[Footnote 16: CORYATIZING.--Thomas Coryate, an English traveller, who called himself the "Odcombian leg-stretcher." He was the son of the rector of Odcombe, and in 1611 published an account of his travels on the Continent with the singular title of "Coryates Crudities. Hastily gobled up in five Moneths travells in France, Savoy, Italy, Rhetia, commonly called the Grisons country, Helvetia, alias Switzerland, some parts of high Germany, and the Netherlands; Newly digested in the hungary aire of Odcombe in the county of Somerset, and now dispersed to the nourishment of the travelling members of this Kingdome, &c. London, printed by W. S., Anno Domini 1611." Taylor had an especial grudge against Coryat, for having had influence enough to procure his "Laugh and be Fat"--directed against the traveller--to be burned; and that he never failed to "feed fat the ancient grudge," may be seen in the many pieces of ridicule levelled at the author of the "Crudities," even after his death.] [Footnote 17: TOPHET.--The Hebrew name for _Hell_.] [Footnote 18: CIMMERIAN.--Pertaining to the Cimmerii, or their country; extremely and perpetually dark. The Cimmerii were an ancient people of the land now called the Crimea, and their country being subject to heavy fogs, was fabled to be involved in deep and continual obscurity. Ancient poets also mention a people of this name who dwelt in a valley near Lake Avernus, in Italy, which the sun was said never to visit.] [Footnote 19: PERTH.] [Footnote 20: BRAEMAR.] [Footnote 21: VIRGINAL JACK.--A keyed instrument resembling a spinet.] [Footnote 22: RED-SHANKS.--A contemptuous appellation for Scottish Highland clansmen and native Irish, with reference to their naked hirsute limbs, and "As lively as a _Red-Shank_" is still a proverbial saying:--"And we came into Ireland, where they would have landed in the north parts. But I would not, because there the inhabitants were all _Red-shanks_."--_Sir Walter Raleigh's_ Speech on the Scaffold.] [Footnote 23: PUT ME INTO THAT SHAPE.--That is, invested him in Highland attire.] [Footnote 24: "Probably the district around the skirts of Ben Muicdui."--_Chambers'_ Domestic Annals of Scotland.] [Footnote 25: BALLOCH CASTLE.--Now called Castle-Grant.] [Footnote 26: MORAY.] [Footnote 27: MORAYLAND.] [Footnote 28: SUGAR-CANDIAN.--_i.e._, Sugar-candy.]
