Chapel, &c.,) preached a sermon twice in verse in Bromley chapel, co. Kent. The second occasion was at "the particular desire" of his congregation. Portions of this production the author read to my father and myself, and we both advised him to print the sermon. I am inclined to think that it was printed, and the profits arising therefrom given to some charitable institution connected with the chapel; which was a pet child of Mr. Bromley's, as he wished to be known (as he phrased it) as "Mr. Bromley of Bromley Chapel, Bromley, Kent." Mr. Bromley in early life was an auctioneer. After retiring from business, he was the chief promoter of the construction of Bromley Chapel, where he preached for many years. Mr. Bromley was the cause of the public obtaining free admission into St. Mary's Chapel, in Moor Fields. Previously to his taking legal proceedings, entrance into that sacred fane could only be had by a cash payment. A notice of two of Mr. Bromley's publications will be found in J. Russell Smith's Bibliotheca Cantiana. The latter one contains the history of the differences between the pastor and his flock (p. 105). ALFRED JOHN DUNKIN. ALVOISE CONTARINI (3rd S. vii. 220.) — I am much obliged to the editor for the reference in his note to my query. I find that my list, as far as it goes, is correct; and I have been told that Alvoise is no more than a form of Luigi. Ludovicus, Ludwig, Louis, Lewis, Luigi, Aluisi, Aloise, Alvoise, Aloysius. Is Aluisi (or any name of the sort to take its place in the above string) known as a Christian name? Alvizzo, which I thought was Alvoise, is, I fancy, a family name. JOHN DAVIDSON.

F. P. L. DONKEY (3rd S. vi. 432.)-Is not this word merely a corruption of Fr. donc, from the common ejaculation addressed to animals by their drivers, "Marche donc," misinterpreted for joke, as "Get on, Donk"? There is a vehicle in Canada, which, from the same expression, is called a marche-donc. P. The one with which I have met is Bernardino Baldi, of whom it is recorded that he held lineage from a noble family, A.D. 1553. Having completed in his native land the course of elementary studies, he seemed to feel a special inclination for medical science. So his father sent him to the University of Padua, where he applied himself to everything else than medicine. He is said to have traced an encyclopædia of subjects of study, always excepting those of Hippocrates. Ile busied his mind with logic, mathematics, jurisprudence, and languages, of which latter he is said to have mastered fourteen. After this, clerical and pastoral engagements engrossed his fervent care. He produced various noble works in prose and verse, orations, idyls, &c. To cut short a biography of no small interest and moral worth, I offer the sequel and close in Tuscan tongue, from Costantini's Scelta di Poesie Italiane: "Nella sua patria di Urbino, il 10 Octobre del 1617, chiuse il Baldi con morte assai pia una vita integerrima. Il genio enciclopedico di Monsignor Bernardino (Baldi) di- | vagò intorno ad una soverchia varietà di fiori, così che ebbe in parte difetto di squisitezza il mele ch' ei distillò. Potrebbe egli figurar nobilmente come poeta, se lo stile non di rado raffinato e concettoso non gli scemasse una parte di merito. Egli in poesia fu assai fecondo, e scrisse prosopopeje di eroi romani, epistole, madrigali, epitaffi, concetti morali, etc.-oltre alcuni poemi in versi sciolti." S. C. FREEMAN. Adelaide House, 148, Highbury New Park, N. HÆVER, AEVER, OR EAVER (3rd S. vii. 258.)May not this be merely a peculiar pronunciation of ever, so that the inquiry would be in plain English, "Whatever is the wind in this morning?" that is, whatever point of the compass, or in whatever direction? F. C. H. were originally the same, and that the two families are both descended from the same stock. The assertion ran to the effect, that the name of the remote ancestor was written Careu, which, in Welsh, was pronounced pretty much as the modern word Cary or Carey; hence the name Carey, by those who followed sound only. On the other hand, others articulated the Welsh word more after an Anglicised bias, sounding the last letter u as an English w, thereby making it Caroo. A name pronounced Caroo would naturally be written Carew, differing only in its last letter from its infantine construction. I should like to know whether there is any philological or historical truth in all this. P. HUTCHINSON. JOHNSONIANA: CONTINUITY (3rd S. vii. 6, 42, 123.)— 66 Leibnitz di Lipsia sino dal 1693 avesse fatto presentire nel mondo materiale e morale la grande legge di continuità nell' infinito del tempo o dello spazio." Idea fondamentale e bisogno d'una Storia delle Storie. See article in "Il Politecnico," Gennaio, 1865. The Abbé Draghesti, in his Dissertazioni Psicologiche, asserts that the celebrated scholar, Pontanus (1426-1503), was the first who called attention to the law of continuity; and was also the first among the moderns who revived the opinion of Democritus on the subject of the milky way, he maintained to be composed of an infinite num ber of small stars. Oxford. which J. MACRAY. RAGUSA (3rd S. vii. 180, 265.)