" HEY FOB CAVALIEBS, HOE FOB CAVA LIEBS." In * Woodstock,' vol. i. chap. v. Scott makes Roger Wildrake sing :

Hey for cavaliers ! Ho for cavaliers ! Pray for cavaliers !

Rub a dub rub a dub !

Have at old Beelzebub

Oliver smokes for fear.

This appears to be a fragment, abbreviated and altered, of a song headed "The Cavalier, A Song. By Mr. Samuel Butler," of which the first lines are

He that is a clear Cavalier.

See ' The Posthumous Works of Mr. Samuel Butler,' 4th ed., 1732, pp. 311-13 :

Hey for Cavaliers, Hoe for Cavaliers, Drink for Cavaliers, Fight for Cavaliers, Dubb a dubb, dubb a dubb, Have at old Belzebub, Oliver stinks for Fear.

These ' Posthumous Works ' were, accord- ing to Allibone, first published in three volumes in 1715, containing only three genuine pieces. ' The Cavalier ' is given in the third volume, 3rd edition, 1719, p. 201, which is in the British Museum Library. ROBERT PTEBPOINT.

HOLLOWAY RAILWAY STATION. Of the many recent changes in Islington, the dosing of this once important station is of special interest. Built in 1850 when the Great Northern Railway was opened, it remained for nearly twenty years a ticket-collecting station for all up trains ; and in the days before automatic or continuous brakes *it was imperative tnat all trains should be stopped here and " be prepared " for the long incline into the terminus at King's Cross. There was one memorable occasion when tl)is precaution proved inadequate, and the heavy train, with greatly increased momentum, forced a passage to within a few feet of the thoroughfare of King's Cross.

The early station at Holloway was a wooden island platform, reached from the

Caledonian Bridge by a ladder-like staircase and a long cinder path. From Holloway Road the entrance was for a short period. throufh a side turning (Eden Grove) and: by a level crossing ; but later direct access was provided from the principal thorough- fare. When the Cattle Market in Copen- hagen Fields was completed it was proposed to move the station nearer to the North. Road, but apparently the plan was not proceeded with.

For many years Holloway Station had the distinction of being the most rural railway station of London ; and until 1900-1, when the lines were widened and the station largely rebuilt, there existed opposite the up platform the deer park of Sir J. Tylor. This alteration alsa obliterated the last trace of Hagbush Lane, the earliest Islington highway. After running north and north-west from Ring Cross, it skirted the railway, entering the Caledonian Road behind the Board School (vide Coull's ' Islington,' p. 73 ; also The Railway Monthly, vol. xi. No. 65, p. 177, note by G. A. Nokes).

" RES NOLUNT DITJ MALE ADMIXISTBAEI."

The author of this quotation in Emerson's

Essay on Conversation ' was asked for at 9 S. ii. 389. The ultimate source is, un- doubtedly, the saying of Aristotle at the

nd of the eleventh book of the ' Meta- physics ' :

In Langius, ' Polyanthea,' ed. 1659, col. 758,. s.v. ' Deus,' it appears as " Rerum natura male administrari non vult."

Many examples could be given of the^ currency in a Latin form of quotations rom Aristotle. EDWABD BENSLY.

" PODDEN PLACE " AND " UPPEB PODDEN PLACE." In Bulwer Lytton's ' What will

He do with It ? ' one of the characters

named Mrs. Crane is represented as living n a small street in Bloomsbury called Upper Podden Place, which we might reasonably

assume to be in a line with Podden Place. ! believe, however, that as a matter of fact

no street in Bloomsbury has ever borne ither name, though none the less I believe hat the novelist had some real streets in.
