Hesiod has the following line : >*! 8' '"Yirvov fif.ro. \fp(rL Ko.ariyvrjTOV Qav-droio.

1 Theogony,' 756.

Shelley begins one of his poems thus : How wonderful is Death , Death and his brother Sleep !

I have met with the same expression in a minor poem of Butler, the author of ' Hudi- bras,' and elsewhere. E. YARDLEY.

"I EXPECT TO PASS THROUGH" (10 th S. i.

247). I feel absolutely convinced that I saw this quotation the other day in Addison's Spectator, the paragraph being written by Addison himself. It would be rather weari- some to me to re-read Addison throughout to endeavour to find it, but I am of firm belief that if the Spectator were thoroughly searched, that search would be rewarded by a dis- covery of the sentence.

In No. 1, vol. i. of the Spectator a very similar thought occurs. Addison writes (Thursday, 1 March, 1710/11) :

"If I can in any way contribute to the diversion or improvement of the country in which I live, I shall leave it, when I am summoned out of it, with the secret satisfaction of thinking that I have hot lived in vain."

CHAS. F. FOESHAW, LL.D. Bradford.

" DISCE PATI "(10 th S. i. 248).-This motto alludes not to the Camperdown arms, but to the crest, a dismasted ship. This ship is accounted for in an authenticated heraldic tradition which says that a member of the family who lived some two hundred years ago, having been supercargo on board a vessel bound from Norway to his native place, Dundee, was overtaken by a tremendous storm, in which the ship became almost a wreck, and the crew were reduced to the utmost distress. Contrary, however, to all expectations, they were enabled to navigate their crazy, crippled bark into port, and the parents of the thu

brtunately rescued son immediately adopted dangers their heir had so providentially escaped from. See Burke's ' Peerage.'

" Disce pati " is the key-note of many passages in the ' De Imitatione Christi.' The words in conjunction with others will be ! ound in lib. i. cap. xxiv. 1. 88 : " Disce te nunc in modico pati."

J. A. J. HOUSDEN.

Canonbury.

WILLIAM HARTLEY (10 th S. i. 87, 156, 198,

253). I must apologize to MISTLETOE for not

iqmprehending that Dr. Joseph Hartley and

Lieut.-Col. Joseph Hartley were one and the

same person. A. K. BAYLEY.

" DRUG IN THE MARKET " (10 th S. i. 149, 235). MR. MACMICHAEL'S kind quotation
 * rom Brewer's 'Phrase and Fable' puts me

into the ludicrous position of explaining that

am not unaware of the existence of that book. Some fifteen years ago, however, after having, from my own business experience, checked off certain of its statements, I discon- tinued the use of it ; and the 1897 edition did not encourage me to begin again. I am not sure that the quotation explains the words " in the market," but I have no wish to argue ; though " rubbish " is not now, and was not in 1747, the only meaning of drogue. I had consulted Skeat's 'Etymolo-

ical Dictionary,' but the Free Library here oes not include the ' Concise.' U. V. W. Carlisle.

" OLD ENGLAND " (10 th S. i. 189, 255). The fond term "Old England" is probably much older than the date, 1641, which is claimed for its first use by Dr. Brewer. Every one in Norfolk in the olden time thought Wey- bourne Hoop the key of the county, and there is still current a rime which is probably of ancient origin :

He who would old England win Must at Weybourne Hoop begin.

TIDES WELL AND TIDESLOW (9 th S. xii. 341, 517 ; 10 th S. i. 52, 91, 190, 228, 278, 292). I be- lieve SIR HERBERT MAXWELL and myself are in substantial agreement. The cases which he mentions are such as are fairly covered by the phrase " phonetic causes." I fear he was misled by the unlucky misprint of u for n t and by my use of the word "letter." What I meant was" The addition of a letter [i.e., a
