Suffolk, calls it the _Horky_; Dr. Nares having said that Bloomfield does
not venture on this provincial term for a _Harvest-home_.

CHARLES MARTEL.

(Vol. i. pp. 86. 275.)

If Charles _Martel_ must no longer be the _Mauler_, he will only be
excluded from a very motley band. Here are a few of his repudiated
namesakes:--

1. The _Maccabaei_ from Hebr. _Makkab_, a hammer.

2. Edward I., "_Malleus_ Scotorum."

3. "St. Augustine, that _Maul_ of heretics, was in chief repute with"
Josias Shute, among the Latin Fathers. (Lloyd's _Memoires_, p. 294.) "God
make you as Augustine, _Malleum Haereticorum_." (Edward's _Gangraena_, Part
II. p. 17. 1646.)

4. "Robertus Grossetest, Episcopus Lincolniensis, _Romanorum Malleus_, ob.
1253." (Fulman, _Notitia Oxon_. p. 103. 2nd ed.)

5. "Petrus de Alliaco, circ. A.D. 1400, _Malleus a veritate aberrantium
indefessus_ appellari solebat." (Wharton in _Keble's Hooker_, i. 102.)

6. T. Cromwell, "_Malleus Monachorum_:" "_Mauler_ of Monasteries" [Fuller,
if I recollect rightly, quoted by Carlyle]. Also, "_Mawling_ religious
houses." (Lloyd's _State Worthies_, i. 72. 8vo. ed.)

7. Bishop Prideaux, "_Malleus Haerese[=o]s_." (Wood, _Ath. Oxon_. iii.
267.)

8. Hooker, "_Schismaticorum Malleus_," Bp. H. King's Letter to Iz. Walton.

9. Peter Gunning, "_Schismaticorum Malleus_." (Barwick's _Life_, p. 22.
Latin ed.)

10. Archbishop Usher, "_Errorum malleus_." (Univ. of Oxford. Parr's _Life
of Usher_, p. 101.)

11. Henry Hammond, _Errorum maleus, &c._. (Lloyd's _Memoires_, p. 401.)

12. Dean Comber, "_falsi Malleus_". (Ib. v. 450.) The reader will at once
recollect "The hammer of the whole earth," in Jeremiah, L. 23. Grotius, in
his note on the "_Malleus_ universae terrae" of that passage, says,--

"Sic vocat Chaldaeos, pari de causa ut ob quam
Francorum quidam dictus est _Martellus_".

Compare George Herbert of Lord Bacon,--"Sophismatum _Mastix ... Securis_
que errorum," &c. &c. (_Poems_, p. 253, ed. 1844.) Nor must we forget
Attila, "the _scourge_ of God."

_Charles Martel_ (Vol. i. p. 86.)--The following note may perhaps be
acceptable in conjunction with that of G.J.K. (p. 86.), on Charles Martel.
It is taken from Michelet's _History of France_, an easily accessible work.
