NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. m. FKB. 17, 1917.

Society of Stuttgart many years ago. Mrs. Henry Gust in her ' Gentlemen Errant ' (1909) devotes over 120 pp. to the wanderings of this " Bohemian Ulysses," and they also formed the subject of an interesting article by Richard Ford, the Spanish traveller, in The Quarterly Review for March, 1852.

39. A Letter on Sin in the Soul of a Justifyd

Man, &c., 1745. To it is prefixed a recom- mendatory preface by William Collins, the

obscure minister who left first the Tabernacle,- then Fetter Lane, then William Cudworth's- connection at Peter's Yard, Castle'Street. He published certain dialogues, wherein he sought to revive the doctrines ot Baptismal Regenera- tion and Transubstantiation among Dissenters. He was a mystic of a strange sort, with but a small following, and laboured at Wapping. 40. A letter bound with above, forming with it pp. 107-74. This is addressed to the Society at the Tabernacle in London, and may, though im- probably, be identical with 24. In Congrega- tional Library.

These facts would not be worth records- save that, as has been previously indicatedr in Mrs. Button's career and writings is to be found some explanation of the secessions that split early Methodism, and among her- associates there were those who inculcated sacramental doctrine akin to that of the Oxford Revival.

Any history of the strange sect known as Followers and Hearers of the Apostles would be a valuable contribution to this section of my research. J. C. WHITEBROOK.

ST. BARBARA, V.M. (12 S. iii. 41). A strictly authoritative, though not detailed account of St. Barbara, " ex sincerioribus Actis, ex S. Damascene, aliisque," may be- found in the Dominican Breviary, the three- lections of the second nocturn of Matins for- Dec. 4, on which day her feast is observed as a duplex in the Order. In the General Roman Kalendar St. Barbara is merely commemorated (by a collect, &e.) on Dec. 4,. that date being now assigned to St. Peter Chrysologus, a Doctor of the Church. But in the Archdiocese of Naples, where the- feast of St. Barbara ranks as a semiduplex ; in the Patriarchate of Venice, in many other dioceses, in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and Chile, in several religious orders, where the feast is kept as a duplex, St. Peter Chryso- logus is transferred to another date. In some cases the Mass used is " Loquebar,"*' the common of a Virgin and Martyr, but in many ethers there is a proper collect of St. Barbara :

" Intercessio, quaesumus Domine, beatae Bar- barae Uirginis et Martyris tuae ab omni nos aduers itate protegat : ut per eius interuentum gloriosissimum sacrosanct! Corporis et Sanguinis Domini nostri Jesu Christi sacramenturn, ante- diem exitus nostri, per ueram poenitentiam et puram conf essionem percipere mereamur : Qui< tecum uiuit et regnat. ..."

St. Barbara is the patroness of a good death,, and this beautiful prayer is referred to in a

isti iustitiam. . " The " Gloria in exeelsis " is- said.
 * In the Dominican Order the Mass is " Dilex-
