NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 166. 



correct answer. The following quotation from the 

 Summa of St. Thomas Aquinas will resolve it as 

 far as your querist W. is concerned : 



" Similiter autem Forma mutaretur, si diceretur 

 * Ego baptizo me;' et ideo nuUus potest baptizare 

 seipsum propter quod et Christus a Joanne voluit 

 baptizari." — Summa, 3"» Pars, Quaestio Ixvi. Art. v. 

 Arg. 4. 



The Rev. A. Gatty, while right in the negative 

 answer which he gives to the question of W., is 

 quite wrong in the reasons on which he founds it. 

 "Christian fellowship" is not of necessity a re- 

 quisite for administering the sacrament of holy 

 baptism. I quote again from the Summa of St. 

 Thomas : 



" Ad primum ergo dicendum, quod Baptismum a 

 schismaticis recipere non licet, nisi in articulo neces- 

 sitatis : quia melius est de hac vita cum signo Chbisti 

 exire, a quocumque detur, etiam si sit Judseus vel Pa- 

 ganus, quam sine hoc signo, quod per Baptismum con- 

 fertur." — Summa, 2'"'* Pars, Q,ua;stio xxxix. Art. iv. 

 Arg. 1. 



As our own Church apparently only recognises 

 sacerdotal baptism in her formularies, in answer- 

 ing such a question as that of W. we must have 

 recourse to the schoolmen and casuists of earlier 

 times. W. Frasbr.

We have this week been compelled to omit our usual Notes on 

 BooK.s, %c. 



W. W. (Malta) is thanked for his suggestion. We fear, how- 

 ever, that the difficulties in the way of carrying it oat, which are 

 far more than he suspects, will still prevent our doing so, as we 

 have often desired. 



Pbter the Saxonian is referred to our 1st Vol., p. 102., where 

 he will find that both Blair and Campbell were anticipated by 

 Norris ofBemerton, who sang of 



" Angels' visits, short and bright." 



R. 6. L. The meaning and derivation of Ditto are obvious. 

 It means " the same,"/jOOT the Italian ditto, the said. 



Touchstone. Music is sometimes engraved, sometimes printed 

 from moveable tppes. 



3. C., who inquires whether Shelley first imagined the name of 

 Mab, has, we fear, never read Shakspeare's Romeo and Juliet, or 

 Merculio's account qf " the Fairie's midwife." We almost envy 

 him. 



F. R. S..(Barkisland). His Query shall appear, and we think 

 we may promise him a full and satisfactory Reply. 



H. C. K., and other Correspondents respecting the inscription 

 at Dewsbury, are thanked. 



A. B. The line 



" And coming events cast their shadows before," 

 is from Campbell's Lochiel's Warning-. 



H. B. C. The Correspondent to whom H. B. C. refers us fur- 

 nished his name and address. But perhaps our Correspondent's 

 Reply had better appear. 



W. H. T. (Salisbury). Ophiomaches was written hi/ the Rev. 

 PhiUp Skelton. See further our No. 157., p. 415. The fither 

 Queries shall have early attention. 



D'Oyley and Mant's Commentary. With reference to our 

 Note in No. 157., a Correspondent informs us that an edition is 

 now publishing in Parts at 6d. each, by Strange. 



Photooraphy. Owing to the length of Dr. Diamond's direc- 

 tions for the Paper Process in our present No., we are compelled 

 to postpone many interesting comjnunications . Dr. Diamond'* 

 former articles are contained in our Nos. 151, 1.52, 153. and 155. 

 All our Nos., however, subsequent to \i^.,contain communications 

 on this interesting subject. 



The Index and Title-page to our Sixth Volume will be ready 

 very shortly. 



Back Numbers of Notes and Queries. Full Price will be 

 given for clean copies qfNos. 27, 28, 29, 30. 59, 60, and 61. 



" Notes and Queries " is published at noon on Friday, so that 

 the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcel, 

 and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.
