In some old French prints, the Virgin is surrounded by a number of angels, defending her with shield and buckler against demons who are taking aim at her with fiery arrows. Such, and even worse, vagaries and perversities, are to be found in the innumerable pictures of this favourite subject, which inundated the churches between 1640 and 1720. Of these I shall say no more.
Impeached the 15th of December 1640, the same day twelvemonth that he ordered the Common Prayer-book of Scotland to be printed, in order to be imposed upon the Scots, from which all our troubles began. But many more, and more strange, are the critical junctures of affairs in the case of the enemy, or at least more observed by me:
Lamb's Shakespeare was not sold at the sale of his library; only a copy of the Poems, 12mo, 1714. His annotated copy of the Poems, 1640, is in America. There is a reference to one of Rowe's plates in the essay "My First Play." The pictures were exhibited in the Shakespeare Gallery in Pall Mall, and the engravings were published in 1802.
He hurried me through the rooms, filling my ears with such gibberish as this: "That ere picture, sir, up there, was painted, five hundred years ago, for William the Conqueror, by Wandyke." This is no mean blunder in chronology! Sir Antony Vandyke, who died about the year 1640.
While occupied in making great preparations to relieve Malacca, and to remedy other disorders then subsisting in Portuguese India, he was superseded in the government of India, by the arrival of Juan de Silva Tello, as viceroy, towards the end of 1640; on which Antonio Tellez, having resigned the sword of command, immediately embarked for Portugal, not thinking proper to serve as admiral where he had enjoyed the supreme authority.
For a case of the acquittal of a witch and the exposure of the pretended convulsions of her accuser, see Cal. St. P., Dom., 1635, 477. For example of suits for slander see North Riding Rec. Soc, IV, 182, session July 9, 1640. A solitary pamphlet of this period must be mentioned. The "sad subject of this little treatise" was a musician with nineteen children.
"Act Rescinding and Annulling the pretended parliaments in the years 1640, 1641, etc.
The Francke "tina" process is based on the same metallurgical principles as the system described by Alonzo Barba in 1640, and also on those introduced into the States in more recent times under the name of the Washoe process.
David's doubts had been too many and too critical to permit him ever unequivocally to unite himself with any of the dissenters, who upon various accounts absolutely seceded from the national church. He had often joined in communion with such of the established clergy as approached nearest to the old Presbyterian model and principles of 1640.
It was in 1640, upon the occasion of their second invasion, that Strafford was recalled from Ireland to assume command of the royal forces in the North of England.
