"Al'&J'," ITS DERIVATION. 



As the old postulate respecting the etymology 

 of this important word, from ae}&>y, however super- 

 ficial, is too attractive to be surrendered, even in 

 the present day, by some respectable authorities, 

 the judgment of your classical correspondents is 



requested, as to the accuracy of the more philo- 

 sophical origin of the term which has been adopted 

 by commentators of unquestionable erudition and 

 undisputed eminence. 



The rule by which those distinguished scholars, 

 Lennep and Scheidius, determine the etymology 

 of Aldiv, is as follows : 



" Nomina in wv desinentia, formata ab aliis nomi- 

 nibus, collect iva sunt, sive copiam earum rerum, qua; 

 primitive) designantur notant — ut sunt SevSphv, a 5eV- 

 Bpof, arboretum ; 'E\aiibv, olivetum, ab"EAaiov ; 'Pofiwv, 

 rosetum, a fiSSov (also the nouns ayicwv, ayebv, aKpefxcav, 

 fSovSuv, iraii'v, irAovroov, irdyuiv, xwwi'). — • Nempe for- 

 mata videntur hose nomina in <cv, a genitivis pluralibus 

 substantivorum. Genitivus singularis borum nominum, 

 in wvos, contractione sua, hanc originem satis videtur 

 demonstrare." 



In immediate reference to the word Albiv, they 

 say : 



" Alwv, iEvum, iEternitas. Nomen ex eo genere, 

 quod natura sua collectionem et multitudinem rerum 

 notat ; ut patet ex terminatione civ. Quemadmodum 

 in voce ae\, vidimus earn esse translatam eximie ad sig- 

 nificationem teinporis, ab ilia flandi, spirandive, quae est 

 in origine aco ; sic in nostro Aiwc eadem translations 

 ratio locum habet ; ut adeo quasi temporum collectionem, 

 vel multitudinem significet. A qua denuo signilica- 

 tione propria profectae sunt ea?, quibus vel aevum, vel 

 (eternitatem, vel hominii cetatem descripsere veteres. 

 Formata (vox) est a nomine inusitato Albs, vel 'A'ibs, 

 quod ab ius, cujus naturam, in voce ae\, exposui. 

 Caetertnn, a Grajco nostro Alow, interposito digainmate 

 iEolieo, ortum est 'AiFwv, et hinc Lat. asvum." 



As then it is impossible to place Alav, whose 

 genitive is Aluvos, in the same category with the 

 derivatives from &r, the participle present of Ely.), 

 whose genitive is ovros ; and as, secondly, this 

 derivation places the word out of the range of the 

 collective nouns so declined, which are derived 

 from other nouns, as this appears to be, can the 

 real etymology of the word Alibv, and its deriva- 

 tives, remain any longer a matter of question and 

 debate ? C. H. P. 



WILLIAM LTON, BISHOP OF CORK, CLOYNE, AND 

 ROSS. 



It is very generally believed that Dr. William 

 Lyon (not Lyons, as he is sometimes called) was 

 originally in the navy ; that having distinguished 

 himself in several actions against the Spaniards, 

 he was promised by Queen Elizabeth the first 

 crown appointment that should be vacant; and 

 that this happening to be the see of Cork, he was 

 appointed to it. This is mentioned in other works 

 as well as in Mr. Crofton Croker's very agreeable 

 Researches in the South of Ireland, p. 248. ; and I 

 have more than once heard it given as a remark- 

 able instance of church preferment.