--The arms given on the silver ducat and a half that I have of Ragusa, differ from those mentioned by MR. WOODWARD, being Barry of eight, argent and gules; perhaps they are the arms of the governor (1773), whose bust is on the obverse. Was Ragusa ever independent of Venice? As MR. WOODWARD has been so kind as to answer my query and as he has given me an extract from a German work on heraldry, may I ask him what heraldic word have we for that trian "BIS DAT QUI CITO DAT?" (3rd S. vii. 265.) This maxim comes from the famous poet, Publius Syrus, who flourished at Rome in the reign of Julius Cæsar, and supplanted Laberius in his favour. He has another proverb somewhat similar: "Bis est gratum, quod opus est, ultro si offeras." F. C. H. CARABOO (3rd S. vii. 269.)—I have no doubt the real name of this impostor was Mary Baker. We are told that after her exposure she went to America, where she remained about seven years, when she returned to England, and exhibited in New Bond Street, London, from whence she made her way westward. The last I heard of her was that she married, and once more took up her residence in this city, where her latter days were spent very creditably as an importer of leeches, and in applying them when requested by her customers. She appears to have died about the close of the year 1864, leaving an only LYTTELTON states accurately the clergy's right to TITHE BARNS (3rd S. vii. 137, 249.) — Lord daughter.

THOMAS E. WINNINGTON. treasures of the German hymnologists to English religionists. The popularity of Miss Winkworth's Lyra Germanica has called forth the present volume, which abounds in biographical notices of the principal German hymn writers, and notices of remarkable occasions on which the hymns have at times been used. dependently therefore of its own merits, the work has scarcely secondary value as an illustration of Miss Wink THOMAS BILBIE (3rd S. vii. 240.)-In the List of Bell Founders, printed in the first volume of the Wilts Magazine, Mr. Lukes has given "Thomas Bilbie" as a bell-founder, 1746, at Kew- or Chew-worth's deservedly popular book. stoke, near Bristol.

Illustrated in a plain explanatory Comment, and by Authentic Views of Places mentioned in the Text, from Sketches and Photographs taken on the Spot. Edited by Edward Churton, M.A., and William Basil Jones, M.A. In Two Volumes. (Murray.) This beautiful edition has been produced for the purpose of furnishing such a plain explanatory comment, that any portion selected for daily reading might be found so far historically, critically, or doctrinally interpreted, as to leave the words of the sacred lesson itself first and last in the reader's mind. Its illustrations are, for the most part, true and accurate views of the places which they represent as they exist at the present day, taken from sketches or photographs made on the spot; and they are introduced from the conviction, that "it surely lends vividness to the impression with which we read the New Testament, to find the fisherman still casting his net into the Sea of Galilee-the women of Palestine still grinding at the mill, or lighting the oven with grass from the field." In the panoramic illustrations--so beautiful in themselves, and so appropriately introduced-the journeys of Our Lord around the shores of the Sea of Tiberias, from Galilee and Nazareth to Jerusalem, and from Bethany to Jerusalem, may partly at least be traced. Mr. Murray modestly describes this beautiful New Testament Illustrated as a Book for Easter- it is more, it is a Book for all Time. With Historical Notes to the Lyra Germanica: containing Brief Memoirs of the Authors of the Hymns therein translated, and Notices of Remarkable Occasions on which some of them or any of their Verses have been used. Notices of other German Hymn Writers represented in other English Collections. Compiled and translated from authentic German Sources. By Theodore Kübler. (Longman.) It was a saying of Coleridge, "That Luther had done as much for the Reformation by his hymns as by his translation of the Bible ;" and there can be little doubt as to the good service rendered to the cause of religion and piety by the hymn writers, both of Germany and of this country. In the preface to the present work the author tells us, that the earliest attempts at introducing the German hymns to the religious world of England were made by the brothers John and Charles Wesley; who were for a time intimately connected with the Moravians, when Count Zinzendorf and A. G. Spangenberg first came over to this country. And many will be surprised to hear that some of the most effective and popular of Wesley's hymns, are translations from the German. In more recent times, F. E. Cox, the Rev. A. T. Russell, Mr. Massie, and more especially