THE NAME MARTEL.

I must confess that the article in No. 6. p. 86., which deprived Charles Martel of his long-possessed distinction of “the hammerer” gave me but little satisfaction.  It was one of those old associations that one does not like to have destroyed.  I could not, however, contradict your correspondents; and remained that very uncomfortable person, “a man convinced against his will.”  On turning over my Menagiana, yesterday, I stumbled upon the name “Martel,” and, as the passage combines both your elements (being a good note, and producing a query) I beg leave to offer it to you.
