Notes and Queries, Number 52, October 26, 1850

Notices to Correspondents

V. F. S. will find an answer to his Query respecting "Auster Tenements" in our first Vol., p. 307.

J. C., who inquires respecting the author of the oft-quoted saying, "Quem Deus vult perdere," is referred to our first Vol., pp. 347. 351. 421. 476.; and to a further illustration of it in No. 50., p. 317.

We have received "A Plan for a Church-History Society," by the Rev. Dr. Maitland, to which we will call the attention of our readers next week.

W. L. B.'s description of the coin found at Horndon is not sufficiently clear. It is, doubtless, a billon piece of the lower empire. If he will send us an impression, in sealing-wax, we may probably be enabled to give him a description of it.

Clericus. "As Lazy as Ludlam's Dog" is one of the sayings quoted by Southey in The Doctor. See, too, Notes and Queries, Vol. I., pp. 382. 475.

Armiger will find a letter addressed to him at the Publisher's.

Volume the First of Notes and Queries, with Title-page and very copious Index, is now ready, price 9s. 6d., bound in cloth, and may be had, by order, of all Booksellers and Newsmen.

The Monthly Part for October, being the Fifth of Vol. II., is also now ready, price 1s. 3d.

Errata. In No. 51. p. 347, for "θεῖον" read "θεῶν;" for "Perchi" read "Perchè;" and also the curious misprints (caused by a transposition of type) alluded to in the following note:—

"Referring to my friend R. G.'s 'Bibliographical Queries' (which are always worth referring to), will you allow me to ask yourself, and him if you cannot tell, whether it is by the mistake of your printer, or of the original one, that in the fourth Query (p. 324. line 10.) the letters of two words are so transposed that 'Vrbe germanie' is turned into 'Vrbanie germe?'"

S. R. M.In 8vo., price 6d. (by post, 8d.),

A PLAN for a CHURCH-HISTORY SOCIETY. By S. R. Maitland D.D. F.R.S. and F.A.S., sometime Librarian to the late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.

Magius, "that prodigy of learning en pure perte" (Villebrune), concludes from the words of the text "the heavens shall pass away," that the universe will be dissolved; but that it will undergo mutation only, not annihilation.—Cf. Steuches de Perenni Philosophia, lib. x.