Miss Winkworth, have opened the In Israel in the Wilderness; or Gleanings from the Scenes of the Wanderings. With an Essay on the true Date of Korah's Rebellion. By the Rev. Charles Forster, B.D., Rector of Stisted, Essex. (Bentleys, 1865.) This is a work which will be read with much interest by all who hang fondly over every detail of Holy Scripture, and delight to identify every spot, and verify every circumstance connected with the Exodus of the Israelites. Mr. Forster stoutly insists, that the mysterious inscriptions of the Peninsula of Sinai are the Jews' own record Maghara is the emblem of the wanderers in the wilderof their sojourn there. The sculptured ostrich of Djebel ness; the corpses of those that died in the plague of Kibroth-Hattaavah were interred in the cemetery of Sarbut-el Khadem; the "quails," after which the people lusted, are figured on the tombstones there; and whereas it is said that Eldad and Medad "were of them that were written " (Num. xi. 26), the true meaning is, that they were engaged on the inscriptions. We cannot say that Mr. Forster's arguments are as convincing as his subject is interesting. And he surely strains a point when he appeals to the poetic strains of Moses' song, and of the later Psalms, as literal descriptions of the passage of the Red Sea and the "smiting of the rock." The Books of the Vaudois. The Waldensian Manuscripts preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin. With an Appendix containing a Correspondence (reprinted from the British Magazine) on the Poems of the Poor of Lyons, the Antiquity and Genuineness of the Waldensian Literature, and the supposed loss of the Morland MSS. at Cambridge; with Mr. Bradshaw's Paper on his recent discovery of them. By James Henthorn Todd, D.D., &c. (Macmillan & Co.) All who have studied the history of the Waldenses know how much depends upon the age of the tract called Qual Cosa sia l'Antichrist, and of the vain endeavours which have been made to discover the MS. of it which Morland deposited in the Public Library of Cambridge. They will also remember the interesting correspondence connected with this subject between Dr. Todd, Dr. Gilly, Dr. Maitland, and the Hon. Algernon Herbert in the British Magazine. Of these correspondents, Dr. Todd says truly, "Never were men more honestly in search of truth, or more ready to embrace what they discovered of it, in defiance of all consequences." But the learned Doctor tells us, that while all this correspondence was going on, the supposed missing volumes were lying unknown and buried in their dust untouched for upwards of 200 years Mr. on the very shelf where Morland placed them. Bradshaw's account of their discovery and description of the tiny MS. volumes of which they consist is not the least of the many interesting papers which the present volume contains.

The first an appeal to the nation, and the last a representation to Parliament, unsuccessfully claiming indemnification for the sacrifices he had made for the public benefit. With his literary contemporaries he was in no better odour. John Dunton says, "Povey not only steals my projects, but reprints those very questions and answers I formerly published in The Athenian Oracle," in his General Remark upon Trade; which last publication was in rivalry, I think, of Defoe. He envied the popularity of Addison and Steele, and clumsily imitated the Spectator and Tatler in his Visions of Sir Heister Ryley; in his Virgin in Eden, he attacks Pamela ; and, indeed, managed to render himself so unpopular that another of his complaints is, that the false wits were down upon every move he made, "taking the liberty to brand me with the odd characters of Maggot, Projector, Madman, or worse titles." Povey was, nevertheless, a man before On paying a visit to the Probate Office lately, of them may be, suggested many social improveage in some respects, and crude though some I had the curiosity to look up the last will and testament of this "extremely foresighted, thought-ments; professing a large philanthropy, and ful, but eccentric man," as he is styled in the new very latitudinarian views upon religious matOur subject was, moreover, an outrageous edition of Lowndes, and carried away in my memory as much of the curious contents as it would egotist; his works being filled with the most carry; particularly the fact, that the testator di- amusingly self-complacent examples of what he rected its publication in the daily papers twice had done "to promote virtue, loyalty, wit, honour, within a month after his decease, which appears truth, and moderation; and to extinguish vice, to have occurred on April 2, 1743.* At the Mu- rebellion, bribery, pride, and ambition:" to say seum to-day I sought and discovered the docu- nothing of his magnified labours to ameliorate the condition of the poor, both physically and ment in the London Daily Post of the 1st and 8th July of that year; but on perusal, found it de- mentally.
