NOTES AND QUERIES. 



505 



We some time since called the attention of our 

 readers to a new periodical which had been commenced 

 at Gbttingen, under the title of Zeitschrift fur Deutsche 

 Mythologie und Sittenkunde, under the editorship of 

 T. W. Wolf. We have since received the 2nd, 3rd, 

 and 4th Parts of it from Messrs. Williams and Norgate, 

 and hope shortly to transfer from its pages to our 

 columns a few of the many curious illustrations of our 

 own Folk Lore, with which it abounds. 



Books Received. — The Works of John Locke, vol. i., 

 Philosophical Works, with a preliminary Essay and Notes, 

 by J. A. St. John, is the first volume of a collected edi- 

 tion of the writings of this distinguished English phi- 

 losopher, intended to form a portion of Bohn's Standard 

 Library. — The Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay, 

 vol. iv., 1788-89. Worth more than its cost for its 

 pictures of Fox, Burke, Wyndham, &c, and Hastings' 

 Impeachment. — A Poet's Children, by Patrick Scott. 

 A shilling's worth of miscellaneous poems from the 

 pen of this imaginative but somewhat eccentric bard. — 

 Points of War, I. II. Til. IV., by Franklin Lushing- 

 ton. Mr. Lushington is clearly an admirer of Tenny- 

 son, and has caught not a little of the mannerism and 

 not a few of the graces of his great model.

 has already appeared in our columns. 



Sigma. How can we forward a letter to this Correspondent ? 



Enquirer. Our Correspondent's Query is not apparent. The 

 Rolls House and Chapel, in Chancery Lane, never " reverted 

 to their original use," that is, as a House of Maintenance for Con- 

 verted Jews. 



J. G. T. For the origin of Bands worn by clergymen, lawyers, 

 and others, see our Second Volume, pp. 23. 76. 126. . 



" Vita Crucem," &c. We have to apologise for having mislaid 

 the copy of the following distich, requesting a translation as well as 

 the authorship of it : 



" Vita crucem, et vivas, hominem si noscere velles, 

 Quis, quid, cur, cujus passus amore fuit." 



Which may be literally translated, " Shun the Cross, that you may 

 live, if you would know Him aright, Who and what He was, why 

 and for love of whom He suffered." These lines see?n to be a 

 caveat against the adoration of the material Cross, and were pro- 

 bably composed during the domination of the fanatics in Crom- 

 well's time, when that redoubtable Goth, Master William Dowsing, 

 demolished whatever was inscribed with the Cross, whether of 



brass, marble, or other material. Our Correspondent will find 



the line, " A falcon towering in his pride of place," in Macbeth, 

 Act II. Sc. 4. 



Our Eighth Volume is now bound and ready for delivery, 

 price 10*. Gd., cloth, boards. A few sets of the whole Eight Vo- 

 lumes are being made up, price 41. 4s For these early application 



is desirable.
