[ Cullet does not occur in any dictionary we have con-

“ Qunsel.”” — What is the meaning of this word? 
Tt occurs in the report of the proceedings of the

“ Mr. Shee. I often said that an ounsel would be a most 
essential requisite to this house.”

pani is a provincialism for the weighing balance 
called the steel-yard, and is derived from ounce, weight ; 
or uncia, an inch in length. Cleland, in his Vocabulary, 
is of opinion that “uncta denotes only a notch, or a nick, 
in the steel-yard, dividing the pound into lesser weights.” 
Machines of the steel-yard kind are made of all sizes, to 
weigh either tons or ounces. They are sometimes called 
weigh-bridges. See engravings of various kinds in He- 
bert’s Engineer's’ and Mechanics’ Encyclopedia, art. “ Ba-

of St. Francis, by J. de la Haye, fol., Paris, 1641. Dibdin

The usual expression of the Apostolic Fathers, 
in quoting the Scriptures, is yéyparra, “it is 
written,” as Ignatius ad Eph. 5. ; and the collected 
writings of the Old and New Testament are de- 
signated by them, as the Old Testament is in the 
ew Testament, by at ypapai (Acts xvii. 2. 11, 
Clemens Rom. ad Cor. 45.) ; or by + ypaph (2 Tim. 
iii, 16., Clemens Rom, ad Cor, 23, 34, 35. 42.;

also termed dyios Adyos (Clemens Rom. ad Cor., 
13. 56.), and 7d ypapetoy (Clemens Rom. ad Cor., 
28.). 
Clemens Alexandrinus uses the words “ Scrip- 
ture,” 2 ypap) (Strom., lib. i. p. 281.), and 
“ Scriptures,” a? ypada (Strom., lib. viii. p. 728.), 
in speaking of the whole collection of Sacred 
Scripture (the Bible) ; and he separates them into 
modu and véo dia6qcn (Peed., lib. i. p.111.), “ the 
Old and New Testaments, or covenants,” also in 
strict conformity with the New Testament. 
Chrysostom calls them “the divine books,” 7 
Sea Bi6Ala (Hom., Gen. i.): so does Athanasius 
(p. 962.) ; Isidore of Pelusium, aé Seta ypadai (Ep., 
114. 1.4.).. Tertullian terms the entire collection 
instrumentum (adv. Marcion, lib. v. ¢. xiii. p. 601.) 
and digesta (Id., lib. iv. ¢. iii. p. 504.). 
The settlement of the canon of the New Testa- 
ment is historical, or founded on universal tradi- 
tion, and has never required the decision of a 
council: for the same books have been admitted 
into such list (canon) by Athanasius, Cyril of 
Jerusalem, the council of Laodicea, Epiphanius, 
Basil, Gregory Nazianzen, Amphilochius, Gre- 
gory Nyssen, Jerome, Rufinus, the third council of 
Carthage, Augustine, Innocent L, Bishop of Rome, 
Isidore of Pelusium, Cyril of Alexandria, Cassian, 
Prosper of Aquitain, Eucherjus, Bishop of Lyons, 
Sedulius, Leo, Bishop of Rome, Salyian, Diony- 
sius the Areopagite, Gelasius, Bishop of Rome, 
Andrew, Facundus, Arethas, Cassiodorus, Pho- 
tius, icumenius, Nicephorus, Callisti, and Theo- 
phylact; the- last, and Cyril of Jerusalem, only 
excluding the Revelations. (Lardner, Caed., x1.
