admirable factor (in conjunction with flannel waistcoats) in reforming the natives of tropical climes, as in the case of Borrio- boola-Gha, on the left bank of the Niger.

Should any of your readers possess so delectable a rarity as the moral pocket- handkerchief, they are requested to com- municate with C. VAN NOORDEN.

35, Lincoln's Inn Fields, W.C.

As the subject of ' ' moral pockethandker- chiefs " has been brought forward, I may perhaps mention that "temperance handker- chiefs " were on sale at Winterton, co. Line., about 1841 or 1842, when I bought one. There was a figure of Father Mathew, surrounded by scenes representing the horrors caused by drink. These pictures had a moral effect on me which I have never ceased to feel. The draper, of whom I bought the handkerchief was a teetotaller and Methodist preacher, and I remember his saying, " We '11 wrap Father Mathew up in a piece of paper.'* On Father Mathew see 'D.X.B. 1 J.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (11 S. i. 30).

Shine as the countenance of a priest of old. The quotation inquired after by MR. FOSTER PALMER is from Tennyson's ' Pelleas and Ettarre,' paragraph 13. My version (1892) differs slightly and, with context, reads thus :

The men who met him rounded on their heels And wondered after him, because his face Shone like the countenance of a priest of old Against the flame about a sacrifice Kindled by fire from heaven : so glad was he.

C. S. MASON.

With regard to MR. PRESLEY'S second quotation (ante, p. 109),

Eye hath not seen, ear heard, or heart conceived, &c.,

he may like to know that Samuel Hayes, living in the end of the eighteenth century, is credited with the following lines in Foster's ' Dictionary of Poetical Illustrations,' 3rd ed., London, 1874 :

Eye hath not seen,

Ear hath not heard, nor can the human heart Those joys conceive, which blissful heritage Christ for his faithful votaries prepares.

MR. PRESLEY'S fourth quotation,

Before her face her handkerchief, &c., is from Pope's ' Wife of Bath, 1 11. 311-12 :

Before my face my handkerchief I spread To hide the flood of tears I did not shed.

The reference was supplied by the late C. F. S. WARREN at 5 S. viii. 119 (11 Aug., 1877). W. SCOTT.

The details about Prof. Tyrrell's quota- tion in the REV. LAWRENCE PHILLIPS' s query (ante, p. 149) are not quite exact. The original of Dr. Kennedy's Latin is not " some lines,' 1 but the following apophthegm in prose ; " God is on the side of Virtue : for whoever dreads punishment, suffers it ; and whoever deserves it, dreads it." The author is not Cotton, but the Rev. Charles Caleb Colton, author of ' Lacon ; or, Many Things in Few Words addressed to those who Think,' first published in 1820. The version which Prof. Tyrrell quotes is from ' Arun- dines Cami * (p. 341, 4th ed., 1851). But Kennedy afterwards modified his rendering, for on p. 191 of his ' Between Whiles l (1877) it appears in the following form :

Virtuti bene uelle Deum sic collige : poenas (^ui meriti, metuunt ; qui metuere, luunt.

In the English original printed opposite this later version the verbs after "who- ever" are made plural ("dread,'* "suffer,'* &c.).
