other artists, old and new, are reproduced in fullsize engravings. Spots of historical or general interestTewkesbury and Farnley Hall, with its Turner associations-are illustrated. The whole is, indeed, a treasurehouse of beauty. With the beginning of the present volume a new feature is inaugurated in the issue with each monthly part of an etching, photogravure, or steel plate. The execution of the plates is remarkable. An illustration such as that of Mr. Pettie's Two Strings to his Bow' is sufficient to popularize the volume.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.—

Colds, Coughs, Shortness of Breath.-These maladies require early and unremitting attention, for if neglected they often end in asthma, bronchitis, or consumption. The Ointment well rubbed upon the chest and back, penetrating the skin, is absorbed and carried directly to the lungs, whence it expels all impurities. All the blood in the body is perpetually passing through the lungs, and there all noxious particles tending to disease can be quickly, thoroughly, and permanently neutralized, rendered harmless, or ejected from the system. Holloway's Ointment and Pills perfectly accomplish this purification; and through the blood thus cleansed the influence of these wonderful medicaments reaches the remotest part of the human body, and thus cures all diseased action, whether internal external.
