Chair Moving. — Recent occurrences made me 

 look back at Glunvill's Blow at Modern Sadducism, 

 and I observed that in his account of the " Da;mon 

 of Tedworth," who was supposed to haunt the 

 house of Mr. Mompesson, and who was the orighial 

 of Addison's "drummer," it is stated that on the 

 5th November, 1G62, "in the sight and presence 

 of the company, the chairs walked about tlie 

 room," p. 124. N. B. 



Epitaph oil Politian in the Church of the AnnuU' 

 ciation at Florence. — 



" Politianus in hoc tumulo jacet Angelas, unum 

 Qui caput, et linguas (res nova) tres habuit." 

 From Travels of Sir John Rercsbi/. 



Y. B. N. J. 



[The following translation of this epitaph is given in 

 the Ency. Britannica, but it is there stated to be in 

 St. Mark's, Florence : 



" Here lies Politian, who, things strange indeed, 

 Had, when alive, three tongues, and but one head."] 



Epitaph in Torrington Churchyard, Devon. -^ 



" She was — my words are wanting to say what. 

 Think what a woman should be — she was that." 



Which provoked the following reply : 



" A woman shoidd be both a wife and mother, 

 But Jenny Jones was neither one nor t'other," 



Balliolensis. 



The early Delights of Philadelphia. — In Gabriel 

 Thomas's Description of the Settlement of Phila- 

 delphia occurs the following passage : 



" In the said city are several good schools of learning 

 for youth, for the attainment of arts and sciences, also 

 reading and writing. Here is to be had, on any day 

 in the week, cakes, tarts, and pies ; we have also 

 several cook-shops, both roasting and boiling, as in 

 the city of London : happy blessings, for which we 

 owe the highest gratitude to our plentiful Provider, 

 the great Creator of heaven and earth," 



Is not this a superb jumble ? A Leguleian. 



Misapplication of Terms. — Legend is a thing 

 " to be read " (legenduni), but it is often impro- 

 perly applied to traditions and oral communica- 

 tions. Of this there have been some instances 

 in " N. & Q." One has just turned up. Vol. v., 

 p. 196.: " I send you these legends as I have heard 

 them from the lips of my nurse, a native of the 

 parish." J. W. Thomas. 



Dewsbury. 



^' Plantin'' Bibles in 1600. — While looking 

 over the " Stackhouse Library " (see " N. & Q.," 

 Vol. viii., p. 327.), I observed on the fly-leaf of an 

 Hebrew Bible, 1600 (a. 100 in catalogue), a short 

 MS. memorandum, which I think worth pre- 

 serving. It ran' as follows : 



£ s. d. 

 " Plantin Heb. Bible, interlineing costes - 2 10 

 Plantin in octavo - - -10 



Buxtorf's Biblia in two vols. - - 2 10 



Hebw Bible, 4to. 2 vols. - - 2 



Inne 16° 8 vols. - - -200"
