Allhallows (1 st S. xi. 148.) F. G. C. is referred to the Index to the Parishes in the Population Tables, 1852, for the purpose of showing that in- stead of having been turned into " All Saints," there are thirteen churches in England still bear- ing the ancient name of Allhallows. May I add, that in the City of London are to be found eight parishes of this name, viz. Allhallows Barking ; Allhallows, Bread Street ; Allhallows, Honey Lane ; Allhallows, Lombard Street ; Allhallows, London Wall ; Allhallows Staning (Mark Lnne) 5 Allhallows the Great ; Allhallows the Less.

The Bible (2 nd S. i. 314. 377.) I send you the following list of words collected from the writings of S. Cyril of Alexandria, which he uses for the Bible, which may serve as an appendix to the answer in " N. & Q.," and may help to show how unsettled their phrase was : that which comes first in order is the expression used by S. Paul in his Epistle to Timothy, to denote the Old Testament, where he says, " Thou from a child hast known the Holy Scriptures." The third in my list I have met with in S. Athanasius, but my reading has not been extensive enough for any complete list :

Motto for an Index (2 nd S. i. 413.) I beg to propose as a motto for MB. J: NURSE CHADWICK'S index, the old Latin saying, " Verbuin sat."

Your correspondent requires a maxim or motto for an index. I fear with the readers of " N. & Q.," as with its excellent editor, the following as a maxim will find no favour.

(I) I (n) never (d) did (e) ensure (x) ex,act- ness. F. PHILLOTT.

Stanton Prior.

I beg to suggest as a motto for an index the following from Horace : " Monstror digito prater - euntium." F. C. II.

Paraph (2 nd S. i. 373. 420.) The remark to which ESTE refers will be found in The Times of the 31st January last. In the letter of the Aus- trian (not of the French) correspondent, dated Vienna, Jan. 26., is the following :

"As you have-already been informed, a kind of protocol of what had occurred was drawn up at St. Petersburg, and signed or 'paraphed*' by Count Nesselrode for Russia, and Count Valentine Esterhazy for Austria."

And there is this note :

"* The meaning of the diplomatic expression 'pa- raphed ' is, that the initials of the parties concerned are attached to a document."

Further on are the following passages, which will assist Q. in arriving at the exact force of the word :

" Russia desires, 1st. That the preliminaries of peace be paraphed in this city by the representatives of the four Powers; and 2ndly, That they, the preliminaries, be signed in the capital of Frarice."

" The British Cabinet is certainly morally bound to sign the preliminaries of peace as they now stand, al- though the Earl of Clarendon did not 'paraph ' the "re- vised. Austrian propositions as M. de Walewski did."

AHUN.

The subject of paraphes, as used by notaries public in France and Spain, and indeed by all public men, has already been discussed, art. "Notaries," in "N. & Q,," 1 st S. x. 87. 315.; xii. 35. An example is given in the " Repertory of Deeds and Documents relating to the Borough of Great Yarmouth." Printed by order of the Town Council, 1855, prefixed to the Report of the Ancient Writings, by Henry Manship, Town Clerk, 1612. E. S. TAYLOR.

Door-head Inscriptions (2 nd S. i. 379.) On a cottage at Lockwitz, in Saxony (black letter) :

" i< Mit Gottes segen ist alles gelegen. >i< " (" With God's blessing everything succeeds.")

Buskin's Stones of Venice (vol. iii. p. 210.) gives the following :

On the Casa Dario at Venice (no date) :

" Vrbis . Genio . Joannes . Darivs," On the Casa Trevisan at Venice :

" Soli II Honor, et

Deo I! Gloria."

On the Loredano Vendramin Palace, at S. Mar- cuola (on the fagade) :

" Non Nobis Domine."

Strict Discipline formerly practised at Schools (2 nd S. i. 53. 131.) The following quaint ac- count of Richard Mulcaster's method of teaching is rather curious, and may perhaps be worth pre- serving in your miscellany. Mulcaster was edu- cated under the celebrated Ascham, whose severity he perhaps imbibed. He was the first master of Merchant Taylors' School, and afterwards of St. Paul's ; the famous Bishop Andrewes was a pupil of his. He died April 15, 1611. Accounts of him may be found in Knight's Life of Colet, Strype's Stow, Wilson's History of Merchant Taylors' Schools, Gentleman's Magazine, &c. &c. :

" In the morning he would exactly construe and parse, which done, he slept his hour (custom made him critical to proportion it) in his desk in the school ; but woe be
