and V. were published within the same covers as Vols. I., II., III., but with different paging. (The fourteen numbers of Ley- bourn's Mathematical and Philosophical Repository and Review were issued in this way, 1796-1804.) Will some one please refer to the Museum copy to verify the surmise ? However this may be, Nos. I. VI. were published at Is. 6d. each, and Nos. VII.-XIV. at 2s. each.

Another point to remark is that the above fourteen numbers may be classed as a periodical publication, since the work is not merely a " reprint of selected portions," as MR. ANDERSON states (11 S. ii. 347). On several of the covers the editors' names are

fiven as " Chas. Hutton and others." he mode of collaboration is announced in reprinting the Diaries
 * The Ladies' Diary ' for 1771, p. 96. In

" it is intended to preserve every person's name and performance sacred and entire ; but, where they will admit of correction or Improvement, it will be done by way of Notes at the Bottom of the pages: and in this department he [Mr. Hutton] shall be glad of the Hints of every ingenious gentleman whose name shall be annexed to such Remarks as he may furnish, unless he desires the contrary."

2. In my query I also referred to the ' Diarian Repository ' published in 1774 "by a Society of Mathematicians." On the cover of No. II. of the ' Diarian Miscel- lany,' Hutton speaks bitterly of the publica- tion of No. I. of the ' Diarian Repository,' and refers to the editor as " Mr. S. Clark or A Society of Mathematicians." The ' Re- pository ' was, therefore, also issued in numbers between 1771 and 1774. What are the dates of these numbers ?

3. My first list contained "The Gentle- man's Diary or Mathematical Repository, 1741-1800. Ed. by T. S. Davies. 3 vols. London, 1814." Instead of " Ed. by T. S. Davies," I should have put " Davis' s edition." The publishers of Vol. I. were Davis & Dickson, of Vol. III., A. Davis & Co. This work also seems to have been issued in parts, as the following note occurs in Vol. III. : " Communications for the improvement of the earlier and future parts of this work and corrected solutions will be thankfully received."

MATHEMATICAL PERIODICALS : C. HUT- TON'S 'MISCELLANEA MATHEMATICA ' (US. ii. 347, 434). Although I cannot give MR. ANDERSON the information he wishes, I have no doubt but that it may be found on the covers of the XIV. numbers of the Diarian Miscellany ' to which I have referred above.

I also should be glad iff some one who hp,s access to this work would publish the dates thus found. I venture the guess that the first number of the Miscellanea Mathe- matica appeared in 1771 and that Lowndes' remark, which MR. ANDERSON quotes, is correct. R. C. ARCHIBALD.

AUTHORS or QUOTATIONS WANTED (11 S. ii. 408, 512). Nothing like the words /ccu/aw SovAevetv TOVS SoKoiWas apxeiv, mentioned by MR. PIERFOINT as attributed to Thu- cydides. can be found in Bet ant's * Lexicon Thucydideum,' 1843. I do not believe that the expression occurs in Thucydides.

In an epigram by Palladas (end of the fourth century A.D.) in the ' Palatine Anthology,' ix* 441, relating to a statue of Hercules which has been cast down from its place, Hercules is made to say, Kou/ato OovXevetv KCU 0ebs &v fyaOov, "Though a god, I have learnt to obey the times."

PARISH FORMATION (11 S. iii. 88, 175). The origin of parishes is dealt with in Southey's 'Book of the Church,' 1825, which will probably be found to be the most readable popular account. Holland has en article, given in Hearne, on the ' Antiquity of Parishes.' ' A Book of the Names of all Parishes and Market Towns in England and Wales ' was published in 1677.

With regard to Scottish parishes, &n examination of the ' Origines Parochial es Scotise,' 1850-55, 3 vols., published by the Bannatvne Club, is indispensable.

PENSIONERS IN THE LONG PARLIAMENT (11 S. iii. 103). Those who desire fuller information on this subject than that given by MR. J. C. RINGHAM from The Universal Magazine of January, 1750, may usefully refer to J. C. Hotten's reprint (' Sarcastic Notices of the Long Parliament,' 1863) of the excessively rare pamphlet, published in 1660, called ' The Mystery of the Good Old Cause briefly unfolded. In a Catalogue of such Members of the late Long Parliament, that held Places both Civil and Military, contrary to the Self-denying Ordinance of April 3, 1645.' Readers with Cromwellian leanings will find a congenial antidote in the ' Flagellum Parliament arium,' also reprinted by Hotten, but originally published by J. B. Nichols in 1827 from the Lansdowne MS. 805 in the British Museum. The ' Flagel- lum ' consists of sarcastic notices of nearly two hundred members of the first Parlia- ment after the Restoration, 1661-78.
