"That the defendant only stood _upon the_ platform of the pillory, unconfined, and at his ease, attended by a _servant_ in _livery_ (which servant and livery were hired for this occasion only) holding an umbrella over his head, all the time:"
and Mr. Justice Dennison, in pronouncing sentence on Beardmore, did not omit to allude to the umbrella.
_Form of Prayer at the Healing_ (Vol. iii., p. 42.).--A copy of this service of an earlier date than those mentioned is before me. It was printed in folio at the Hague, 1650; and is appended to "a Form of Prayer used in King Charles II.'s Chappel upon _Tuesdays_, in the times of his trouble and distress." Charles I. was executed on that day of the week.
"Thoughts take up no room," saith Jeremy Collier, in a curious passage which Mr. Elmes has adopted as the motto of a pretty little volume, which he has just put forth under the following characteristic title: _Horæ Vacivæ, a Thought-book of the Wise Spirits of all Ages and all Countries, fit for all Men and all Hours_. The work appears to have furnished a source of occupation to its editor when partially recovering from a deprivation of sight. It is well described by him as a "Spicilegium of golden thoughts of wise spirits, who, though dead, yet speak;" and being printed in Whittingham's quaintest style, and suitably bound, this Thought-book is as externally tempting as it is intrinsically valuable.
_The Calendar of the Anglican Church Illustrated, with Brief Accounts of the Saints who have Churches dedicated in their Names, or whose Images are most frequently met with in England; the Early Christian and Mediæval Symbols; and an Index of Emblems_, is sufficiently described in its title-page. The editor very properly explains that the work is of an archæological, not of a theological character--and as such it is certainly one which English archæologists and ecclesiologists have long wanted. The editor, while judiciously availing himself of the labours of Alt, Radowitz, Didron, and other foreign writers, has not spared his own, having, with the view to one portion of it, compiled a list of all the churches in England, with the saints after whom they were named. This is sufficient to show that the work is one of research, and consequently of value; that value being materially increased by the numerous woodcuts admirably engraved by Mr. O. Jewitt, with which it is illustrated.
