The reader will inter alia notice, that S. Jlary
Magdalen is here invoked and enrolled among
virgins: which demonstrates that, according to
the traditions of the Church, she is not (as is
commonly now-a-days held) "the woman that
was a sinner." J. F . S. GORDON, D.D.
THE WORD " AGROOSE " AXD THE ^NASCE OP
SIIEITIKLD. — A cutting from the Sheffield and
Itotlieram Independent, Tuesday, April 10,1866:—
" To TIIE EDITOB. — Living in a remote corner of
Europe, I consider myself fortunate if (in winter) your
paper reaches me within three weeks after publication;
as, therefore, any communication from here must be ' a
day after the fair,' its insertion or rejection will be at
.your discretion.
" The word ' agroose' will, I think, be found of Scan-
dinavian origin. There are two words from which it
may be derived. The first is ' at grue,' to dread, or to
shudder at. The second and most probable, i s ' gruus,'
and means simply gravel or coarse sand. ' Igruus' means
in gravel, and all readers of Shakespeare will remember
how the prefix ' a ' is used for both on and in—as ' a-bed,'
' a-foot,' &c. Taking this view, it i3 quite likely that the
chronicler used the word' agroose' as a technical term to
signify not only that the Casar had to bite the dust, but
the very nature of the ground on which the ceremony
took place.
" While on the subject of words, I cannot help noticing
that the Danish language gives a better answer to the
question, • What is the name Sheffield derived from ? '
than the one given by histories, directories, and guides.
These latter tell us Sheffield is so called from its situation
on the river Sheaf, quite overlooking the greater proba-
bility of the river being named after the town or the
district. The name ' Sheffield' seems to be a corruption
of ' Skjev-Fjeld,' the first syllable pronounced exactly
409
as it is written in the Shevild chap's annual, and the
Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/nq/article-abstract/s3-IX/229/406/4477134 by University of St Andrews user on 03 July 2019
second as if written * Ff-el.'
" Chaucer wrote ' Shefeld,' and in Danish now«Shiev-
field,' is pronounced exactly as I remember many old
Sheffielders used to do. The meaning of' Skjev-field,' is,
'Sloping hill or mountain.' Now, whether this name
was given to the district or to the town proper, it was
equally applicable: for among all the hills on which the
town is built, or by which it is surrounded, there is not
one to which this term cannot be given. Even on the
north and west, where they ascend into the rank of
mountains, the rocky and precipitous faces are all turned
away from the town.

Loins XIV.: CHEVAXIER D'ISHIXGTON.—The
Chevalier d'Ishington, to whom this letter is ad-
dressed by Louis XIV., was a Scotchman, and
some of your readers may be able to throw some
light on his history and origin: —
" Monsr le Chler' d'Ischington. Les ouuertures et pro-
positions quo vous m'auez faictes pour auancer le report
des Anglois et des Escossois m'ont fait resoudre d'enuoyer
en Escosse le Sr de ilontreuil, qui passera' a Londres et
vous rendra celle-cy qne je vous ecris par l'anis de la
Reyne Kegente Madame ma mere pour vous direqueje
l'ay charge de conferer auec vous des moyens qu'il faudra
teiiir pour la continuation de 1'Alliance qui s'est si long-
temps conserue"c cntre les couronnes de France et d'Escosse,
pour obtenir d'eux la permission de faire des recreue3 (?)
et pour trouuer quelques bons expedients qui puissent
acquerir la paix aux deux Uoyaumes par une bonne re-
union des sujects a leur souuerain auec le maintien et

cependant je prierav Dieu quil vous aj*t Monsr le Chler*e
d'Ischington en sa' s" garde. Escrit A Paris le xii
Juillet, 1645.
" Louis,
" De Lomenie, G. S."
There was formerly in Fifeshire, a family of the
name of Dishington, now apparently extinct, who
possessed the lands of Locnmalony. May the
Chevalier not have been of this race ?

DTJBMK USIVERSTIY LIBRARY. — As, some
months ago, I was wandering through the stu-
pendous Library of which the University of Dublin
has so good reason to be proud—oppressed by
that feeling of awe which the sight of so many
books, the labour of so many hours, the essence of
so many brains, the sacrifice of so many lives,
inspired — I came suddenly upon a quantity of
books of all sizes, ages, and binding lying in a dis-
orderly heap on the floor.
On questioning the attendant about them, he
replied that they were duplicates, and would re-
main where they were until there were enough to
fill a waggon, when they would be carted off and
