It is somewhat strange that I should have omitted the following passage whilst writing on this subject in a recent Number, as the work to which it refers, Bishop Jewel's _Defence of his Apology for the Church of England_, is so well known: "At the desire of Archbishop Parker, a copy of the _Defence_ was set up soon after Jewel's death, in almost every parish church in England; and fragments of it are still to be seen in some churches, together with the chain by which it was attached to the reading-desk provided for it." This extract is taken from the _Life of Bishop Jewel_, prefixed to the English translation of the _Apology_, edited by Dr. Jelf for the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge (8vo. Lond. 1849), p. xx. An order for the setting up of "the _Paraphrases_ of Erasmus in English upon the gospels" in some convenient place within all churches and chapels in the province of York, will be found in Archbishop Grindal's _Injunctions for the Laity_, § 4. (_Remains, &c._, Parker Society, p. 134.) See also the _Articles to be enquired of within the Province of Canterburie_, § 2. (Ibid. p. 158.) W. SPARROW SIMPSON. In Malvern Abbey Church is a stand to which two books are chained. The one is a commentary on the Book of Common Prayer; the other is a treatise on Church Unity. In Kinver Church (Worcestershire) are three books placed in a desk (_not_ chained) in the south aisle: being _The Whole Duty of Man_ (1703); _A Sermon made in Latine in the Reigne of Edward the Sixte_, by John Jevvel, Bishop of Sarisburie; and _The Actes and Monumentes of Christian Martyrs_ (1583). CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A. At Bowness Church, on Windermere Lake, there is (or at least was, in 1842) a copy of Erasmus's _Paraphrase_ chained. If I am not mistaken, some of Jewel's works will also be found there. E. H. A. _Scheltrum_ (Vol. vi., p. 364.).--KARL will find _scheltrum_, variously written "scheltrun, sheltrun, shiltroun, schetrome," of very common occurrence in the translation of the Old Testament by Wicliff and his followers; it is there rendered from the Lat. _aeies_. The instances quoted by Jamieson, from the Latin _testudo_, come nearer to the origin, _shield_. Q. Bloomsbury. _Quarrel_ (Vol. vi., p. 172.).--BALLIOLENSIS will be pleased with Mr. Trench's ingenious account of our conversion of a _complaint_ into a _quarrel_. "The Latin word (_querela_) means properly 'complaint,' and we have in 'querulous' this its proper meaning coming distinctly out. Not so, however, in 'quarrel,' for Englishmen, being wont not merely to 'complain,' but to set vigorously about righting and redressing themselves, their griefs being also grievances, out of this word, which might have given them only {207} 'querulous' and 'querulousness,' have gotten 'quarrel' as well."--_On the Study of Words_, p. 57.
