    Notes: In the series of papers on “Domestic Every-day Life, and Manners and Customs in the Ancient World,” which I have had the pleasure of reading before this Society, I endeavoured to afford an insight into the mode of living among the people of the nations of old, more especially the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Jews, commencing with those of which we have the earliest authentic records, and carrying the account down to the period when Roman civilization arrived at the highest state of perfection which it ever reached. I described to you “the style of dress of the people, their cities and houses, the furniture which they used, their mode of taking their meals, their different kinds of amusements, their method of travelling both by land and water, their professional and commercial pursuits and occupations, their arts and manufactures, their way of carrying on war, their religious rites and ceremonies, and their funeral solemnities.” In affording this account I availed myself of the records of various kinds which the people of these several nations have left behind them, including not only the productions of their historians, but the various national monuments which yet remain, the works of art that have been preserved, the relics of ornaments and articles of domestic use that have been discovered, and the relics of their cities and buildings which have survived the shocks of time.

    Passages in the Life and Reign of Harold, the Last of the Saxon Kings (1877)

    Notes: There is a singular story accompanying the eventful life of Godwine, the father of Harold, which is given by Mr. Freeman as gathered from the “half-mythical” chronicles of Ralph the Black, a writer who flourished early in the thirteenth century. He tells us how Cnut in a jealous fit sent Godwine to Denmark with letters, requesting those officials to whom they were addressed to cut off the bearer's head; but Godwine was too shrewd for his master, and like the “messenger of Pausanias” read the letter by the way—“expalluit novus Urias” which let him into the light of the awful secret. The legend goes on to show how, naturally enough, he recovered himself, and cleverly substituted other letters, which bore a different burden, directing the Danes to show great kindness to him, as he was a regent, and to give him the king's sister in marriage. The scheme appeared to answer, for all was satisfactorily carried out; and Cnut is said to have put the best face upon the matter; he received Godwine as a brother, and gave him the rank of “consul.”t A writer of the eleventh century speaks very contemptuously of Godwine and his family, prompted probably by his great dislike to Harold, i.e., “The numerous progeny of Earl Godwine was daily waxing stronger and stronger upon the earth.”

    Notes: We commonly speak of America as “the New World,” and deem its grand scenery a negative illustration of the truth that human association is an essential quality in our enjoyment of natural loveliness. And the fact that we discover Longfellow at Bruges, Washington Irving “within bounds ” at the Charterhouse, Motley at Dresden, and Prescott at Madrid, gives colour to this impression of prevailing novelty. But for all that, the threads of history are woven rapidly on that continent as elsewhere, and the tapestry record—the warp and woof of life—is unfolded, with its enigmas and its dramatic characters and situations, forthe student's unravelling or enjoyment. There is in that New World an aristocracy that is not parvenu, and territory that is not lacking in the venerable qualities of a grand history. The discovery of the St. Lawrence river by Jacques Cartier, the counterpart in feature and in energy of our own Sir Francis Drake, his sojourn at theIndian villages of Stadacona and Hochelaga, the modern Quebec and Montreal, and his erection of a huge cross instead of an ensign on the shores of Gaspé, in claiming the future New France for Christ and the king, are as much an old-time story as that of the Spanish Armada and the game of bowls on Plymouth Hoe. From the Atlantic to the Ohio, and from Virginia to the great lakes, the land is rich in history and fruitful of romance. The exile from Grandpr£ and Port Royal, and the scattering of the Acadian families over the States of Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, and Virginia, are full. of heart-break to us who read the story even now, whether we gather it from the page of history or from the poetic setting of “Evangeline ”; and the associations of Forefathers Rock and the Puritan graveyard, ” beautiful for situation,” at New Plymouth, together with the quaint laws and customs which prevailed in that new England town, must be of interest to English-speaking people the wide world over.

    Notes: It is often the province of the historian to trace the progress of small states, and observe their gradual transformation into large ones. It often also devolves upon him to notice the decay of large states and their gradual reduction to insignificant principalities, if not their total annihilation. The growth of the margravate of Brandenburg into the mighty kingdom of Prussia, and finally into the great German Empire of the pre-sent day, is a remarkable instance of the former; while the dissolution of the great duchy of Burgundy and its gradual absorption is one of the latter, although some portion of it has reconstituted itself in the small but prosperous kingdom of Belgium. But what I propose to bring before the Society falls under neither of these heads, but is the brief history of a power which might have had a career like that of Brandenburg or Austria, but the course of which was simply cut short by the failure of its dynasty in the very meridian of success and prosperity.

    Notes: It may be remembered (and I am especially induced to hope that it is so, now that the new volume of Transactions is in the hands of the members) that, on the last occasion at which I had the honour to address you, I mentioned, though I fear too cursorily, some of the necessary considerations due to an inquiry into the origin of monarchical, or, rather it should be termed, personal sovereignty. Speaking roughly, I stated that the origin of society, the origin of law, and the origin of religion, seemed to coalesce into the origin of government.

