" Ooing the whole hog'' (1"' S. iii. 224, 250. ;

« As when two lores, with rancling malice melt, 

 Their gory sides fresh bleeding fiercely frett ; 

 Til breathlesse both themselves aside retire, 

 Where, foming wrath, their cruell tuskes they wett, 

 And trample th' earth, the whiles they may respire ; 

 [ Then backe to fight againe, new breathSd and entire" 

 Faerie Queene, Book I. Canto n. stanza 44. 

 Is this the origin of the phrase, " to go the 

 whole hog ?" And, If so, why is " hog" the word 

 used instead of " boar" ? X. X. X. 



Translation ly Word of different Meaning. — 

 The Greek word ^oiov, meaning anything that has 

 life, living being, is generally rendered animal, 

 which with us means also material being. Look- 

 ing over the recent translation of Aristotle's Me- 

 taphysics, I came upon the assertion that "man, 

 horse, god, .... all are animals." I felt sure that 

 the word god could be nothing but a misplacement 

 of letters in the word dog. But on looking at the 

 text of Aristotle, I find that there is no mistake, 

 unless it be the rendering of ^aov by animal. Per- 

 haps some who have not the text at hand may find 

 a difficulty which a short note will prevent. M. 



Quotation Wanted : " Myriads of spiritual 

 creatures," Sfc. — Can you favour me with the 

 source of the following line : — 



" Myriads of spiritual creatures walk the earth."

Crown in the Fratry at Westminster. — 



" Caxton's Chronicle declareth how that in the Pari*, 

 while the Commons of the realm were assembled in the 

 Common House (a.d. 1460), communing and treating 

 upon the title of the said Duke of Yorke, suddenly fell 

 down the crowne which hung in the midst of the said 

 house, which was the Fratry of the Abbey of Westmin- 

 ster." — Stow. 



Can any of your readers throw light on this 

 remarkable incident ? or the place where it hap- 

 pened ? Was the " crowne " a Corona Lucis ? 

 and what is the " Fratry " ? * F. H. W.

The foregoing is the title of a folio volume 

 which I met with the other day. I should be glad 

 if you would inform me, through the medium of 

 your pages, whether the work is at all rare. 



L. A. N. 



[This work, by Sir John Davies, the " sweet poet " and 

 " grave lawyer," is more curious than rare, as being the 

 first reports of Irish judgments which had ever been 

 made public, during the four hundred years that the 

 laws of England had existed in that kingdom. The first 

 edition was in French, Dublin, 1615, fol. It has been 

 translated into English, Dublin, 1762, 8vo. For some 

 particulars of the author see our 1*' S. iii. 82. 336. &c.]

 me where the scene of the following play is laid ?

 phia Dramatica the piece is said to have been

JOHN EVERABD, 



(2°<» S. iv, 366.) 



I have looked every week for a reply to the 

 Query about Dr, Everard, having for years been 

 wishful to obtain information about him. I have 

 no access to Wood, Athen. Oxon., and am conse- 

 quently ignorant of what is said of him there, I 

 have two copies of his posthumous works (one 

 very imperfect), consisting of sermons and trans- 

 lations. It is a badly printed volume of mystical 

 divinity, entitled 



" The Gospel Treasury Opened, or the Holiest of all un- 



vailing , by John Everard, D.D., diseased. 



The second edition very much enlarged. Whereunto is 

 added the Mystical divinity of Dionysius the Areopagite 

 spoken of Acts 17, 34., with collections out of other Di- 

 vine Authors, translated By Dr. Everard, never before 

 printed in English. London: Benj. Clark, in George 

 Yard, in Lumbard Street, 1679." 



The first edition was published in 1657. One 

 of the translations is the first one alluded to by 

 Messes. Cooper, or perhaps part of it. There 

 is no detailed biography, but some slight notices 

 of him are given in the address to the reader by 

 R(apha) H(arford).
