May ^ ask what is known of Major Drewe's 

 pamphlet, in which he says he was the " only son 

 of a gentleman family," and though offered " by 

 his parents every independence- to quit the army," 

 still preferred remaining with his corps, and went 

 with it to Boston. Major Drewe had the freedom 

 of the city of Exeter presented to him in 1775, 

 but in 1780 was cashiered by a court martial.

Malta. 



[According to Watt, Edward Drewe was author of 

 Military Sketches, 8vo., 1784. His Case is not in the 

 British Museum.] 



'^Luther's Hymn" (2°'» S. iv. 151.) — In Dr. 

 CoUyer's Collection of Hymns (Longman & Co. 

 1812), the following note is appended by the 

 editor to " Luther's Hymn," which is there ex- 

 tended to four verses ; the second of which, " The 

 dead in Christ are first to rise," and the fourth, 

 modified by some subsequent hand, are now found 

 in almost all Collections. 



" This hymn, which is adapted to Luther's celebrated 

 tune, is universally ascribed to that great man. As I 

 never saw more than this first verse, 1 was obliged to 

 lengthen it for the completion of the subject, and am re- 

 sponsible for the verses which follow." 



Montgomery in his Christian Psalmist ascribes 

 the first verse to Luther. I have, however, been 

 unable to find any German original, and of course 

 am ignorant of the presumed translator.

 respecting the authorship of the following hymns ?

''Kynvyn" not '^Kymyn" (2"-^ S. iv. 172.) — 

 The name engraved on the horologe of the Earl of 

 Essex and Ewe is " James Kynvyn fecit 1593,"

" The Merry Bells of England" (2"^ S. iv. 29. 

 58.) — The changes, in verse, rung upon the 

 merry bells of England are rather numerous — I 

 can lay my hand on the following, which appears 

 to correspond pretty closely in sentiment with the 

 lines H. refers to. I have not the author's name, 

 but the words are set to music published by 

 Ransford and Co. 



" The merry bells of England, how I like to hear them 



sound 

 The gladsome chime of oldeu time, that spreadeth joy 



around ; 

 They ring from moss-clad steeples, amid the cottage 



band. 

 And send their sounds of revelry o'er all our happy 



land. 

 « They sound from stately edifice, from many an old 



church tower, 

 The rich and poor alike can feel the influence of their 



power. 

 To every heart their tones impart fond memory's dearest 



spells, 

 For a Briton's native music is Old England's merry 



bells. 

 " Oh, the merry bells of England ! their chimes ring loud 



and free. 

 To hail again, of land or main, some well-fought vic- 

 tory : 

 For England's brave, in honour's grave, their music 



seems to say, 

 ' The memory of your glorious deeds shall never pass 



away.' 

 « And oft too ring the village bells, to hail the wedded 



pair. 

 When nuptial vows the twain have bound, love's heart 



and home to share. 

 There's not a sound can e'er resound, in which such 



rapture dwells. 

 As in Britain's native music, Old England's merry bells.
