writer :" — " le style est de Fhomme" — style is the 

 writer's oivnfashionivg. In fact, he merely draws 

 the distinction between the materials and their 

 treatment by the writer ! The blunder was pointed 

 out long ago in the Nouvelle Biographie Univer- 

 selle (Didot), art. Bnffon, vii. 739. in notis, where a 

 long extract will be found. Andrew Steinmetz.

ANONrMOrS DHAMATIC LITERATURE. 



1. Who is the author of The Surrender of Ca- 

 lais, a drama, printed at York, 8vo., 1801 ? 



2. Can any of your readers give me any inform- 

 ation regarding J. Tweed, author of Invasion, or 

 England's Glory, a drama, 8vo., 1798 ? This play 

 is not mentioned in the Biogi-aphia Dramatica. 



3. 21ie Travels of Huinanim in Search of the 

 Temple of Happiness, an allegory, by William 

 Lucas, 12mo., 1809. At the end of this tale there 

 is " The Manuscript," an interlude. Who are the 

 dramutis personal of this interlude? 



4. ^Vanted biographical particulars regarding 

 John Taylor, M.D., formerly of liombay. He 

 translated The Moon of Intellect, an allegorical 

 drama (from the Sanscrit), 1812. I think he was 

 for some time the East India Company's Resident 

 at Bussorah. 



5. There was published, in 180G, A Fathers 

 Memoir of his Child, by Benjamin Heath Malkin, 

 Esq., 8vo. The child who is the subject of this 

 memoir is said to have written poetry, talcs, fables, 

 and to have undertaken dramatic composition. 



Does the memoir give the subjects or titles of 

 these dramas ? 



6. At the sale of the library of Mr. John Carter, 

 the architect, in Feb. 1818, there were sold several 

 MS. dramas, written by Mr. J. Jameson (a rela- 

 tive of Mr. Carter), who was an author of the 

 time of Queen Anne. Wanted the titles of these 

 MS. dramas ? 



7. There was published Poems on Several Oc- 

 casions, by Mrs. Darwall (formerly Miss Whately), 

 2 vols., 1794. In this collection of poems there is 

 said to be a dramatic pastoral entitled "Valentine's 

 Day." Is this piece divided in acts or scenes ? 



8. Wanted the authorship of three dramatic 

 works printed or published at Bath : — The Sheep, 

 the Duck, and the Cock, a dramatic fable, 8vo., 

 1783 ; The Guardians, -or, The Man of my Choice, 

 a comedy in five acts, 8vo., 1808 ; Rostang, a 

 drama, Bath, 1834. The author of the piece last- 

 named also published a volume about the same 

 time, entitled Facts and Fictions. 



9. AVho is the author of The Horatii, a tragedy, 

 1846 ? The same author published also The Italian 

 Captain, a drama, 1847. Y. Z.

Rothesay Castle. — Where may particulars and 

 plans be found of this curious old castle ? which 

 seems, although in the midst of the town and 

 wateringplace, to have escaped the usual fate of 

 such conveniently situated "lions." One of the 

 walls of the angle towers is pierced in the upper 

 story with square apertures ; to which all who 

 have seen the so-called "book-case in Hawthorn- 

 den caves" will perceive a likeness : the one, how- 

 ever, being in masonry, the other in the natural 

 rock. Was the object of this, in Rothesay, to 

 diminish the superincumbent weight on the tower 

 foundation? T. H. Pattison. 



Dc Renzie's Irish Gi-ammar, Dictionary, and 

 Chronicle. — It appears from the inscription on a 

 monument erected in the church of Athlone to 

 the memory of " the Right Worshipful Matthew 

 De Renzie, Knight, who departed this life 29th 

 Aug. 1634, being of the age of 57 years," and 

 who had been a great traveller and general lin- 

 guist, that he composed a grammar, dictionary, 

 and chronicle in the Irish tongue. Can any one 

 inform me respecting these works ? Abhba. 



Attorney-General Noye. — Whilst recently mak- 

 ing a tour through Cornwall, I visited the ancient 

 parish church at Mawgan in (hat county, cele- 

 brated for a very curious cross in the churchyard. 

 At the east end of the interior of the church is a 

 monumental stone, bearing the following inscrip- 

 tion : —
