EDWARD S. DODGSON. (To be continued.)
" VATLING THE HAT." Edward Lewkenor-
of Denham in West Suffolk died of smallpox
in December, 1634, " nondum 21." Though
so young, he left a daughter of three months, .
who in course of time married Horatio
Townshend of Raynham. I suppose that
she carried her father's portrait with her to
Raynham, for in March, 1904, it came up to
Christie's to be sold, with about two hundred
other Raynham portraits. It fetched 35Z.,.
and now hangs at Bio' Norton Hall, the
property of Prince Frederick Duleep Singh.
Edward Lewkenor's funeral sermon was
preached by Timothy Oldmayne, minister
of Denham, and was afterwards published.
In speaking of the young man's "humble
and courteous carriage and demeanour
towards all," he gives as evidence of it " the
hat gently vailed and the hand of respect
and love reached forth." A few years ago,
when printing some extracts from this
sermon, I suggested that " vailed " was a
printer's error for "raised." But from your
recent notice (12 S. ii. 499) of a new section
of the ' N.E.D.' I learn the needlessness of
this suggestion, for the word " vailed " had
as a second meaning that of " lowered."'
