preserve it from putrescence. Fortunately for them- 1 

 selves, and for that part of the heathen world among | 

 whom they have laboured, and still are labouring with i 

 exemplary devotion, the Moravians were taught by 

 their assailants to correct this perilous error in lime." — 

 Vol. i. p. 173. 



He adds in a note : 



" The reader who may have perused Rimius's Nar- 

 rative of the Rise and Progress of the Herrnhuters, and 

 the ' Responsorial Letters of the Theological Faculty 

 of Tiibingen ' annexed to it [the 2nd edition was 

 published London, 1753J, will not think this language 

 too strong." 



In the Appendix, p. 48 L, Soutliey further says : 

 " The most characteristic parts of tlie Moravian 

 hymns are too shocking to be inserted here : even in the 

 Immours and extravagances of the Spanish religious 

 poets there is nothing which approaches to the mon- 

 strous perversion of religious feeling in these astonish- 

 ing productions. The copy which I possess is of the 

 third edition printed for James Hutton, 1746. An 

 interesting account of James Hutton, who published 

 the Moravian Hymns, may be seen in the great collection 

 of Literary Anecdotes by Mr. Nichols, vol. iii. p. 435. 

 Of their silliness I subjoin only such a specimen as may 

 be read without offence : — 



• What is now to children the dearest thing here ? 

 To be the Lamb's lambkins and chickens most dear; 

 Such lambkins are nourished with food which is best, 

 Such chickens sit safely and warm in the nest.' ' 



' And when Satan at an hour 

 Comes our chickens to devour, 

 Let the children's angels say, 

 These are Christ's chicks — go thy way.' 

 " Yet even the Moravian Hymns are equalled by a 

 poem of Manchester manufacture, in the Gospel Maga- 

 zine for August, 1808, entitled the ' Believer's Mar- 

 riage in Christ.'" — Southey's Life of Wesley.

Tnveni portum (Vol. v., p. 10.). — This couplet, 

 ■which occurs at the close of the second volume of 

 Gil Bias, is a version of the following Greek epi- 

 gram among those of uncertain authors in the 

 Anthulogia :

It is a slight alteration of the translation given 

 by William Lilly, Sir Thomas More's friend and 



schoolfellow, and occurs, with Sir Tliomas More's 

 version, in the Progymnasmata prefixed to the 

 first edition of More's Epigrams, a very elegant 

 volume, printed under the care ofBeatus Rhinanus 

 by Frobenius, at Basle, in 1520 : small 4to. The 

 frontispiece is by Holbein : 



" T. Mom DE CoNTEMPTu Fortune. 

 "Jam portum inveni, Spes et Fortuna valete. 

 Nil mihi vobiscum est, ludite nunc alios." 



" G. LiLii. 

 " Inveni portum. Spes et Fortuna valete. 

 Nil mihi vobiscum, ludite nunc alios." 



There is a longer epigram, also by an uncertain 

 author, in the First Book of the Anthologia, the 

 first lines of which differ but slightly, it run* 

 thus : 



'EAirly koL <tu Tux'?> Mfy X*"'?*'''*' '''V °^^'' f^po"'

The epigram has been very frequently translated. 

 We have Latin versions by W. Morel, Grotius, 

 and others ; and several Italian and French ver- 

 sions. Mr. Merlvale has thus rendered it : 

 *' Fortune and Hope farewell ! I've found the port: 



You've done with me: go now, with others sport !'* 



Tliomas Moore has given us a spirited para- 

 phrase of it. S. W. Singer. 

 Manor Place, South Lambeth, 



Quarter Waggoner (Vol. v., p. 11.). — As the 

 editor, in the exercise of his official functions, may 

 class this scrap with the Replies, it cannot be 

 amiss to state that I offer its contents as mere 

 conjectures. 



In the Sea grammar of captain John Smith, 

 which was published in 1627, we have a list of 

 books adapted to the use of those who would learn 

 to observe the altitude, to prick their card, or say 

 their compass. It is as follows : 



"Master Wrights Errours of nauigation. Master 

 Tapps Sea-mans kalender. The art of nauigation. 

 The sea regiment. The sea-mans secret. Waggoner, 

 Master Gunters workes. The sea-mans glasse for the 

 scale. The new attracter for variation. Master 

 Wright for vse of the globe. Master Hewes for the 

 same." 



It thus appears that Waggoner was either the 

 title of a book, or the name of an author ; and we 

 may infer, from the absence of particulars, that it; 

 was quite familiar to the seamen of that period — 

 as much so as Charles'' -wain. May it not indicate 

 Lucas Jansz Wagenaer of Enchuisen, author of 

 the Spieghel der zeevaerdt, or mirror of navigation, 

 published at Leyden in 1585. Tiie Spieghel 

 became a standard work ; and a translation of it 

 by Anthony Ashley was printed at London, with 

 a dedication to sir Christopher Hatton, about the 

 year 1588. Mr, Joseph Ames, who gives the title
