SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
4 Note on the Pronunciation of His Name,
From Notes and Queries.


From Notes and Queries.
According to Mr.. Adrian Wheeler the pro
nunciatiOn of Raleigh seems to be 'Rawley.'"
Whether this only means seems now to be- is
to be surmised. The question is, What the
pronunciation at the period indicated? And
surely that is much matter of surmise also.
when Sir Walter Raleigh's name told
CRaleghO, said the King, ON my soule, mon,
have heard rawly of thee" mot "rawley').
The conjecture presumably must be that King
James, with a abored joke founded on the
Il have heard really with the ''rale' sound
that the Irish still give to the word real; OF,
rarely" with the meaning, Il have heard rare
things of thee; or, the same word with its pres
ent meaning, II have heard seldom of thee (o1
late)." The assumption that King James
have sounded the letters raw now dc
surely requires some proof. Now, in old North
ern records one may find the name Maitland
(and even Maytland) spelled also Maitland
It is conceivable to the present writer that the
men who wrote Mainland" may have pro
nounced the word ''Ma-utland," but it is incOn-
ceivable to him that the who wrote Matt
land" (and "MaytlandD could have sounded the
name 'Mortland." for that is what our modern
tongues have brought the "au' and the ''aw'
to, as to sound.
Is there known to be any other origin for the
surname Raleigh" than the place name Ray
day in the way of the "Rawley" C.Rorly'D pro
nouncers. En- PEASANT, it may be worth remark
ing that rare meat" and raw meat are much
about the same thing Can it be proved that
rare" with the raw meaning. is anything
more than a phonetic spelling OF the SOUND
may be recoLected by some IN. and O. read
ers that it has been allowed that the proper
sound Of Ralph" Gotten spelled "Rawfe' in
old deeds) is "Rafe," rhyming with safe.

Il PAINTING BY D4TID.
The Strange History of Has Death o.

The painting by David, which we reproduce
on this page, representing Marat he expired
in his bath after the stroke of Charlotte Cor
day, has had a curious history. Many years aga
parte, and purchased from him by Nj
Durand-Ruel. That gentleman sold it to Nj
Terme, director of the Silk Museum at LYONS
Up to this time its authentic history was IN
questioned. But member of the family of the
painter, Nine. David hassagnoIe, protested
that it was not from the brush of her ancestor
but was plagiarism.
The matter was put before three experts NJ
Haro, the art dealer; the painter, Cabanel, ano
that distinguished official, NJ. Georges Lafenes-
tire. They came to the conclusion that while
the picture was undoubtedly a remarkable work
of art, it was painted by Gerard, and not by
David. This judgment was completely reversed
by the testimony Of dozen or more eninen.
painters, including Bonnat Henner and Puvis
de Chayannes. and in a communication from
the Prince Napoleon the origin of the work in
David's studio was further affirmed. NJ. Du-
rand-Ruel, having won his case was informed
by Cabanel and Lafenestre that they had signed
previous report on the subject without read
ing it! After the death of NJ Terme the pict-
ure was repurchased by NJ. Durand- RueI anC
the other day he sold it for II 900 francs to the
French government. 1t passes into the Museum
of Versailles, and henceforth it is to be pre-
sumed that it's authenticity will remain I'M
