Carthaginian Passage in Plaulus (2°^ S.vii, 393.) 

 — The most recent books for reference are the 

 Palceographia of Gesenius (Leipzig, 1835, 4to.) ; 

 his Sc7'iptur(E LingucBque PhcenicicB Monumenta, 

 &c. (Leipzig, 1837, 4to.) ; also the Foreign Quar- 

 terly Review, No. xliii. p. 445.) For the Poenulus 

 in particular consult Bellerman's Versuch in Pa- 

 nulus dcs Plautns zu erklaren (Berlin, 1809, 8vo.), 

 and Vallancey's Essay on the Antiquity of the 

 Irish Language (Dublin, 1772, 8vo.). These 

 authorities, however, are only of value when 

 treading in the ■steps of Bochart's Canaan. It 

 may be proper to add that, in addition to the 

 Carthaginian (v. 1.) interpreted by Hebrew, there 

 are si.K lines in Lybian not yet recognised ; but it 

 is clear they are merely a repetition of the Car- 



thaginian and Latin, from the proper names of 

 Antidamas and Agorastodes occurring in this un- 

 known tongue; and that it was a kindred dialect 

 appears from the commencing words being very 

 like to the Carthaginian. T. J. Buckton. 



Lichfield. 



The latest edition of Plautus will perhaps sup- 

 ply the most recent interpretation of the Cartha- 

 ginian passage. But the best dissertation on the 

 subject is probably that of Gesenius, the first of 

 Hebrew lexicographers, in his valuable work 

 Scripturce Linguceque Phoenicice Monumenta quotquot 

 supersnnt, 4to., Lipsiae, sumptibus Vogelii, 1837. 

 See pp. 357 — 373., in which Gesenius, after giving 

 an account of previous translations, and of the 

 different readings of the passage in yarious manu- 

 scripts, offers his own interpretation, with notes of 

 considerable length. E. T. 



John Rutty, M.D. (2"'^ S. vii. 147. 264.)— 

 Whether the Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical 

 Science was right in this particular instance in 

 giving Dr. Rutty's Membership in the Society of 

 Friends as a reason for not furnishing his portrait 

 or not, I cannot say, but certainly there are quite 

 sufficient portraits of celebrated Friends published 

 to prove that they have no scruple against such a 

 practice, e. g. J. J. Gurney, Samuel Gurney, 

 Elizabeth Fry, Dr. Fothergill, Richard Reynolds, 

 Wm. Allen, Peter Collinson, Joseph Sturge.

Nathaniel Hoohe, the Roman Historian (2'"* S. vii. 

 375.) — There is a notice of Hooke and his writ- 

 ings in Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, vol. ii. pp. 

 606—617, A brief account of the Fasti Capi- 

 tolini may be found in Dr. Smith's Diet, of Ant., 

 art. Fasti. A complete edition of them, with the 

 last discovered fragment, was published by J. G. 

 Baiter, at Zurich, in 1838. L. 



Quotation Wanted (2"^ S. vii. 376.) — The lines 

 of which your correspondent is in search are iden- 

 tified with two of our greatest modern poets. 

 They form the motto of Sir Walter Scott's ro- 

 mance of Rob Roy, and are to be found in Words- 

 worth's poem, " Rob Roy's Grave : " — 

 " For why? because the good old rule 

 Sufficeth them, the simple plan, 

 That they should take, who have the power, 

 And they should keep, who can."

Old Style. — In illustration of what you men- 

 tion (2"'' S. vi. 526) as to the superstitious cling- 

 ing of poor people to the Old Style, I can assure 

 you that the preference for the Old Style is far 

 from extinct. I met an old man only three or 

 four years ago, who, on my remarking that it was 

 cold weather for April, informed me that he be- 

 lieved it to be " God Almighty's March :" for that 

 he remembered how his old mother used to tell
