OLD ENGRAVING. 



(Vol. xi., p. 265.) 



" Una volta che San Francesco era fortemente infermo, 

 e Fra Leone lo serviva, il detto Fra Leone stando in 

 orazione appresso a San Francesco, fu rapito in estasi, e 

 menato in spirito ad un fiume grandissimo largo ed im- 

 petuoso ; e stando egli cosi a guardare chi passava, e vidde 

 alquanti Frati caricati entrare in questo fiume, i quali 

 subitamente erano battuti dair empitodel fiume, e s' anne- 

 garono. Alcuni andavano per sino a 1' altra riva, i quali 

 tutti per r empito del fiume e per li pesi che portavano 

 addosso finalmente cadevano, e si annegavano. Vedendo 

 questo Fra Leone, avea loro gran compassione, e stando 

 cosi vidde una gran moltitudine di Frati senza carico 

 alcuno, o pesa di cosa alcune, in quali rilucea la santa 

 poverty, i quali entrando in questo fiume passarono senza 

 pericolo, e vedendo questo Fra Leone ritomo in se stesso. 

 Allora San Francesco sentendo in spirito, che Fra Leone 

 aveva veduto alcuna visione lo chiamb a se, e gli domando 

 quelle, che egli aveva veduto, e raccontata, che gli ebbe 



Fra Leone tutta la visione per ordine, disse San Francesco: 

 ' Cio che hai veduto h vero. II gran fiume h questo mondo, 

 i Frati che si annegarono nel fiume sono quelli, che non 

 seguitano la Evangelica professione specialmente quanto 

 al altissima poverty, ma coloro, che passavano senza 

 pericolo sono quel Frati, liquali nessuna cosa terrena cer- 

 cano, ne possedano in questo mondo, ma avendo solamente 

 il temperato vivere, e vestire sono content!, seguitando 

 Gesu Cristo nudo in croce, il giogo soave di Cristo della 

 santa obbedienza portavano allegramente, e pero legger- 

 mente dalla vita temporale passano all' eterna." — Fioretti 

 di San Francesco, p. 120. ; Bassano, ISmo., no date. 



At the head of each chapter is a rough woodcut. 

 That to chap, xxxv., above quoted, represents an 

 angel acting as guide to four monks, walking oa 

 the river, and wearing the costume as in E T. s 

 engraving. I do not know whether Fra Leone, 

 who seems to have been the favourite disciple of 

 St. Francis, ever rose to be San Leone. In this 

 book " Fra " is not confined to " brother " in the 

 monastic sense, as in chap. xx. St. Francis ad- 

 dresses the wolf, who had eaten so many citizens 

 of Ugabio that the inhabitants dared not venture 

 beyond the walls, " Fra Lupo." In the vignette 

 to this chapter the saint and "Brother Wolf" are 

 shaking hands over an agreement that he shall eat 

 no more men, but live at his ease in the city, as he 

 did for two years, being well fed and never barked 

 at by the dogs, and died " much lamented."

COACHING QUERIES. 



(Vol. xi., p. 281.) 



Turnpike Roads. — Pulleyn, if your corre- 

 spondent H. T. G. quotes him correctly, is evi- 

 dently mistaken in asserting that " the first act 

 for the repair of the public roads was passed in 

 1698." I have before me — 



" A Catalogue and Collection of all those Ordinances, 

 Proclamations, Declarations, &e., which have been printed 

 and published since the Government was established in 

 His Highness the Lord Protector (viz.), from Dec. 16, 

 1653, unto Sept. 3, 1654." 



in which, at page 75., I find " An Ordinance for 

 better amending and keeping in Repair the 

 Common Highways within this Nation," bearing 

 date "Friday, March 31, 1654." 



Moreover, the last section of this ordinance 

 refers in the following terms to an act passed more 

 than a century anterior, 1553 : 



" And it is lastly ordained, by the authority aforesaid, 

 that one act madein the first 3'ear of the reign of the late 

 Queen Mary, for and concerning the making, repairing, 

 and amendment of the common highway and causie, in 

 the counties of Dorset and Somerset, between the towns 

 of Shaftsbury and Shirborne, in the said county of 

 Dorset, intituled. An Act to repair Shirborne Causie in the 

 counties of Dorset and Somerset, from henceforth shall 

 bee revived and stand in force until the first of September, 

 1662."