    Notes: The Book of Generations, in chap. x. of Genesis, states that Canaan was a son of Ham, and consequently brother of Cush, of Mizraim, and of Phut. This is given again in the First Book of Chronicles, chap, i., ver. 8. Cush (Gen. x. 10) held Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. The verse says: “And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech,” etc. Again, verse 11 says: “Out of that land went forth Asshur and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; the same is a great city.” Asshur (verse 22) was a son of Shem. Cush, therefore, was considered to be a dweller in Babylonia, and not in Africa. This is consistent with Havilah, son of Cush, being Havilah, chap, ii., ver. 11. Of the rivers of Eden, “the name of the first is Pison, that is it which encompasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.” Khavilah has been well conjectured to be Kholkis or Colchis, and the river the Pshani, which, as I have pointed out in the Georgian languages, still means a river.

    Notes: In my former paper I endeavoured to describe the condition of the people at the earliest period with which we are acquainted, and the effect, upon their civilisation produced by the Roman invasion, through the intercourse consequently established between Great Britain and Rome, at that time the grand centre and source of art and civilisation. The darkest period in our national history has now been passed through. Two causes mainly appear to me, in the first instance, to further the progress of civilisation among a people: The intercourse of a barbarous nation with foreigners who are more civilised than the former; The growing intelligence of the natives them-selves, whose capacities are thus stimulated, and their energies roused. Many other causes, no doubt, contribute in turn to the further advancement and development of civilisation, such as the institutions which spring up, and the pursuits that are followed, in any nation. Nevertheless, these two main causes to which I have particularly alluded, appear to me to be the primary elements, and are what first contribute to set the machine in motion.

    Notes: The early history of Denmark may be divided into two portions. For the first we have as materials only the native sagas and legends, which have been preserved for us by Saxo Grammaticus and others. The second portion, which covers a period when Denmark had entered into relations, sometimes hostile and sometimes diplomatic, with the great Frankish empire to the south, is illustrated by occasional notices in the contemporary monastic annals. These notices are of course of the highest value and interest. It seems clear that, if we are ever to glean any profitable materials about the earlier period, we must first gain a firm foothold upon the later, where we can check tradition by contemporary narrative; and I now propose to re–examine the history of the Danes from the time when they first appear in the Frankish chronicles, down to the death of their famous King Godfred.

    Notes: It would be an easy task, and perhaps a not uninteresting one, to draw a picture of what Lancashire may be supposed to have been during the reign of Queen Elizabeth—its large forests, its trackless mosses, its many-gabled, moated, timber halls, and its old grey churches, would all form an admirable background to a stage upon which the persecuted Catholic gentry, the almost equally persecuted Puritan, the honest old yeoman and his comely dame, the hard-working husbandman, and the “sturdy beggar,” might be made to act their parts; but this would not be history, and may therefore be left to the hands of the romancer and the novelist.

    Notes: It appears from the writings of Eusebius, Basil, Jerome, and Augustine, that libraries were at a very early period attached to various ecclesiastical establishments; and that these libraries were chiefly composed of liturgical and other service books, together with manuscript copies of the Scriptures (in the original language), homilies, catechisms, psalters, and other similar works. Many of these works were of great value and importance, especially those belonging to the Oriental churches. And to some of these early houses of worship were attached separate buildings for libraries and schools.

    Notes: From the commencement of the reign of Queen Elizabeth down to the middle of the last century, several members of the Foxe family, descendants of the great martyrologist, resided in the parish of Waltham Holy Cross. And it is asserted by several local writers that the justly celebrated John Foxe himself resided in this ancient town, where he uninterruptedly pursued his literary labours during the early part of the latter half of the sixteenth century. Tradition even points to the house in “Sun Street,” then called “East Street” in which he compiled the “Book of Martyrs.” Some have supposed that John Foxe visited the house of Mr. Cressey in the Romeland with Stephen Gardner and Henry the Eighth to consult about the king's divorce from Catherine of Arragon, but that is a mistake which the writer has pleasure in correcting. It was Dr. Edward Fox (afterwards Bishop of Hereford) that figured in that scene, and not the martyrologist.

    Notes: “Generalizations drawn from particulars are the jewels of knowledge, comprehending great store in a little room,” says the immortal Locke. The more I see of our learned societies, the more I study the curricula of our different schools and educational establishments, the more thoroughly am I convinced that we persistently neglect the study of general history from a higher and a philosophical point of view; in fact, we appear scarcely to have attained the faculty to distinguish between geography, archology, genealogy, biography, ethnology, chronicles, heraldry, statistical reports, numismatics, and extracts from registers. We call everything that has happened history, and consider an old civic record, as devoid of influence on the destinies of humanity as the name, age, occupation, and domestic relations of one of the mummies under a glass case in our British Museum, an historical document of value. We are apt to confuse the task of the antiquary or of a contributor to Notes and Queries with that of the historian.

    Notes: A belief in his divine right, with the acceptance of Archbishop Laud's doctrine that the concomitant of religious unity was uniformity in worship, led Charles I. to provoke those hostilities which brought him to the scaffold. At the Reformation the Scottish Church adopted the Genevan system of government, which dispensed with bishops and a liturgy. Upon it James VI. ingrafted a modified episcopacy, and Charles determined to complete its uniformity with the Anglican establishment by forcing on it canons and a liturgy.

    Notes: [Auszug] THE remarks of Sir John Lubbock in a late lecture on the relation of insects and flowers leads to the inference that in his opinion the brilliancy of colour rather than the odour is the attraction. My observations lead me to suppose that it is not the colour, but the particular odour of each ...
