NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 280. 



upon his Exptdsion from the House of Commons, in 

 1707, &c., London, 1712, 8vo., is known at all? 

 There seems a mistake in the text of a date ; 1703 

 ought, I suppose, from the above book, to be 1707. 



J. B. James. 

 [This tract is scarce, but it may be seen in the British 

 Museum and the Bodleian. Mr. Asgill was expelled the 

 House of Commons in Ireland in 1703, and the House of 

 Commons in England in 1707. It is to the latter expul- 

 sion that reference is made in the Defence noticed by our 

 correspondent. At p. 6. he says, " I am now in the fifth 

 year of my expulsion from the House of Commons of 

 Great Britain, as author of the treatise, to which I then 

 made The Sequel my defence." Consult Kippis's Biogra- 

 phia Britannica, s. v., and " N". & Q.," Vol. vi., pp. 3. 

 300.] 



Ethical Writers. — Wanted by a friend a full 



'list of ethical writers, both ancient and modern, 



or any information as to where such a list may be 



seen. Y. S. M. 



[In the Introduction to Tennemann's Manual of the 

 History of Philosophy (Bohn's "Philological Library") is 

 a chapter on the " Bibliography of the History of Philo- 

 sophy." under which head are comprehended the works 

 relative to the history of philosophy in general and in 

 particular. See also G. H. Lewis's Biographical History 

 of Philosophy, 1845 ; Reinhold's Manual of the History of 

 Philosophy Ancient and Modern, 1828-30} and the Preli- 

 minary Dissertations in the Ency. Bntannica.J

English Translation of " Abelard." — Is there 

 any English edition consisting of the works of 

 Peter Abelard, particularly his Christian Theo- 

 logy, and also of the letters of Heloise to Abelard ? 

 If so, who is the publisher, and what the date of 

 publication ? 2, 



Loughborough. 



[There is an English translation of The Letters of Abe- 

 lard mid Heloise, 12uio., London, 1722 ; also one by John 



Hughes, 8vo., London, 1808 ; another by the Rev. Joseph 

 Berington, 4to., Birmingham, 1788.] 



Cohorn. — Query what ? Frequently men- 

 tioned in a History of the Rebellion of 1745, in my 

 possession, by James Ray of Whitehaven. 



B. H. C. 



[ We are inclined to think this is a brass cannon em- 

 ployed by, and named after, Memnon Cohorn, the cele- 

 brated Dutch engineer. His work on Fortifications is 

 favourably noticed by Robins, in his New Principles of 

 Gunnery, edit. 1805, p. 21.] 



SCHONBOKNERUS. 



(Vol. vii., p. 478.) 



I have long looked in vain for an answer to 

 H. A. B.'s question respecting the above author. 

 His book, the only one of its class with which I 

 have any acquaintance, has been in my possession 

 for many years, and I have often had occasion to 

 consult it with advantage. Considering the 

 enormous pains it must have cost its compiler, I 

 have been surprised at not being able to find any 

 account of him in the Biographic Universelle, or 

 elsewhere. My copy has the following inscription 

 on the title-page, " Gilb. Wats : Ruit Hora:" 

 and is filled with abundant MS. interlineations, 

 together with an index at the end of the quotations 

 from Tacitus contained in it, very carefully col- 

 lected, and beautifully written. I should presume 

 that this painstaking owner could be none other 

 than Gilbert Wats, the translator of Bacon's /ra- 

 stauratio, a circumstance which imparts some little 

 interest to the actual copy. 



With regard to Schonborner himself, a few- 

 particulars are to be gleaned from the introductory 

 portions of his work ; and perhaps a person better 

 versed than I am in the literary history of the 

 empire, would be able to gather more. He was 

 a Silesian jurisconsult, doctor of philosophy and 

 laws, holding the office of councillor and chan- 

 cellor to a nobleman at Glogau, and resident at 

 that place in May, 1614. This book was his first 

 production, and delivered, as it would appear, 

 originally in the form of lectures to a class of 

 students in the University of Frankfort-on-the- 

 Oder. It is dedicated to John Ulrich Schaft- 

 gotsch, of Kienast, Griefifenstein, Kemnitz, Girs- 

 dorff, Scmideberg, &c., Free Baron and Lord 

 (Dynasta:) of Silesia, in Trachenberg and Praus- 

 nitz (the step-son of his patron, whom he calls 

 " Comes Zollerinus "), and just returned from the 

 grand tour, which he had been making under the 

 guidance of Henry Scultetus. The magniloquence 

 with which the virtues of this long-forgotten young 

 gentleman are celebrated, savours strongly of the 

 burlesque. C. W. Bingham.
