It was originally intended that Mr, R, P. Gil- 

 lies should be the editor of the F. Q, R. ; but 

 other occupations having prevented that gentle- 

 man from devoting adequate time and attention 

 to the arduous duties connected vrith a new pe- 

 riodical from which so much was expected, Mr. 

 Cochrane (who combined, in no ordinary degree, 

 the necessary tact and talent), stepped forward, 

 and saved the infant periodical from threatened 

 delay and difficulty, Mr, Cochrane, afterwards 

 Librarian to the London Library, was at that 

 time the active manager of Messrs. Treuttel & 

 WUrtz's foreign bookselling house, who had un- 

 dertaken to publish the Review ; and the writer 

 of this was associated with him for many years 

 in the same firm. John Macbay.

Slrange Derivation. — The following strange 

 derivation presents an amusing specimen of eccle- 

 siastical assumption in days of old : — 



" The Schoolmen (a modest race, all Clergymen.) 

 thought it was doing the laj'men too much honour to de- 

 rive their name from Aaos, populus. It suited their no- 

 tions better to deduce it from Aaa«, lapis, a stone. Take, 

 for instance, a few things advanced on this subject by 

 some celebrated doctors, as quoted by Altensfaig in his 

 Lexicon Theologkiim : ' Capitur Clericus pro viro docto, 

 scientifico, perito, scientia pleno, repleto et experto. 

 E contra, Laicus capitur pro viro indocto, imperito, in- 

 sipiente et lapideo. Unde laicus dicitur a Aaas Graece, 

 quod est lapis Latin^.' " — Campbell's Ecclesiastical Hist, 

 Lecture ix.

Svpporting the Clergy. — In 1662, the inhabit- 

 ants of Eastham, Barnstable County, Massa- 

 cliussetts, resolved in town meeting that a part 

 of every whale cast on shore should be appro- 

 priated for the support of the ministry. Uneda.

Meaning of Toy. — The word toy, I suppose, is 

 now restricted to one meaning, viz. a plaything, I 

 know not when its other meanings fell into disuse. 

 I see it defined as " humour, an odd fancy." In 

 this sense it was used by Latimer. In a sermon 

 before King Edward in 1550 he says, introducing 

 the well-known reason for the existence of Good- 

 win Sands, viz. the erection of Tenterden Steeple, 

 says, "And here, by the way, I will tell you a 

 merry toy.''' Now this use of the word continued, 

 at least till 1618, as it occurs in The Spanish
