NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 69. 



(ed. New York, 1849) — all these give, as the 

 authority for the contrasted characters quoted, 

 Damian's Synopsis Societatis Jesu. Notljing of 

 the kind appears theie ; but in the Imago primi 

 Sceculi Soc. Jesu, 1C40, it will be found, p. 19. 



The misleader of these writers seems to have 

 been Villers, in his Prize Essay on the Reforma- 

 tion, or his annotator, Mills, p. 374. Novus. 



P.S. (Vol. ii., p. 375.).— The lines quoted by 

 Dr. Pusey, I have some notion, belong to a 

 Romish, not a Socinian, writer. 



Winkel. — I thought, some time since, that the 

 places bearing this name in England, were taken 

 from the like German word, signifying a corner. 

 I find, on examination, that there is a village in 

 Rhenish Prussia named " Winkel." It seems that 

 Charlemagne had a wine-cellar there ; so that 

 that word is no doubt taken from the German 

 words wein and heller, from the Latin vinum and 

 cella. Akedjid Kooez. 



Foreign Renderings. — In addition to those given, 

 I will add the following, which I once came across 

 at Salzburg : 



" George Nelbock recommande I'hotel aux Trois 

 Allies, vis-a-vis de la niaison paternclle du cclebre 

 Mozart, Icqucl est nouvellemeiit fourni et offre tons 

 les comforts a Mrs. Ics voyageurs." 



Translated as follows : 



" George Nelbock begs leave to recommand his hotel 

 to the Three Allied, situated vis-S-vis of the birth bouse 

 of Mozart, which offers all comforts to the meanest 

 charges." 



Also the following : 



" M. Reutliiiger (of Frankfort on Main) takes leave 

 to recommande his well furnished magazine of all kind 

 of travelling-luggage and sadle-works."

SamuelJohnson — Gilbert Wakejield. —Whoever 

 has had much to do with the press will sympathise 

 with Mr Charles Knight in all that he has stated 

 ("Notes and Queries," Vol. iii., p. 62.) respecting 

 the accidental — but not at first discovered — sub- 

 stitution of modern for moderate. If that word 

 modern had not been detected till it was too late 

 for an explanation on authority, what strange 

 conjectures would have been the consequence ! 

 Happily, Mr. Knight was at hand to remove that 

 stumbling-block. 



I rather fiincy that I can rescue 'Samuel Johnson 

 from the fangs of Gilbert Wakefield, by the sup- 

 position of an error of the press. In 1786, Wake- 

 field published an edition of Gray's Poems, with 

 notes ; and in the last note on Gray's '' Ode on 

 the Death of a Cat," he thus animadverts on Dr. 

 Johnson : — 



" Our critic exposes himself to reproof from the 

 manner in which be has conveyed bis severe remark : 



show a rhyme is sometimes made. The omission of the 

 relative, a too common practice with our writers, is 

 an impropriety of the grossest kind : and which neither 

 gods nor men, as one expresses himself, nor any language 

 under heaven, can endure." 



Now in Dr. Johnson's Life of Gray, we find 

 this sentence: — 



" In the first stanza ' the azure flowers that blow ' 

 show resolutely a rhyme is sometimes made when it 

 cannot easily be found." 



My notion is, that the word fioiu has been 

 omitted in the printing, from the similarity of 

 blow, show, how; and thus the sentence will be — 



" The azure flowers that blow show how resolutely a 

 rhyme is sometimes made when it cannot easily be 

 found." 



But Gilbert Wakefield was a critic by profes- 

 sion, and apparently as great in English as he 

 was in Greek. Vabro. 



Passage in Gray^s Elegy. — I do not remember 

 to have seen noted the evident Lucretian origin of 

 the verse — 



" For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn. 

 Nor busy housewife ply her evening care ; 

 No children run to lisp their sire's return, 

 Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share." 



Compare Lucretius, lib. 3. v. 907. : 



"At jain non domus accipiet te la;ta ; neque uxor 

 Optima, nee dulces occurrent oscula nati 

 Praeripere, et tacita pectus dulcedine tangent."

BIBT.TOGRAPHICAL QUERIES. 



{Continued from Yol. iii., p. 87.) 



(39.) Does any one now feel inclined to vindi- 

 cate for Inchofer, Scioppius, Bariac, or Contarini, 

 the authorship of the Monarchia Solipsorum ? 

 Notwithstanding the testimony of the Venice 

 edition of 1652, as well as the very abundant evi- 

 dence of successive witnesses, in favour of the 

 first-named writer, (whose claim has been recog- 

 nised so lately as the year 1790, by the Indice 

 Ultimo of INIadrid), can there be the smallest doubt 

 that the veritable inventor of this satire upon the 

 Jesuits was their former associate, Jules-Clement 

 ScoTTi ? For the interpretation of his pseudo- 

 nyme, "Lucius Cornelius Europseus," see Niceron, 

 Mem. xxxix. 70-1. 



(40.) Mr. Cureton {Ant. Syr. vers, of Ep. of 

 S. Ignat. Preface, p. ii., Lond. 1845) has asserted 

 that — 



" The first Epistles published, bearing the name of 

 St. Ignatius — one to the Holy Virgin, and two to the 

 Apostle St. John, in Latin, — were printed in the year 

 1495. Three years later there appeared an edition of 

 eleven Epistles, also in Latin, attributed to the same
