_Meaning of "Nervous."_--Will any of your correspondents kindly oblige me, by stating what is the actual meaning of the word _nervous_? On reference to Johnson, I find it expressed as follows:-- "Nervy, sinewy, _vigorous_; also having _diseased_ or _weak_ nerves." Now, by this definition, I am led to believe that the word has two meanings, directly opposed to each other. Is this so? K. BANNEL. Liverpool. _Doomsday Book of Scotland._--In vol. xx. of Sir John Sinclair's _Statistical Account of Scotland_, 1798, the following extract of a letter appears from John Pinkerton, Esq., the antiquarian writer, dated the 23rd February, 1794: "In looking over the _Survey of Scotland_ accomplished by your exertions, it occurred to me that I could furnish an article, worthy to appear in an Appendix to one of the volumes of the _Statistical Account_. I need not inform you, that in the third volume of Prynne's _Records_ there is a large but undigested list of all those in Scotland who paid homage to Edward I. in 1291 and 1296, forming a kind of Doomsday Book of the country at that period. Four years ago, I, with some labour, reduced the numerous names and designations into alphabetical order, and the list being now adapted to general use, and containing the names and designations of the chief landholders, citizens, and clergy of the time, it may be regarded as of no small importance to our ancient statistics, topography, and genealogy. If your opinion coincides, I shall with pleasure present it to you for the purpose, and correct the press." Now the article so kindly proffered by Mr. Pinkerton did not appear in the _Statistical Account of Scotland_, or in any of Mr. Pinkerton's subsequent publications, that I am aware of. I should feel obliged if any correspondent could inform me if it was ever published. ABERDONIENSIS. Minor Queries Answered. _Dr. Sacheverell._--Was Dr. Sacheverell's speech on his trial (supposed to have been the work of Francis Atterbury, Bishop of Rochester) ever published? If so, when, and by whom? COLLY WOBBLES. [A printed copy of Dr. Sacheverell's speech is now on our table, but without any publisher's name. The following is a copy of the title: "The Speech of Henry Sacheverell, D.D., upon his Impeachment at the Bar of the House of Lords, in Westminster Hall, March 7. 1709-10. London, Printed in the year 1710." On the back of the title-page appears the following advertisement: "Just published, Collections of Passages referred to by Dr. Henry Sacheverell in his Answer to the Articles of his Impeachment, under four Heads. I. Testimonies concerning the doctrine of Non-resistance to the Supreme Powers. II. Blasphemous, irreligious, and heretical Positions, lately published. III. The Church and Clergy abused. IV. The Queen, State, and Ministry reflected upon."] _Princess Wilbrahama._--Advertisement of a pamphlet appearing in 1767:
