NOTES AND QUERIES. 



179 



Office of the Passion of Christ, compiled for St. 

 Louis ; On the Government of the Soul ; Medita- 

 tions for each Day in the Week ; Brevioloquium ; 

 Itinerarium Mentis in Deum ; On the Poverty of 

 the Lord Jesus ; The Life of St. Francis ; and The 

 Life of Christ ; Mi?'ror of the Virgin. St. Bona- 

 venture died during the Council of Lyons in 1274 ; 

 therefore the statement that a portion of his works 

 was finished in 1484 is sadly incorrect. F. C. H. 



Gaimtlope (2"^ S. viii. 132.) — Mr. Ingram, one 

 of the survivors of the wreck of the Royal George 

 in 1782, who died within these few years at 

 Woodford, near Berkeley, in Gloucestershire, 

 told me that he had seen sailors on board the 

 king's ships "run the gauntlope" in several in- 

 stances. His description of it accorded exactly 

 with that ante p. 132. ; but he added that, to pre- 

 vent the patient going too fast, the ship's corporal 

 walked before him with his drawn cutlas under 

 his arm, with the point backwards ; and that he 

 had seen one man, in his too great eagerness to 

 escape the switches, press too forward, and get a 

 scratch from the point of the corporal's cutlas.

Etoccetum (2°"* S. vli. 256.) — The derivation of 

 this name of a Roman station from the Greek 

 (tokoItohv, " the year's rest," is the equivalent to 

 071711 quies mentioned by Tacitus (Agricola, 18.) as 

 the " year's rest " which the Roman soldiers had 

 assured themselves of, but which he characterises 

 as " a heavy obstacle, and very discouraging to 

 one" who, like Agricola, " was commencing war " 

 ("tarda et contraria bellum inchoaturo"). At 

 this period (a.d. 78) the Greek language was 

 very common in Rome ; and it is not improbable 

 that Agricola, the father-in-law of Tacitus, may 

 have imposed this name, Etoccetum, on the Roman 

 station at Wall in Staffordshire. T. J. Buckton. 



Lichfield. 



Quotation Wanted (2°'^ S. v. 358.)— The quo- 

 tation 



" Nomina si nescis, perit et cognitio rerum," 

 or better — 



" Nomina si pereant, perit et cognitio rerum," 



I have seen ascribed to Linnaeus. It occurred in 



association with another sentiment of Linnaeus's : 



" Primus gradus sapientiaj est res ipsas nosse." 



OZMOND. 



Quotation Wanted (2°^ S. viii. 69. 119.) — The 

 passage in Tillotson is taken from Hobbes, who 

 says, " Setting themselves against reason, as oft 

 as reason is against them." {Works, iii. p. 91. ed. 

 1839). And again, "In which as oft as reason is 

 against a man, so oft will a man be against reason." 

 (Epistle Dedicatory to Tripos, Human Nature, 

 Works, iv. xiii.) T. J. Buckton.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



An Introduction to the Evidences of Cliristlanity. By 

 J. 0. Halliwell, F.R.S. Second Edition. (Longmans.) 



A very thoughtful and well-considered manual ; indi- 

 cating on the part of its author a careful study of the 

 most ancient monuments of Christianity, and a just ap- 

 preciation of those objections to its truth which carry 

 most force at the present day. We heartily welcome Mr. 

 Halliwell into this new field of labour. 



The Invasion of Britain by Julius Ccesar. By Thomas 

 Lewin, Esq., M.A. (Longmans.) 



That the earliest recorded incident in the history of 

 these islands — their invasion by Julius Cassar — should 

 from time to time excite the curiosity and employ the 

 learned leisure of scholars, cannot be matter of surprise. 

 VVithin these few j'ears the Astronomer Royal has con- 

 tributed to the Archaologia a most valuable paper, in 

 which he sought to show that Cassar sailed from the 

 estuary of the Somrae and landed at Pevensey ; and we
