forbearance of any of your correspondents whose "thunder" I may have unwittingly appropriated. J. S. WARDEN.

Errors in Punctuation (Vol. viii., p. 217.).Every one must agree with R. H. C. as to the importance of correct punctuation; and it may easily be supposed how it must puzzle readers of works whose language is in great part obsolete, to meet with mistakes of this kind, when we find modern writers frequently rendered almost unintelligible by similar errors. To take those whose works have, perhaps, been oftener reprinted than any others of this century, Byron and Scott, the foregoing passage in Childe Harold is a signal instance; and as another, the Sonnet translated by Byron from Vittorelli, has only had corrected in the very latest editions, an error in the punctuation of the first two lines which rendered them a mystery to those who did not understand the original, as printed on the opposite page. In note 12 to the 5th Canto of Marmion, every edition, British or foreign, down to the present day, punctuates the last two or three lines as follows:

"A torquois ring;-probably this fatal gift is, with James's sword and dagger, preserved in the College of Heralds, London."

Sir Walter is thus made to express a doubt, which he never intended, as to the ring being there. A comma after "ring," another after "gift," and the omission of the dash, will restore the true meaning of the sentence. J. S. WARDEN.

Waugh of Cumberland (Vol. ix., p. 272.). John Waugh (D. C. L., Feb. 8, 1734) — born and educated at Appleby, Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford; Rector of St. Peter's, Cornhill; Prebendary of Lincoln; Dean of Gloucester, secrated to the See of Carlisle Oct. 13, 1723: he died Oct. 1734, and was buried in the church of St. Peter, Cornhill.

"Could we with ink," &c. (Vol. viii. passim).— Perhaps one more communication may find admission on the above interesting lines. I received from a clerical friend, many years ago, a version of them, which differs considerably from that given in "N. & Q.,” Vol. viii., p. 127. The variations I have marked by Italics:

"Could you with ink the ocean fill,

Were the whole world of parchment made,
Were every single stick a quill,

And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God alone,
Would drain the ocean dry,

Nor could the earth contain the scroll,
Though stretch'd from sky to sky,"

AGMOND. Cecil was written by Mrs. Gore.

F. M. M. Balaam Box has long been used in Blackwood as the name of the depository of rejected articles. The allusion is obvious.

H. M. H. will find all the information he can desire respecting The Gentlemen at Arms, in Pegge's Curialia; Thiselton's Memoir of that Corps, published in 1819; or, better still, Curling's Account of the Ancient Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, 8vo. 1850.

J. C. K. The coin is a very common penny of Henry III., worth ninepence, or a shilling at most.

BALLIOLENSIS. Porson's jeu d'esprit is reprinted in the Facetiæ Cantabrigienses (1850), p. 16.

ENQUIRER. A triolet is a stanza of eight lines, in which, after the third the first line, and after the sixth the first two lines, are repeated, so that the first line is heard three times: hence the name. It is suited for playful and light subjects, and is cultivated by the French and Germans. The volume of Patrick Carey's Trivial Poems and Triolets, edited by Sir Walter Scott, in 1820, from a MS. of 1651, is an early instance of the use of the term.

A. B. M. The line referred to-" Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war"-is from Othello, Act III. Sc. 3. JARLTZBERG. Has not our Correspondent received a note we inclosed to him respecting The Circle of the Seasons?

OLD MORTALITY's offer of a collection of Epitaphs is declined with thanks. We have now waiting for insertion almost as many as would fill a cemetery.

ABHBA. The proverb "Mad as a March hare" has appeared in our Fourth Volume, p. 208.-Also, in the same volume, p. 309. &c., will be found several articles similar to the one forwarded on "Bee Superstitions."

F. (Oxford.) The extract forwarded from Southey's Common Place Book is a copy of the title-page of the anonymous work required.

H. C. M. The date of the earliest Coroner's Inquest, we should think, cannot be ascertained. The office of Coroner is of so great antiquity that its commencement is not known. It is evident that Coroners existed in the time of Alfred, for that king punished with death a judge who sentenced a party to suffer death upon the Coroner's record, without allowing the delinquent liberty to traverse. (Bac. on Gov. 66. ; 6 Vin. Abr. 242.) This officer is also mentioned by Athelstan in his charter to Beverly (Dugd. Monast. 171.).

I. R. R. Henry Machyn was a citizen and merchant-tailor of London from A.D. 1550 to 1563. See a notice of him prefixed to his Diary, published by the Camden Society. An account of John Stradling, the epigrammatist, will be found in Wood's Athenæ (Bliss), vol. ii. p. 396.- -Hockday, or Hokeday, is a high-day, a day of feasting and mirth, formerly held in England the second Tuesday after Easter, to commemorate the destruction of the Danes in the time of Ethelred.. For notices of George Wither in the Gentleman's Mag., see vol. lxxxvi. pt. ii. 32. 201.; vol. lxxxvii. pt. i. 42.; vol. lxxxviii. pt. i. 138. An interesting account of the Paschal Eggs is given in Hone's Every-Day Book, vol. i. p. 246., vol. ii. pp. 439. 450.; and in Brand's Popular Antiquities. -Marvell's reference is probably to Charles Gerard, afterwards created Baron Gerard of Brandon, gentleman of the bed-chamber to Charles II., and captain of his guards.

W. S. The lens is certainly very good; you should practise to obtain an accurate focus on the ground glass. An experienced hand will often demonstrate how much the actual sharpness of a picture depends upon nice adjustment of the focus; for though the picture looks pretty, it is not sharp in detail.

PHOTO. We hope shortly to be enabled to report upon the new paper manufacturing by Mr. Saunders for photographic purposes.

The SCALE OF PREMIUMS adopted by this Office will be found of a very moderate character, but at the same time quite adequate to the risk incurred.

FOUR-FIFTHS, or 80 per cent. of the Profits, are assigned to Policies every fifth year, and may be applied to increase the sum insured, to an immediate payment in cash, or to the reduction and ultimate extinction of future Premiums.

ONE-THIRD of the Premium on Insurances of 500l. and upwards, for the whole term of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy, to be paid off at convenience; or the Directors will lend sums of 50l. and upwards, on the security of Policies effected with this Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired an adequate value.

SECURITY. Those who effect Insurances with this Company are protected by its Subscribed Capital of 750,000l., of which nearly 140,000l. is invested, from the risk incurred by Members of Mutual Societies.

The satisfactory financial condition of the Company, exclusive of the Subscribed and Invested Capital, will be seen by the following Statement:

On the 31st October, 1853, the sums

Assured, including Bonus added, amounted to

The Premium Fund to more than And the Annual Income from the same source, to

£2,500,000 800,000 109,000

Insurances, without participation in Profits, may be effected at reduced rates.
