length of time, but should be kept in a paper, and 

 away from any considerable degree of light. 



Bishop JuxorCs Account of Vendible Books in 

 England (Vol. vi., pp. 515. 592.). — The following 

 note in Wilson's History of the Merchant Taylors' 

 School, p. 783., solves the Query respecting the 

 authorship of this bibliographical work. 



" The Catalogue of Books in England alphabetically 

 digested, printed at London, 1658, 4to., is ascribed to 

 Bishop Juxon in Osborne's Catalogue for 1755, p. 40. 

 But, as Mr. Watts, the judicious librarian of Sion 

 College, has observed to me, this is no authority, the 

 Epistle Dedicatory bearing internal evidence against 

 it. The author's name was William London, whence 

 arose the mistake ! "

Dutensiana (Vol. vi., p. 376. ; Vol. vii., p. 26.). — 

 The following statement, extracted from Querard's 

 France Litteraire, sub voce Dutens, will account 

 for the discrepancies mentioned by youi^ corre- 

 spondents with reference to the works of Louis 

 Dutens. 



Dutens published three volumes of Memoirs, 

 which he afterwards committed to the flames, out 

 of consideration for certain living characters. He 

 then published, in three volumes, his Memoires 

 dun Voyageur qui se repose, the two first con- 

 taining the author's life, and the third being the 

 Didensiana. 



Your correspondent W. (Vol. vi., p. 376.) says 

 that Dutens published at Geneva, in six volumes 

 4to., with prefaces, the entire works of Leibnitz. 

 This statement is thus qualified by the BiograpMe 

 TJniverselle : 



" L. Dutens est I'Editeur de Leibnitii opera omnia, 

 mais c'est a. tort que quelques bibliographes lui attri- 

 buent les Institutions Leibnitiennes. Cet ourrage est 

 fie I'Abbe Sigorgne." 



The same correspondent inquires whether Du- 

 tens was not also the author of Correspondence 

 interceptee : and Sir W. C. Trevelyan (Vol. vii., 

 p. 26.) says he had seen a presentation copy of it, 

 although it is not included in the list of Dutens' 

 Works given by Lowndes. 



This is explained by the fact that the work, 

 originally published under the title of Corre- 

 spondence interceptee, was afterwards embodied in 

 the Memoires dun Voyageur. Lowndes seems to 

 have had no knowledge of it as a separate pub- 

 lication. Hekry H. Breen. 



St. Lucia. 



Vicars- Apostolic (Vol. vii., pp. 309, 310.). — 

 Allow me to correct an error or two in my list of 



the vicars-apostolic, which appeared in your l78th 

 Number, p. 309. The three archpriests were ap* 

 pointed to their ofiice, not consecrated. 



P. 309. — Northern District. Bishop Witham was 

 consecrated 1703, not 1716. He was translated 

 from the Midland to the Northern District in 1716. 



P. 310. — In the list of the present Roman Ca- 

 tholic prelates in England and Wales, the bishops 

 — from Archbishop Wiseman to Bishop Ilendrea 

 inclusive — were translated in 1850, not consecrated.

Tombstone in Churchyard (Vol. vii., p. 331.). — 

 In Ecclesfield churchyard is the following inscrip- 

 tion, cut in bold capitals, and as legible as when 

 the slab was first laid down : 



«' Here lieth the bodie of Richard Lord, late Vicar oT 

 Ecclesfield, 1600." 



If, however, A. C.'s Query be not limited to 

 slabs in the open air, he will probably be inte- 

 rested by the following, copied by me from the 

 floors of the respective churches, which are all in 

 this neighbourhood. The first is from the unused 

 church of St. John at Laughton-le-Morthing, near 

 Roche Abbey, and is, according to Mr. Hunter, 

 one of the earliest specimens of a monumental in- 

 scription in the vernacular : 



" Here lyeth Robt. Dinningto' and Alis his wyfe. 

 Robert dyed 1 y^ fest of San James M""" ccc ilij"" xiij™* 

 Alis dyed o' Tisday 1 Pas. Woke, a" Dni M" cccc"* 

 xxx"; whose saules God assoyl for is m'cy. Ame'." 



The next three are partly pewed over ; but the 

 uncovered parts are perfectly legible. The first 

 two are from Tankersley, the third from Went-^ 

 worth : 



« Hie jacet dns Thomas Toykyl .... die mensis 

 Aprilis anno dni M. cecc. Ixxxx. scdo " 



" . , , . Mensis Octob. ano dni MilliiiTo cccc. xxx. 

 quinto." 



«'.... Ano dni Millesimo cccc. xxxx. vi. cuius aie 

 deus propitietur." 



Also in Ecclesfield Church Is a slab bearing the 

 dates 1571, and J. W. 1593 ; and the remains of 

 two others, with dates "M° ccccc° xix°," and 

 " M° ccccc° xxx° vi"." J. Eastwood* 



Ecclesfield Hall, Sheffield. 



''Her face is like," §"C. (Vol. vii., p. 305,).— 



" Her face is like the milky way i' the sky,^ 



A meeting of gentle lights without a name." 



These lines are from Act III. of Sir John Suck- 

 ling's tragedy of Brennoralt, and are uttered hy^ a 

 lover contemplating his sleeping mistress ; a cir- 

 cumstance which it is important to mention, as the 

 truth and beauty of the comparison depend on it.
