The History 01 the Hiss, According to the chronicle of Winsonius, kissing was unknown in Englapd until the Princess Rowena, theclaughter of King Ifen. gist of Friesland, instructed the insularVor- tigern in the imported alute, Though the Saxon statistics are not probably exttet, it is historical that in England, not so many, years ago, it would have boon tho impera- tive duty of a visitor to have kissed all the ladies of tho household, even without pre - liens aormaintanoe. Such was the experi. once of many surprised ltterary foreigners, notably Erasmus, The contemporary drama shows the usage to have lasted into the Georgian era, and it is to be noticed that the perforinanee was generally called mo "salute," sometimes " the salute." The history of the early, Christian church affords instsuction on this topic. At first the kiss was an adopted sign of fellowship —" Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss" (I; Them, v., 26). It early passed into cere- mony, as the kiss of peace gtven to a newly baptized convert, and in celebrating the Eu- charist. But, as it was fennel to have some qualities not adaptodto religious and spirit- ual use between the sexes, it was ordered that:only mon should kiss =wand women only .vvomen. . The awkwardness of this praotice'op .per haps the experience of promiscuous kissIng even when limited twthe same, sex, as liable to convey contegiottediseases, induc- ed another amendment, by which the cere- monial kiss in the Roman churchwas only passed between the ministrants, and a relic or cross called the osoulatorium calm svas passed to the people for their lips, . It may perhaps be suggested that 01 0 reason f or the very long delay in the prac- tice of the mutual kiss was in the general use by one or both of tho sexes of nose -rings or labrets,,either of which would prevent the approximation requisite. If such use be not admitted as a cause sofficiens, it at least affords evidence that the kiss was not ous. tomary among the people by whom nose - rims and labrets wore worn. Indeed, Pi of. Dalt gives instances where, la:trots being oommoo and the kias unknown, the tongues are protruded in affectionate salute. Tho kiss of the hand is undoubtedly an• oient, and therefore is not derived from that of the lips, but probably the converse is true. The hand kiss is loosely assert04 to be developed from servile obeisances in which the earth, tho foot and the garments wore kissed, the hand and cheek succeeding in order of time and approach to equality of sank. But 11 10 doubtful if Oat was the actual order, and it is certain that at the time when hand -kissing began there were less numerous gradations of rank than at a later stage. Kissing of the hands between num is men- tioned in the Old Testament, also by Homer, Pliny and Lucian., The,,kiss was anPliod re- verently to sacred objeots, ouch as otatues of the gods, as shown by ancieut works of art, and also among anmeot etymologists, by that of the Latin word adore; and. 11 1005 also metaphorically applied by the ipferior or worshipper kissing his own hand and throwing the solute to the superiov or statue. In republican Rome the kissing of the hands of superiors was common, liut the greeting Was mere energetic than the em- perors could endure, and mon courtiers of even important ataticn were compelled to kneel and with the right hand carry the hem of the emperor's robe to their lips. Even this became a too precious, or, through proximity, a too dangerous privi- lege, and they were allowed to salute at a distanoo by kissing their own hands as when they adored the gods. The sign of Rome's decadence has survived in the local- ity. Tho mouth kissing the hand, by whioh Job described a species of idolatry, is a epecies of adulation practised by every cring. mg servant in Italy. When the actual practice has ceased it survives, in phrases. Austrian Mon habitually. say to one another, "Kuno d'Hand 1" A variant form was found among the Algonkins and Iroquois, as Chap - mon related, in 1655, that " they kissed emelt his own hand and then placed it in 101510,"a'' ffeetion, together with respect, is some- times shown in the Orieut when a servant sok* a master, a son a father, or a wife her husband by kissing the other's hand either on back or palm, or both, and then carrying 11 1.0 the kisser'a forehead. 'Among tho 'Malays the visitor approaches the mob he wishes to salute with hands joined as if in supplieation, while the other touches thoto lightly with his own on the other side and afterward raises his hands to his lips or •forelload. These motions aro similar to the cavemen - 100 in the feudal acts of homage and fealty.
