III.-VICAR OF WAKEFIELD Page 48, line 26.—After, “Michaelmas eve happening on the next day, we were invited to burn nuts and play tricks at neighbour Flamborough's: our honest neighbour's goose and dumplings were fine, and the lamb's-wool, even in the opinion of my wife, who was a connoisseur, was excellent," add the following note— Lamb's-wool was a favourite winter beverage among our forefathers, for the composition of which the following receipt has been preserved by Archdeacon Nares :-" The pulpe of the roasted apples, in number foure or five, according to the greatness of the apples, mixed in a wine quart of fair water laboured together, until it come to be as apples, which we call lamb's wool." -Johnson's Gerard, p. 1460. To prevent mistakes, it should be added, that lamb's-wool is not the apples mixed with water, but that mixture added to ale. Mr. Nares adds, that the name was probably taken from its smoothness and softness resembling the wool of lambs. A writer in the Gentleman's Magazine, for May 1784, says, he has often met with lamb's wool in Ireland, where it is a constant ingredient at a merry-making on holyeve, or the day before All Saints' day.- See Encyclop. Metrop., and Brand's Popular Antiquities. VOL. III.-LIFE OF PARNELL. Page 359, line 5.—“ He died at Chester, in July 1717, on his way to Ireland, and was buried in Trinity Church in that town, without any monument to mark the place of his interment." Since the above passage was printed off, the editor has been favoured with the following communication from Mr. Donovan, of Anson-street, Liverpool: "In the summer of 1834, I happened to be for a short time in Chester, and, among other little pursuits to which I devoted my leisure hours while there, I endeavoured to discover whether Parnell was really interred without any monument in Trinity Church in that city, as Goldsmith writes, or not. I made the search among the monuments which I proposed, and made also minute enquiries, but in vain; and I think I may say, that no monument does exist. My next inquiry was, whether they had even any record of his interment; and to ascertain this, I obtained permission to search the Registry. I examined without effect the year 1717, but, pursuing the list, I found, to my no small surprise, the following entry, in its proper order of date, in the register of interments of 1718 THOMAS PARNELL, D. D., '18 October, 1718,' being one year and three months after the time which Goldsmith mentions as the period of his decease." VOL. IV,-THE TRAVELLER. Page 30, line 15.-After, "The lifted axe, the agonizing wheel, Luke's iron crown, and Damien's bed of steel," add the following note Robert-François Damiens, the assassin who attempted the life of Lewis XV. in 1757. “What the miserable man suffered,” says Horace Walpole, "is not to be described, When first seized, and carried into the guardchamber, the garde-des-sçéaux and the Duc d'Ayen ordered the tongs to be heated, and pieces of flesh torn from his legs, to make him declare his accomplices. The industrious art used to preserve his life was not less than the refinement of torture by which they meaned to take it away. The inventions to form the bed in which he lay (as the wounds on his legs prevented his standing) that his health might in no shape be affected, equalled what a refining tyrant would have sought to indulge his own luxury.”— Memoirs of George II., vol i. p. 105. |
