"WE WERE NOT SLAYNE BUT RAYSD; RAYSD NOT TO LIFE, BVT TO BE BVRIED TWICE BY MEN OF STRIFE. WHAT REST COVLD ᵀᴴ LIVING HAVE, WHEN DEAD HAD NONE? AGREE AMONGST YOV, HERE WE TEN ARE ONE. HEN. ROGERS DIED APRIL 17, 1641. I. R." The popular legend is, that the ten men perished by the falling in of a gravel-pit, and that their remains were buried together. This, however, will not account for the "men of strife." Is it not probable that, in the time of the civil wars, the bodies might have been disinterred for the sake of the leaden coffins, and then deposited in their present resting-place? {148} The tomb may have been erected some time afterwards by "I. R.," probably a relative of the "Henry Rogers," the date of whose death is commemorated. T. J. Bath. _Books worthy to be reprinted_ (Vol. vii., pp. 153. 203.).--In addition to those previously mentioned in "N. & Q.," there is one for which a crying necessity exists for a new edition, namely, _The Complaynt of Scotland_. It is often advertised and otherwise sought for; and when found, can only be had at a most extravagant price. It was originally written in 1548; and in 1801, a limited impression, edited by Dr. Leyden, was published; and in 1829, "Critiques upon it by David Herd, and others, with observations in answer by Dr. Leyden," to the number of seventy copies. _The Complaynt of Scotland_ and _Sir Tristrem_, an edition of which was edited by Sir Walter Scott, and published in 1804, are two of the oldest works of which the literature of Scotland can boast. INVERNESS. _Napoleon's Thunderstorm._--The passage of the Niemen by the French army, and its consequent entry on Russian territory, may be said to have been Napoleon's first step towards defeat and ruin. A terrible thunderstorm occurred on that occasion, according to M. Ségur's account of the Russian campaign. When Napoleon commenced the retreat, by which he yielded all the country beyond the Elbe (and which, therefore, may be reckoned a second step towards his downfall), it was accompanied by a thunderstorm more remarkable from occurring at such a season. Odelben says: "C'était un phenomène bien extraordinaire dans un pareil saison, et avec le froid qu'on venait d'éprouver," &c.--Odelben, _Camp. de 1813_, vol. i. p. 289. The first step towards his second downfall, or third towards complete ruin, was his advance upon the British force at Quatre-Bras, June 17, 1815. This also was accompanied by an awful thunderstorm, which (although gathering all the forenoon) commenced at the very moment he made his attack on the British rear-guard (about two p. m.), when the first gun fired was instantaneously responded to by a tremendous peal of thunder.
