In Webster's 'International Dictionary,' 1907, the translation is : " The one needs the assistances of the other." J. DE BERNIERE SMITH. [We suspect the querist guessed that this was the sense intended, but could hardly get it out of the Latin.] DE GONCOURT ON COLLECTING (12 S. ix. 249, 315). I beg leave to enclose the extract from de Goncourt's will, which answers the question : My wish is that my Drawings, my Prints, my Curiosities, my Books in a word, these things of art which have been the joy of my life shall not be consigned to the cold tomb of a museum, and subjected to the stupid glance of the care- less passer-by ; but I require that they shall all be dispersed under the hammer of the Auctioneer, so that the pleasure which the acquiring of each one of them has given me shall be given again, in each case, to some inheritor of my own tastes. STEVENSON H. WALSH. [The French text appeared at the second reference, but the English translation kindly sent I iy our correspondent from Philadelphia may well be of interest. I EARLY HISTORY OF CRICKET (12 S. ix. 311, 358). The catalogue of the pictures, drawings, &c., belonging to the Maryle- bone Cricket Club for 1912 (No. 153) shows that it possesses a copy of the print men- tioned at the last reference, which is, or lately was, hanging up in the committee room in the Pavilion at Lord's. I also possess a copy. Copies, I understand, are not very rare. STAPLETON MARTIN. The Firs, Norton, Worcester. ALEXANDER SIMSON, BURGESS OF DUN- DEE (12 S. ix. 331). I am interested in the family of Simson, and have a note that Alexander Simson, merchant, was admitted a burgess of Dundee in 1792. He married Jean, daughter of George Wilson, also a merchant in Dundee, and had issue : 1. David, an artist. 2. William, born in Dundee in 1800, an artist at Edinburgh Trustees Academy. He settled in, London, where he died in 1847. 3. George, also an artist. I regret I do not know the name of Alexander Simson' s parents, nor the date of his birth or death, and I have no evidence that he was a connexion of the Simsons of Pitcorthie and Bnmton. Other burgesses of Dundee named Simson were : Viliame Simsone, merchant, who died 1608, aged 60. David Simson, weaver, admitted in 1753. Andrew Simson, son of above, admitted in 1769. I think it likely that Alexander was. connected with Andrew Simson. JAMES SETON-ANDERSON. 39, Carlisle Road, Hove, Sussex.
