But in a grant from King Stephen to Bishop Roger de Clinton, who commenced the present fabric, it is simply styled _ecclesia Sancti Ceddae de Lichfield_; and in the year 1341 a document was addressed _Decano et Capitulo ecclesiae Sancti Ceddae Lych'_, as may be learned from the _Foedera_, vol. ii. p. 2. We thus perceive, that the original name of Lichfield Cathedral has been dropped for centuries, and so has that of the church which Bishop Chad built in honour of the Virgin Mary at Stow; for this Church has, for a long time, been known only by the name of Stow Church, or by that of St. Chad's, Stow. And in this manner, I fancy, may be reconciled the different names of Saviour's, or St. Saviour's, Canterbury, and St. Martin's, Canterbury; both alluding to the same church, THE MOTHER CHURCH of _Saxon_ England.

M. G.:-- "Some report that in Nova Zembla and Greenland men's words are wont to be frozen in the air, and at the thaw may be heard." The application of the idea by Charles Dickens, in his _Old Curiosity Shop_, is also, I think, extremely felicitous. "'Don't be frightened, mistress,' said Quilp, after a pause. 'Your son knows me: I don't eat babies; I don't like 'em. It will be as well to stop that young screamer though, in case I should be tempted to do him a mischief. Holloa, Sir! will you be quiet?' _Little Jacob stemmed the course of two tears which he was squeezing out of his eyes, and instantly subsided into a silent horror.... The moment their_ [Quilp and Swiveller] _backs were turned, little Jacob thawed, and resumed his crying from the point where Quilp had frozen him._"--Vol. i. pp. 207-9. J. B. COLMAN. _To Pose._--In Vol. ii., p. 522., your correspondent F. R. A. points out some passages in which the word "posing" appears to be used in a sense equivalent to "parsing." Neither the etymology nor the exact meaning of the word "to pose," are easy to determine. It seems to be abbreviated from the old verb "to appose;" which meant, to set a task, to subject to an examination or interrogatory; and hence to perplex, to embarrass, to puzzle. The latter is the common meaning of the word _to pose_; thus in Crabbe's _Parish Register_:-- "Then by what name th' unwelcome guest to call, Was long a question, and _it posed them all_."
