64. _Spenser's Portraits_ (Vol. iv., p. 74.).--VARRO states he is "well acquainted with an _admirable portrait_ of the poet, bearing date 1593." Perhaps he could give a satisfactory answer to a Query relative to the engraved portraits of Spenser which appeared in one of the numbers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" for last April, and which was not been yet answered. E. M. B. 65. _Borrow's Bible in Spain._--In the _Athenæum_ for Aug. 17, 1850, in a review of Wallis's _Glimpses of Spain_, I find the following remark:-- "Mr. Wallis imputes a want of judgment and of 'earnest desire' for the objects of his mission to Mr. Borrow _personally_, on the ground that he--being, as all know, sent out by the Bible Society to circulate the Protestant Scriptures--did not, instead of attempting to fulfil that special object of his mission, employ himself in diffusing the Roman Catholic version of the Vulgate set forth by the Spanish hierarchy." It is well known that the Bible Society keeps on its shelves both the Protestant and Roman Catholic versions of French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Its endeavours at present are, I believe, confined to attempting to circulate the Roman Catholic versions, on the ground that it is impossible to circulate the more correct Protestant ones. My Queries are:-- 1. Was Mr. Borrow sent out by the Bible Society to circulate the Protestant Scriptures? 2. Whose translation of the Vulgate was set forth by the Spanish hierarchy? E. M. B. 66. _Dogmatism and Puppyism._-- "Dogmatism is nothing but puppyism come to its full growth." I find this quotation in a leader of _The Times_. Can you or any of your readers inform me of its origin? [?] 67. _A Saxon Bell-house._--A reader of "NOTES AND QUERIES," who subscribes himself A LOVER OF BELLS, has kindly referred me to a passage in Hume's _History of England_, in which it is said that, according to a statute of Athelstan, "a ceorle or husbandman who had been able to purchase five hides of land, and had a chapel, a kitchen, a hall, and a _bell_," was raised to the rank of a Thane. The marginal reference in Hume is to Selden's _Titles of Honor_; and in that work the statue is then given: "If a churle or a countryman so thrived that hee had fully five hides of his owne land, a church, and a kitchen, a bel-house, a borough-gate with a seate, and any distinct office in the king's court, then was he henceforth of equall honour or dignitie with a Thane." Selden considers that the _bel-house_ was the dining-hall to which the guests and family were summoned by the ringing of a bell. He thinks the word corresponds with _tinello_, _tinelo_, and _tinel_, the Italian, Spanish, and French words for a "public hall" or "dining-room,"--"so named, because the _tin_ or tingling of a bell at the times of dinner or supper in it were signified by it."
