churchyard from and to various points, the majority of the stones lying flat on the ground, and so subject to a great deal of wear and tear. W. E. HARLAND-OXLEY.

Westminster.

ONE-TREE HILL, GREENWICH (10 S. x. 70). Although not, perhaps, so named at the time when Le Notre, the famous French architect and ornamental gardener, laid out Greenwich Park in the days of the second Charles and it of course possibly existed before Le Notre " viewed the landscape o'er " yet the presumption is reasonable enough that the " One Tree " existed long before James I. walled round the 188 acres then constituting the royal demesne. The tree, if I mistake not, from MR. GOULD'S description, was too old to have been planted by Le Notre. J. HOLDEN MACMICHAEL.

"CARDINAL" OF ST. PAUL'S (10 S. x. 85). A list of the successive holders of the office of " Senior Cardinal, or Second Minor Canon," also of that of " Junior Cardinal, or Third Minor Canon," is given in Hennessy's * Novum Repertorium.' Each list commences with the year 1309, and comprises over thirty names to c. 1880 ; the succession is complete from temp. Elizabeth only. In the fifteenth century the two posts appear to have been held conjointly on several occasions.

Perhaps the most celebrated cleric named in either list is Richard Harris Barham, author of * The Ingoldsby Legends,' who held the office of Senior Cardinal from 1833 till his death in 1845.

WILLIAM MCMURRAY.

It is in allusion to this dignity that the artist has introduced the Cardinal's hat on the title-page of ' The Ingoldsby Legends,' Barham having been one of the Cardinals of St. Paul's. R. B.

Upton.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (10 S. vii. 228).

Vir bonus es doctus prudens ast hand tibi spiro. MR. SHAWCROSS does not refer to any source for this line in his recent edition of Cole- ridge's * Biographia Literaria and ^Esthetical Essays ' (2 vols., Clarendon Press, 1908). The words " Non tibi spiro " form the head- ing of one of Joachim Camerarius's Emblems (' Symbola et Emblemata,' Cent. i. 93), the pig and marjoram.

In Coleridge's text (chap, xii.) the words " Haud tibi spiro " are distinguished from the rest of the line by being in italics. The

context ("To such a mind I would as courteously as possible convey the hint r that for him the chapter was not written ") shows that these words are used in the same sense as the motto of Camerarius's emblem.

At 10 S. vii. 309, Ao. 12, the reference was- asked for where Cicero says : " You may trust him, for he is a frugal man." There are two passages in the ' Tusculan Disputa- tions ' from which this sentiment may be- deduced (not that " frugal " can be accepted as an adequate rendering of frugi) :

"Reliquas etiam virtutes frugalitas continet.'' III. 8, 16.

"Quod nisi eo nomine virtutes continerentur nunquam ita pervulgatum illud esset ut iam pro- verbii locum obtineret, hominem frugi omnia recte facere." IV. 16, 36.

Bad Wildungen.

The phrase inquired after by K. P. D. E. r ante, p. 108, " Sufficit huic tumulus cui non suffecerat orbis," is given in Cassell's ' Book of Quotations ' as an epitaph on Alexander the Great, but no author is mentioned. Whoever wrote it must have had in his- mind these lines of Juvenal (x. 168-73) : Unus Pellseo juveni non sufficit orbis : ^stuat infelix angusto limite mundi, Ut Gyarse clausus scopulis paryaque Seripho. Cum tameii a figulis munitam intraverit urbem, Sarcophagq contentus erit, Mors sola fatetur, Quantula sint hominum corpuscula.

R. A. POTTS.

Juvenal in his tenth satire has the same thought, and has used much the same- language. Shakspeare has hit on the same idea in ' Henry IV.' Prince Henry says of the dead Hotspur :

When that this body did contain a spirit, A kingdom for it was too small a bound ; Bub now two paces of the vilest earth Is room enough.

E. YARDLEY.

T. X. S. will find " The idols of the market- place," &c. (ante, p. 129), in the ' Novum Organum,' Book I. lix. I have at hand only Johnson's translation (Bell & Daldy y 1859). F. JARRATT.

Yet who would stop, or fear to advance, is from the first stanza of Wordsworth's ' Stepping Westward.' The prefatory note says that the poem was the result of an incident while he was walking " by the side- of Loch Katrine, one fine evening after sunset." W. B.
