return of those present at Ciudad Rodrigo. When Her Majesty gracefully extended the honorary distinctions to all the survivors of the great war, Lord Beresford received the Peninsular medal, with two clasps, for Egypt and Ciudad Rodrigo." The expression should have been "the silver medal," not "Peninsular;" as, among the names of battles engraved on the clasps attached to the silver war-medals, granted in 1849, will be found the words "Martinique," "Fort Détroit," "Chateauguay," ," "Chrystler's Farm," and "Egypt." "For he that fights and runs away, Are these last two lines in the Musarum Delicia? p. 66 Corporations have no Souls," &c. (Vol. viii., P. 587.). In Poynder's Literary Extracts, under the title "Corporations," there occurs the following passage: "Lord Chancellor Thurlow said that corporations have neither bodies to be punished, nor souls to be condemned; they therefore do as they like." There are also two long extracts, one from Cow- Lord Mayor of London a Privy Councillor J. C. R. In so far as I can understand from the various Booty's Case (Vol. iii., p. 170.). A story rearticles in "N. & Q." regarding the above quo-sembling that of "Old Booty is to be found in tation, it is to be found in the Musarum Delicia, St. Gregory the Great's Dialogues, iii. 30., where 12mo., 1656. There is a copy of this volume now it is related that a hermit saw Theodoric thrown lying before me, the title-page of which runs thus: into the crater of Lipari by two of his victims, Pope John and Symmachus.

This copy seems to have at one time belonged to Longmans, as it is described in the Bib. An. Poetica, having the signatures of "Orator Henly," "Ritson," and "J. Park." I have read this volume over carefully twice, and I must confess my inability to find any such two lines as the above noted, there.

Celtic and Latin Languages (Vol. ix., p. 14.).— Allow me to suggest to T. H. T. that the word Gallus, a Gaul, is not, of course, the same as the Irish Gal, a stranger. Is it not rather the Latin form of Gaoithil (pronounced Gael or Gaul), the generic appellation of our Erse population? In Welsh it is Gwydyl, to this day their term for an Irishman. Gaoll, stranger, is used in Erie to denote a foreign settler, e. g. the Earl of Caithness is Morphear (pronounced Morar) Gaoll, the stranger great man; being lord of a corner of the land inhabited by a foreign race. Galloway, on the other hand, takes its name from the Gael, being possessed by a colony of that people from Kintyre, &c., who long retained the name of the wild Scots of Galloway, to distinguish them from the Brets or British inhabitants of the rest of the border. FRANCIS JOHN SCOTT, M.A. Holy Trinity, Tewkesbury. Brydone the Tourist's Birth-place (Vol. vii., p. 108.).--According to Chambers's Lives of Scotsmen, vol. i. p. 384., 1832, Brydone was the son of a clergyman in the neighbourhood of Dumbarton, where he was born in the year 1741. When he came to England, he was engaged as travelling preceptor by Mr. Beckford, to whom his Tour through Sicily and Malta is addressed. In a copy of this work, now before me, I find the following remarks written in pencil : "These travels are written in a very plausible style, but little dependence is to be placed upon their veracity. Brydone never was on the summit of Etna, although he describes the prospect from it in such glowing colours," It is right to add, that the writer of these remarks was long a resident in Italy, and in constant habits of intercourse with the most distinguished scholars of that country. Oxford. J. MACRAY. great industry and research, and by which he hopes to clear away the mists of error which have overshadowed the story of the Canynges family during the Middle Ages, and to show their connexion with the erection or restoration of Westbury College and Redcliff Church. As Mr. Pryce has some few inedited memoranda relating to Chatterton, he has done well to incorporate them in a volume dedicated in some measure to the history of Bristol's "Merchant Prince." Poetical Works of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, Minor Contemporaneous Poets, and Thomas Sackville, Lord Buckhurst, edited by Robert Bell, forms the second volume of Parker's Annotated Edition of the British Poets. Availing himself, very properly, of the labours of his predecessors, Mr. Bell has given us very agreeable and valuable memoirs of Surrey and Buckhurst; and we have no doubt that this cheap edition of their works will be the means of putting them into the hands of many readers to whom they were before almost entirely unknown. The Library Committee of the Society of Antiquaries, having had under their consideration the state of the engraved portraits in the possession of the Society, consulted one of the Fellows, Mr. W. Smith, as to the best mode of arrangement. That gentleman, having gone through the collection, advised that in future the Society should chiefly direct its attention to the formation of a series of engraved Portraits of the Fellows, and with great liberality presented about one hundred and fifty such portraits as his contribution towards such collection. Mr. Smith's notion is certainly a very happy one: and we mention that and dering as good service to the Society's Collection of his very handsome donation, in hopes of thereby renPortraits, as we are glad to learn has been rendered to their matchless Series of Proclamations by our occasional notices of them. Miscellaneous. NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. The second volume of Murray's British Classics, which is also the second of Mr. Cunningham's edition of The Works of Oliver Goldsmith, fully justifies all we said in commendation of its predecessor. It contains Goldsmith's Enquiry into the State of Polite Literature in Europe, and his admirable series of letters, entitled The Citizen of the World. Mr. Cunningham tells us that "he has been careful to mark all Goldsmith's own notes with his name; " his predecessors having in some instances adopted them as their own, and in others omitted them altogether, although they are at times curiously illustrative of the text. We are glad to see that Mr. Murray announces a new edition, revised and greatly enlarged, of Mr. Foster's valuable Life of Goldsmith, uniform with the present collection of Goldsmith's writings. Memorials of the Canynges Family and their Times; Westbury College, Redcliffe Church, and Chatterton, by George Pryce, is the somewhat abbreviated title of a goodly octavo volume, on which Mr. Pryce has bestowed * Scot or Scott is applied only to the men of Gaelic extraction in our old records.
