p. 19, 1. 7 was written the authorship of this sentence has been again discussed in Notes and Queries, 1880. "The sphere of Trismegistus" is mentioned in Pseud. Epid. vii. 3, where Wilkin gives the following note by Dean Wren :- Trismegistus sayd God was a circle, whose center (that is, His presentiall and immutable essence, from whence all things have their beinge,) is every where, but His circumference (that is, His incomprehensible infinity,) is noe where."

P. 204, l. 18. honest in a right line] "Linea recta brevis. sima. (Note in E.)

(Note in E.) Gardiner (w) refers to Pliny, Hist. Nat. xii. 5, and Milton, Par. Lost, ix. 1,100, &c.

P. 205, 1. 29. things below] The following passage occurs here in MS. Sloane, 1847:-So mayst thou carry a smooth face, and sit down in contentation, without those cancerous commotions which take up every suffering, displeasing at things successful unto others, which the Arch-Disposer of all things thinks not fit for ourselves. To rejoice only in thine [own] good, exclusively to that of others, is a stiff piece of self-love, wanting the supplying oil of benevolence and charity." P. 205, 1. ult. that inhumane vice] Aristotle, Eth. ii. 7, 15.] (Note in E.)

Alluding to the story of

P. 209, 1. II. with black sails] Theseus, who had black sails when he went to engage the

Minotaur in Crete (Note in П), and forgot to change them for white when he returned triumphant. (Plutarch, Vit. Thes. cc. 17, 22.) Or Sir T. B. might possibly have been thinking of the somewhat similar story told in connexion with the death of Sir Tristram. (See Brewer's Dict. of Phrase and Fable.)

P. 210, 1. 1. Pompey and his Sons] "Pompeios juvenes Asia atque Europa, sed ipsum | Terra tegit Libyes." (Note in E.) See Martial, Epigr. v. 74. The same allusion and quotation occur in the Epistle Dedicatory to the Hydriotaphia.

P. 210, l. 14. Covarrubias] "Don Sebastian de Covarrubias writ three Centuries of 'Moral Emblems' in Spanish. In the 88th of the second Century [fol. 188, Madrid, 1610] he sets down two faces averse, and conjoined Janus-like; the one a gallant, beautiful face, the other a death's head face, with this motto out of Ovid's Metamorphoses, [ii. 551] 'Quid fuerim, quid simque vide."" (Note in E).

P. 211, 1. 17. in a périscian state] meaning, with shadows all round us. The periscii [epiokioi] are those, who, living within the polar circle, see the sun move round them, and consequently project their shadows in all directions. (Note in II.)

P. 211, 1. 24. stuft with rubbidge, &c.] Pliny in his description of the Colossus of Rhodes says, "vasti specus hiant defractis membris spectantur intus magnæ molis saxa, quorum pondere stabiliverat constituens." (Hist. Nat. xxxiv. 18.)

P. 212, l. 15. Historia Horribilis] "A book so entituled, wherein are sundry horrid accounts." (Note in E.) No doubt he means the book published by Henningus Grosius at Isleben in 1597, and republished in 1656, with the title :—“Tragica, seu tristium historiarum de pœnis criminalibus et exitu horribili eorum [&c. &c.] libri duo." It is a second part to his "Magica." Watt (Biblioth. Britann.) gives its title as "Horribiles Historiæ," probably the short name by which it was commonly known. Sir T. B. mentions it again near the end of Pseud. Epid. p. 440, ed. 1672.

P. 212, l. 15. flay not thy servant for a broken glass] referring

to the story of Vedius Pollio, who ordered a slave to be thrown into his pond to feed his lampreys, for happening to break a glass at supper. (Seneca, De Irâ, iii. 40.)

P. 212, 1. 16. nor pound him in a mortar who offendeth thee] Anaxarchus was killed in this manner by Nicocreon, King of Cyprus. (Diogenes Laërtius, Vit. Philos. ix. 10 § 59.) P. 213, 1. 4. like Homerican Mars]

"Tu miser exclamas, ut Stentora vincere possis,

P. 219, 1.,26. Olybius his urn] "which after many hundred years was found burning under ground, and went out as soon as the air came to it." (Note in E.) This story is mentioned also in the Pseud. Epid. iii. 21, vol. i. p. 327, ed. Bohn. For a curious discussion on these marvellous lamps, see Ozanam's Philosophical Recreations, by Hatton, vol. i. p. 496 (Wilkin). Jeremy Taylor mentions the subject on the authority of Licetus, De Recond. Antiq. Lucernis, vol. i. p. lxvii. ; vol. iv. p. 481,

P. 221, 1. 22. a moralist of the Mount] that is, according to the rules laid down in our Saviour's Sermon on the Mount. (Note in II.)

P. 222, 1. 2. about the sixtieth part of Time] What this exactly means is not quite clear, though none of the previous editors have thought it necessary to explain the expression. It seems to agree in a rough way with the "seventy or eighty years" mentioned at the beginning of this section; and Sir T. B. says (p. 314, 1. 23), “I have not seen the sixtieth part of Time," when he was probably not quite seventy years old. But even eighty years multiplied by sixty only comes to 4,800, and this is far too short a period to have been assigned either to "Time,' or to our Earth, even in the seventeenth century. Upon the whole it seems probable that Sir T. B. was thinking of the six thousand years, which he has mentioned several times before (see Note on p. 72, 1. 27); but if so, it would have been more accurate to call a man's life "about the eightieth part of Time" than the "sixtieth." There is a similar expression below, p. 230, l. 17, &c.

P. 222, 1. 27. Orbity, &c.] His riches may be to him a source of repentance and regret, because he has been deprived of all his natural heirs.
