NOTES AND QUERIES. 



Ill 



TTie Low Window (Vol. ii., p. 55.). — In Bibury 

 Church, Gloucestershire, are several windows of 

 unusual character; and in the chancel is a narrow, 

 low window, called to this day " the Lepers' win- 

 dow," through which, it is concluded, the lepers 

 who knelt outside the buildinff witnessed the ele- 

 vation of the host at the altar, as well as other 

 functions discharged by the priest during the 

 celebration of mass. Robert Snow. 



Brnsichellis Expurgatory Index (Vol. ii., p. 37.). 

 — Although unable to rejjly to Mr. Sansom's 

 Query, by pointing out any public library in which 

 he can find the Ratisbon reprint of Brasichelli's 

 Expurgatory Index, I beg to state that I possess 

 it, the Bergomi reprint, and also the original, and 

 that Mr. Sansom is perfectly welcome to a sight 

 of either. C.J. Stewart. 



1 1. King William Street, West Strand. 



DisairsiJLs Modestus (Vol. i., pp. 142. 205.). — 

 Crakanthorp, in his Defens. Eccl. Angl., cap. vi. 

 p. 27. (A. C. L. edition), refers to Discur. Com- 

 pen. dc Jesuit. Angl., p. 15., and quotes from it the 

 words, " Omnia pro tempore, nihil pro veritate." Is 

 this Disair. Compen. the Discurs. Modest.? and are 

 these words to be found in AVatson's Quodlihets ? 

 This would fix the identity of the two books. It 

 is curious that the only two references made by 

 Bishop Andrews to the Discurs. Modest. {Respons. 

 ad ApoL, pp. 7. and 117.) are to page 13., and both 

 the statements are found in page 81. of Watson. 

 Crakanthorp, however (p. 532.), quotes both the 

 works, — Discurs. Modestus de Jesuit. Anglic, and 

 Watson. 



From the many different Latin titles given to 

 this book, it seems certain that it was originally 

 written in English, and that the title was Latinized 

 according to each person's fancy. There is no 

 copy in the Lambeth library. J. B. 



Melancthous Epigram. — IMelanctlion, in the 

 epigram translated by Rufus (Vol. i., p. 422.), 

 seems to have borrowed the idea, or, to use the 

 more eJcpressiVe term of your " Schoolboy," to 

 have cabbaged from Martial's epigram, terminating 

 thus : — 



" Non p()S<irint nostros multa; Faiistine litura; 

 Emendare jocos : una litura potest." 



Martial, Book iv. 10. 



Naboc. 



Junius to Wilkes ; and the Miscellaneous Letters which 

 have been attributed to the same poirerful pen. INIr. 

 Wade is satisfied that Sir Philip Francis was Junius; 

 a theory of wliich It is said, " Se non e vero e ben tro- 

 vato :" and, If he does not 'go the length of Sir F. 

 Dwarris in regarding Sir P. Francis, not as the soli- 

 tary champion, but the most active of the sturdy band 

 of politicians whose views he advocated, he shows that 

 he was known to and assisted by many Influential 

 members of his own political party. Some of the most 

 curious points in the Junius ^listory are illustrated by 

 notes by ]\Ir. Bohn himself, who, we have no doubt, 

 will find his edition of Junius among the most suc- 

 cessful volumes of his Standard Library.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, &C. 



Mr. Bohn has just published the second volume 

 of Ills very useful and complete edition of Junius' 

 Letlers. It contains, in addition to a new essay on 

 their authorship, entitled The History ami Discovery of 

 Juiiiut, by the editor, Mr. Wade, the Private I..et- 

 tcrs of Junius addressed to Woodfall ; the Letters of 



P. M. is referred to our 27th No., p. 445., where he 

 will learn thut the supposed French original of " Not a 

 Drum was heard" was a clever hoax from the ready pen 

 of Father Front. The date when P. M. read the poem, 

 and not the date it l)ore, is a point necessary to he esta- 

 blished to prove its existence " anterior to the supposed 

 author of that beautiful poem." 



Will the Correspondent who wished for Vol. 8. of 

 Jiu.ihworlh, furnish his name and address, as a copy has 

 been reported. 



Volume the Fiii.st of Notes and Quekies, with
