Various
Questions and answers -- Periodicals
_Papyrus_ (Vol. ix., p. 222.).--If R. H. means the growing plant, it is to
be found in most botanical gardens.
P. P.
_Bell at Rouen_ (Vol. viii., p. 448.; Vol. ix., p. 233.).--A portion of the
great George d'Ambois is preserved in the Museum of Antiquities at Rouen,
where I saw it four years ago.
CPL.
_Word-minting_ (Vol. ix., pp. 151. 335.).--Your correspondent J. A. H.
cannot have seen Richardson's _Dictionary_, where he will find the word
_derangement_, in the sense of madness, illustrated by an instance from
Paley, _Evidences_, prop. 2.
CPL.
_Coleridge's Christabel_ (Vol. vii., pp. 206. 292.; Vol. viii., pp. 11.
111.; Vol. ix., p. 455.).--My Query relative to Christabel (Vol. vii., p.
292.) seems to have been lost sight of, and has not as yet received a
reply. Will you kindly permit me to renew it?
In the _European Magazine_ for April, 1815, there appeared a poem entitled
"Christobell: a Gothic tale. Written as a sequel to a beautiful legend of a
fair lady and her father, deceived by a witch in the guise of a noble
knight's daughter." It is dated "March, 1815," and signed "V.," and was
reprinted in _Fraser's Magazine_ for January, 1835. It commences thus:
"Whence comes the wavering light which falls
On Langdale's lonely Chapel-walls?
The noble mother of Christobell
Lies in that lone and drear chapelle."
Query, What is known of the history and authorship of this poem?
It will be observed from the dates, that the _sequel_ appeared in print
before Christabel was published by Coleridge.
J. M. B.
_Garrick's Funeral Epigram_ (Vol. vii., p. 619.).--Bishop Horne was, I
believe, the author of these verses; at least I have seen them in a volume
published by him, entitled (I think) _Miscellanies_: and I think they are
stated to be his in Jones' _Life of Horne_. But I have neither work at this
moment before me to refer to.
