My reafons for reje&ting the common 
punctuation were, that gui weniens fe fe- 
rebat appeared awkward and redundant, 
and that the words gui fe ferebat feemed 
to require fomething elfe to be conne&ted 
with them in order to a good fenfe, and a 
legitimate conftruéion, both which were 
fupplied by connecting them with immaui 
worpore. Vide Wakefield ad locum. 
I have now little doubt but that Dr. 
Hunter has been ‘more per{picacious than 
either of us, and chat Ais is the true punc- 
tuation of the paflage. In confirmation 
of qui fe Amyci de gente ferebat, it will be 
fufficient to citealine of Silius Italicus: 
Atque Antenorea fefe de ftirpe ferebat. 
¥ quote from memory, as I write this in 
the apartment of a friend. 
’ Dr. Baggs will now perceive that I ac- 
guit Aulus Gellius of blame in conneét- 
Ing 7mmani corpore with vidtorem Buten ; 
but wheever obferves the ufe he makes of 
the paffage, will not hefitate to pronounce 
whether it was Mr. C. or Aulus Gellius 
that was zapping. I muft again depend 
upon my memory, but I think that the 
yeader will find my judgment of the chap- 
ter of Aulus Gellius confirmed: by Heyne 
in his Var. Lec. in Virgil 4n. vii. 187. 
However, no confirmation can be needed.

y{ N the Critical Review for laft March, 
4 the manner in which the extra&s in 
the New Annual Regifter for 1300 are 
arranged, is groflly mifreprefented. It is 
therein ftated, that, to the furprize of the 
Reviewers, ** fome ufeful information on 
Kitchen Gardening,” is admitted into the 
number of. feleétions in the philofophical 
clafs; and that it alfo comprehends “ fe- 
veral other papers as little entitled to in- 
fertion under fuch a head.’” Whether 
there is the leaft fhadow of a foundation 
for the latter affertion, muit be left to 
the judgment of thofe who may take the 
troub:e to examine the fubjects of the 
ghree articles, of which only the philofo- 
phical clafs confifs. The article on Ki- 
Mr. Cogan’s Letter.—Emendation in Brtinetta Latini. 
chen Gardening, however, is not placed in 
the Regifter under the head of philofephi= 
cal, but of mifcellaneous papers. ' The 
conductors of the Critical Review having 
thought proper, in the plenitude of 
their liberality, to take no notice of the 
remonftrance which has been made to 
them on the fubje&t; I trag@ that your 
candour will afford me the opportunity 
which I ought to have received frora 
their juftice of vindicating the editors of 
the Regifter from the reproach of blame- 
able carelefsnefs and bluadering which 
has been attributed to them. Without 
malicioufly retorting the imputation on the 
Gentlemen Reviewers,I am Yeur’s, &c.

SiR, 
LLOW me to fubmit to your va- 
luable correfpondent Mr. Dupre, 
the propriety of an emendation of the 
following paflage, in the laf letter ot 
Brunetto Latini, copied from your Maga- 
zine for the prefent month. ! 
«© The Ciftercians are in particular 
favor with the king, becaufe they made a 
generous offer of all the Books belong- 
ing to their feveral convents, that they 
might be fold towards raifing the fum of 
one hundred thoufand pounds, which 
was demanded by the Emperor for the 
ranfom of King Richard, called Coeur 
de Lion, Henry’s uncle.” ms a 
- For Booxs in this extract, we ought, 
I apprehend, to fubftitute WooL. Mat- 
thew Paris, enumerating the contributors 
to Richard’s ranfom, has the words :— 
,“ Ordo Cifercienjis, qui hactenus liber ab 
omni exaétione extiterat, LANaM fuam 
univerfam ad Regis redemptionem dedit.** 
Hift. major. Tiguri 1589, 167. 
‘ From a fubfequent paflage it appears, 
that the revenue of thefe monks was prin- 
Cipally derived from the produce of their 
iheep-farms :—** Novit mundus, quod in 
LANIS eorum omnis eorum fudfittit com- 
meditas & fuftentatio.” 895. 
The text of the original was corrupted 
by the tranfcriber, who, being ignorant 
of this occurrence in Englifh hiftory; 
miftook LAINEs for LIVRES. : 
Of Henry’s partiality for the Cifter- 
cians it is impoflible to difeover any 
trace in the Chronicle of the honeft ane
