Scandinavians, &c. ! Let us pass over ii-relevant 

 matter till we come to 



6th. J. B.'s authoritative rule, " that no apparent 

 similarity between words in the Semitic ami Asian 

 (read Sanscrit) I'amilies can be used to establish a 

 real identity, the two classes of language being radi' 

 callij and fundamentally distinct." Vide mouse, and 

 a hundred more roots, that might quash this rule. 



To conclude, I did not introduce the Sanscrit 

 dal into my former note, because, I suppose, an 

 idea passed through my mind that I might oifend 

 some " interesting- points in Greek manners." 



I have only one more remark to make, which is, 

 that the Sanscrit bhra-tre is a compound word 

 like Se\-(pvs. I will give the fidl etymology of this 

 word bhra-tre, to prove that J. B. has done wrong 

 in bringing in a word to militate against his 

 own rule. Persian, bra-dar ; Sanscrit, bhra-tre; 

 (jtoth'ic, b)-o-thar ; Islandic, 6ro-<^(r ; German, &?•!<- 

 der ; Swedish and Danish, 6ro-c?er; Anglo-Saxon, 

 bro-ther. Now, will J. B. prove that the Hebrew, 

 Chaldee, and Syriac "13, bar, a son, is not con- 

 nected with the Persian and Sanscrit b)'a and 

 bhraf If he does, I shall doubtless be edified.

THE ROMAN INDEX EXPURG ATORIUS OF 1607. 



(Vol. iv., p. 440.) 

 I am happy in being able to give, I trust, a 

 satisfactory answer to the Query of your American 

 correspondent U. U., respecting the original edi- 

 tion of 1607. 



There can be no doubt that the copy in the 

 Bodleian Library is of the genuine edition. It 

 was in the Library certainly before the year 1620, as 

 it appears in the catalogue printed in that year, and 

 still bears the same reference on the shelf as is there 

 given to it, namely, 8vo. I. 32. Theol. ; and it was 

 doubtless the copy used by Dr. James, who supei'- 

 intended the forming of that catalogue, and who 

 died only a few months before. The title runs thus:

There is a full stop at confecti, also at emendan- 

 tur, and at Brasichellen ; but no stop whatever at 

 auctorum. It extends (besides eight leaves of 

 title and preliminary matter) to pp. 742. On the 

 recto of the next and last leaf, " Series chartarum," 

 &c., and at the bottom :

There is also in the Bodleian Library a copy 

 of the Bei'gomi edition, the title of which is as 

 follows :

This edition extends to 608 pages, in double 

 columns, besides the preliminary matter, consist- 

 ing of four articles, of which the first in this 

 edition is the last in the genuine copy of 1607, — a 

 circumstance mentioned by Clement as peculiar to 

 the Altdorif edition ; but here the signatures run to 

 pages in eights, whereas the AltdortF edition " qu' 

 ne remplit qu'un alphabet, et seize feuilles."

Hobbess " Leviathan " (Vol. iv., p. 314.). — The 

 meaning of the frontispiece to the first edition of 

 this work, is, I imagine, sufficiently obvious. The 

 large figure representing a commonwealth holds 

 in his right hand a sword, in his left a pastoral 

 crook. He is the emblem of a commonwealth 

 "ecclesiastical and civil" (as the title of the book 

 shows us). Ranged down one side of the page, 

 under the sword-bearing arm, are the weapons and 

 resources whi(;h the State jyossesses. Down the 

 other side of the page, under the protection of the 

 j)astoral staff, is the corresponding armament of 

 the Church. Thus, a castle and a church, a crown
