tradition was Cockerell's last lecture on Arcliitec-

"■Men.are hut Children" :^-c. — lX. G. (Vol. ii., 

 p. 22.) will find the line .iboiit wliicli he inquires 

 in Dryden's All for Love; or. The World well 

 Lost, Act iv. Sc. 1. 

 Dolabella {Joq.): 



" Men are but children of a larger growth, 

 Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, 

 And full as craving too, and full as vain."

King's College, London, July 12. 1850. 



Ventriloquism (Vol. ii., p. 88.). — Mr. Sansom 

 will find some curious information touching the 

 words 31S, eyyacTpifivBos, &c., in Dr. Jlaitland's 

 recent Illustrations and Enquiries relating to 

 Mesmerism, pp. 55. 81. The Lexicons of Drs. Lee 

 and Gesenius may also be consulted, under the 

 word 3iX. The former of these lexicographers 

 would rank the Pythian priestess with " our mo- 

 dern conjurers." C. H. 



St. Catharine's Hall, Cambridge. 



CromweWs Estates — Magor (Vol. i., p. 277. 

 389.). — As the South Wales line is now open as 

 far as Chepstow, it may not be uninteresting to 

 V. to know, that it diverges i'rom the coast between 

 Chepstow and Xewport, in order to pass Bishops- 

 ton and Magor, the last of which he rightly placed 

 in Monmouthshii-e. Seleucus. 



Vincent Gookin (Vol. i., pp. 385. 473. 492. ; Vol. ii. 

 p. 44.) is described in a Narrative of the late Par- 

 liament [Cromwell's Parliament, d. 1656], in the 

 Harleian Miscellany, as 



" One of the letters of land in Ireland, receiving 

 three hundred pounds per annum." 



He and three other Irish members, Colonel 

 Jephson, Ralph King, and Bice, .are classed to- 

 gether in this tract, which is hostile to Cromwell, 

 as 



" Persons not thought meet to be in command, 

 though they much desire it, and are of such poor prin- 

 ciples and so unlit to make rulers of as they would not 

 have been set with the dogs of the flock, if tlie army 

 and others who once pretended to be honest had kept 

 close to their former good and honest principles." 



Vincent Gookin voted for the clause in the 

 "Petition and Advice" giving the title of "King" 

 to Cromwell. ClI. 



All-to brake (Vol. i., p. 395.). — The interpreta- 

 tion given is incorrect. " All-to" is very connnonly 

 used by early writers for "altogether:" e.g., "all- 

 to belnicked," (^Ai'liWV a Answer to Murtixiir s Trea- 

 tise of the Cross, Parki.'r Society's edition, p. 3. ; 

 "all-to becros.^ed," ibid. )). 91.; "all-to bebattcd," 

 ibid. p. 133,, &c. &c. The Parker Society reprints 

 will supply innumerable examples of the use of the 

 expression.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATAXOGtTES, ETC. 



The two of Mr. Hunter's Critical mid Historical 

 Tracts, which we have had the opportunity of examin- 

 ing, justify to the fullest the expectations we had 

 formed of them. The first, Agincourt; a Contribu- 

 tion, toivards an avthentic List of the Commanders of the 

 English Host, in King Henry the Fifth's E.rpedition, in 

 the Third Year of his Reign, Mr. Hunter describes 

 as " an instalment," we venture to add " a very 

 valuable instalment," from evidence which has been 

 buried for centuries in the unknown masses of national 

 records, towards a complete list of the English Com- 

 manders who served with the King in that expedition, 

 with, in most cases, the number of the retinue which each 

 Commander undertook to bring into the field, and, in some 

 instances, notices of events happening to the contingents. 

 The value of a work based upon such materials, our 

 historical readers will instantly recognise. The lovers 

 of our poety will regard with equal interest, and pe- 

 ruse with equal satisfaction, Mr. Hunter's broclmre 

 entitled Milton; a Sheaf of Gleanings after his Bio- 

 qraphers and Annotators, and admit that he has bound 

 up the new biographical illustrations and critical com- 

 ments, which he has gathered in that pleasant field of 

 literary inquiry, the life and writings of Milton, into 

 a goodly and a pleasant sheaf. 



Messrs. Sotheby and Co. will commence on Mon- 

 day, the 29th of this month, a three d;iys' Sale of Greek, 

 Roman, and English Coins, English and Foreign 

 Medals, Cabinets, &c., the property of a Gentleman 

 leaving England.
