 cellent work, Editions of the Bible, and Parts 

 thereof, in English, p. 75. : Oxford, 1852. R. G. 



Westminster Parishes (Vol. vii., p. 454.). — 

 In 1630 the City and Liberties of Westminster 

 contained the churches of St. Margaret, St. Martin- 

 in-the-Fields, St. Clement Danes, and St. John 

 Baptist Savoy. 



The registers of burials, marriages, and christen- 

 ings, of St. Margaret's Church, began January 1, 

 1538. 



The Fire of London did not destroy any church 

 in Westminster. Mackenzie Walcott, M. A. 



Hevristic (Vol. vii., p. 237.). — The term hev- 

 risttsch, in the first edition of the translation of 

 Kant's Critik, is not given in the vocabulary ap- 

 pended to the translation ; but under the word 

 ostensiv it is stated that in its meaning it stands 

 opposed to the word euristic Qievristisch in Ger- 

 man). But in the second edition, published in 

 1818, it is remarked, under the words evristic, 

 euristic, hevristisch, that the term should, in Sir 

 Wm. Hamilton's opinion, be euretic or heuretic ; 

 the word hevristisch being an error of long stand- 

 ing in German philosophy. The derivation of 

 euretic would be from fvperiKos. 



In Tissot's translation, hevristisch is rendered by 

 Tieuristique ; in Mantovani's, hyevristico; in Born's, 

 by heuristicus. In Krug's Lexicon, hevristik is 

 given as derived from eupisKw, tupeiv. The hevristic 

 method, Krug remarks, is also called the analytical. 

 It may be added, that in the first edition of the 

 Critik (Riga, 1781), the word is hevristisch. In 

 the fourth edition (Riga, 1794), published also in 

 Kant's lifetime, it is hevristisch. In Rosenkranz's 

 edition (Leipzig, 1838), the word is changed into 

 heuristisch ; and also, in another edition of the same 

 year, published also at Leipzig, it is written heu- 

 ristisch, and not hevristisch. 



In respect to the Leipzig edition of 1818, which 

 is that now before me, the term hevristisch, in speak- 

 ing of hevristisch principles, is particularly alluded 

 to. (See page 512. line 10.) I do not find, after 

 a hasty inspection, this word changed, in any of 

 the editions I possess, to empirisch.

Creole (Vol. vii., p. 381.). — The word appears 

 to be a French form of the Spanish criollo, which 

 in the dictionary of Nunez de Taboada is defined, 

 "El hijo de padres Europeos nacido en America;" 

 ■whilst in the old dictionary of Stevens (1726) it is 

 translated, " Son of a Spaniard and a West India 

 woman." In Brande's Dictionary of Science, &c., 

 Creole is said to mean the descendants of whites 

 born in Mexico, South America, or the West 

 Indies, the blood remaining unmixed with that of 

 other races, &c. 



Von Tschudi says, that in South America the 

 Spaniards apply the term Creole not only to the 

 human race, but also to horses, bullocks, and eveii 

 to poultry. A. C. M.

General Monk and the University of Cambridge 

 (Vol. vii., pp. 427. 486.). — Leicestriensis begs tO' 

 thank Mr. C. H. Cooper and Mr. J. P. Ord for 

 their replies to his Query on this subject. He 

 avails himself of this, the earliest opportunity, of 

 assuring Mr. Ord of his readiness to afford him 

 what slight information is in his power respecting; 

 the MS. in question (which only came into his 

 possession within the last two or three months)^ 

 if he will communicate with him as below.

Ecclesia Anglicana (Vol. vii., pp. 12. 440.). — I 

 am much obliged to your correspondent W. Eraser. 

 for his answer to my Query, and the reference* 

 with which he supplies me. I shall be glad to ask 

 a still more extensive question, which will pro- 

 bably explain the object of the former more limited 

 one. Is it usual, in any of the unreformed branches- 

 of the church on the continent, to find a similai- 

 appellation (implying distinct nationality) em- 

 ployed in authoritative documents, e.g. would it 

 be possible to find in the title-pages of any Missal^ 

 &c., such words as " in usum Ecclesiae Hispanicae, 

 Lusitante, Gallicanae?" If not now, was it more 

 customary in mediseval times, and when did it 

 cease ? 



Should we be justified in saying that at every 

 period of her existence, with rare exceptions, the 

 Anglican church, consciously or unconsciously, 

 maintained the theory of her nationality with 

 greater distinctness than any of the continental 

 churches ? I fancy I have heard, though I cannot 

 state on what authority, that this assertion might 

 be made most truly of the Portuguese church, and 

 should be very glad to have any light thrown on 

 the subject by your able correspondent. Certain 

 it is, that amongst the various complaints mad& 

 against Cardinal Wiseman and the Papal aggres- 

 sors, it has never been laid to their charge, that 

 they arrogated to themselves the title of members 

 of the Anglican church. G. R. M» 



Gibbon's Library (Vol. vii., p. 485.). — In 183S 

 I purchased some of Gibbon's books at Lausanne, 

 out of a basketful on sale at a small shop, the 

 depot of the Religious Tract Society ! Edward 

 Gibbon, printed on a small slip of paper, was 

 pasted in them. A. Holt White. 



Golden Bees (Vol. vii., p. 478.). — When the 

 tomb of Childeric, father of Clovis, was opened in 

 1653, there were found, besides the skeletons of 

 his horse and page, his arms, crystal orb, &c..
