King's
Alfred Jewel.
Hutchinson's History of
Durham. Vol. I. p. 25. note †. In the
Philosophical Transactions
No. 247 and 260 and in
Gibson's edit of the Britannia, a curious Jewel,
representing
St. Cuthbert, is
described, found near
Athelney in
Somersetshire. The portrait is enamelled
on gold, drawn sitting in an episcopal chair, with the following inscription
in Saxon – Thus construed: – Alfredus me jussit fabrican.
Mr Wallis, speaking of this portrait, has
the following remarks: “
King Alfred
preferred these characters to the saxon, and when he swa/y\ed the sceptre,
brought them into use. This curious memorial of
St. Cure Cuthbert was found in the very
place of that glorious monarch's retreat and deliverance from the Danes,
fortified by him in the time of war, and in the time of peace converted into
a monastery.”
Dr. Musgrave (who wrote
a dissertation thereon), thinks this curious Cimolium an undeniable instance
of the use of images coming from the Heathens into the Christian Church.
Dr. Hickes has engraven it in his
Thesaurus, and is of opinion, that the occasion of it was the vision of
St. Cuthbert, which
William of Malmsbury speaks of,
appearing to him and his mother the same night, (after he had been beaten by
the Danes, and retired into
Athelney),
and assuring him that he should be a great king. In memory whereof we may
well suppose, that the image upon it is
St.
Cuthbert's, (to whose merit he was wont to ascribe his future
successes over the Danes), and not only so, but being plainly made, on
purpose to hang on a string, it is very probable that himself constantly
wore it, in honour of to this his tutelar saint. – It is said to
be now in the
Ashmolean Museum at
Oxford. – see Archaeologia, Vol. ii.
p. 68.72.

[Addendum 6]
Mr. Crynes's
account of the
Feather-piece which he
left to the
Museum. This
Mexican Feather-piece was given to
Mrs. Margaret Dawson (one of the
Gentlewomen of the Bedchamber to
Mary of
Modena, wife of
King James the
Second, as her nephew said; & as appears by the printed
depositions on the birth of the Prince of Wales) by the said
Queen Mary.
Mrs Dawson left it by will to her nephew
Dr. Harrison of All Souls, after whose
death I bought it.
N. Crynes
Mr. John Shippen told me he saw five
pictures of the same kind in the King of Spain's Cabinet (I think) at the
Escurial.
[Addendum 7]
Account of the
great Spider
given to the
Museum by
Joseph Foster Bartham Esqr. The Spider I
send you with some of his web upon blue paper is a Native of
Jamaica. He hangs his net between trees 10
or 15 feet asunder; His prey is wasps & other large flies. I have
observed, the humming Bird, tho so swift in flight, carefully avoids the
snare. A gentleman told me, that percieving one of these Birds ensnar'd,
& the Spider running round him, binding him with his web, he first
kill'd the spider & afterwards trying to disentangle the little bird,
found it was kill'd. Children get the silk from these creatures by winding
it from them, as silk is wound from the wormcases, which is contained
between the large shell & the real backs of the creature
within.
645
[Addendum 8] Copy of the
letter to the
Honble
Mr. Ben.det Leonard
Calvert, concerning the
creatures half frog, half Fish. These
amphibious Creatures, I took alive out of the
Lake Aniagno near
Naples in
Sept. 1724. They werewhen alive, exactly half a frog & half a Tench.
This odd singularity in Nature was never known to happen there before. The
People of the Place relate a miracle as the cause of this monstrous
production; but an extraordinary mixture of the Spawn of Fishes & frogs
seems to be the most natural account of this strange procreation.

withintwo miles of

Mattocks or Picaxes, from some of them issued a Black matter like a Jelly
wch. Smelt very fragant of Spices Herbs &c,
& when they brought it into the Air upon their or Shovels, was in
continual motion quivering & shaking; they likewise observed ashes to
lay round about the Places where these Pots stood. Their Master
Mr. William Bunce of
Froxfeild aforesaid Surveyor of the said Turnpike road
coming to them & observing, these extraordinary appearances, charged his
men to dig on with caution, when they came to any more ashes, & to
endeavour to take out these vessels whole which they did for the future

their mouths downward & calcin'd Bones under them. One very small

[Addendum 21] A Copy of a Letter from
the
Bishop of Lincoln to the
Vice-Chancellor transcribed from the
Original in the Cabinet of Coin/e\s at the
Ashmolean Repository. Mr
Vice-chancellor. This comes with my love & service to tell
you, that an ingenious Gentleman in my country, one
Mr Brathaite having a collection of ancient Coines, I
told him many years since when I was keeper of
Bodlies Library (an importunate beggar for that great Magazine
of Books (Coines). That he might do well to give his coines to
our Library, so they would be preserved nor was it
possible that they cou'd anywhere be placed more for his honour & the
publique Good. This Gentleman is dead, & by a deed under his hand &
seal (which you will find in the Box) left them to me in trust for the
University. A worthy Gentleman (
Sr Daniel Fleminge a
member of the
house of Commons)
brought them to me & told me that the Box & the Coines he brought me
were the very same which were delivered him by the donor of them. I did
not question it & have sent
them to you unopened as they came to me.
Mr
Ashmole hearing of them came to me & told me that he had
reason to hope that the
University wou'd
place them amongst his raritys & speakes of a condition or Covenant made
between him & the
University that
what Raritys were given to the
University
(pro futuro) shou'd be placed amongst
his. I doubt not but you will gratify him in this particular he having
(which he shew'd me) many MSS & other things of good value which he
intends for the
University. I have no
more to say save that I am

Brother

Extract – The Matter or Substance of this precious piece of Antiquity, is granite of the prime Quality: its form is this [diagram] & if it were perfect at the end, c, it would then appear to be the Section, taken lengthways, of a vase of this form [diagram] for without doubt the other side corresponded with it as to form, Dimension & ornaments. The whole piece from the point a to the end c is 7 feet long the width 2 feet & the fl at part of an uniform Thickness of nearly 10 Inches: its weight 20 hundr &c.
