Kent, now in my possession, contains the following interesting entry, made between 1720 and 1729 :— " It ia a dangerous thing to trust too much to a Man's Memory, in proving any matter by Quo- tations from Authors. The Ingenious Mr Pope has given too many Examples of this, & among the rest I wonder none of his Enemies had learning enough to remark the following Mistake. [In] book 18, v. 525, he makes this Note on y" Verse Then, slain by Phoebus (Hector had the Name) 'It is a passage worth taking notice of, that Brutus is said to have consulted the Sortes Homericce, & to have drawn one of these lines, wherein the Death of Patroclus is ascrib'd to Apollo; After which, Unthinkingly he gave the name of that God for the word of Battle. This is remark'd as an unfortunate omen by some of the ancients, tho I forget where I met with it.' He has indeed not only forgot where he met with it, but almost every part of y* Story it self; It is in Valerius Max: 1. 1, c. 5, de Ominibus, That Author tells us indeed that Brutus consulted the Sortes Homericse, but 'tis false that he drew any of these lines for tho Verse is in Val. set down which was this & not to be found in this book 'AAAa /« fioip' Ao>j xa' Aiirouc itcravtv viif. It is a greater mistake still to say that ho gave that Name Unthinkingly for y° word of Battle (that is as he himself means at y* fatal one at Philippi) for It is Mr Pope who has wrote all this Unthinkingly ; the direct contrary is true, viz., It was the word of battle given by the contrary side by Aug. Caesar, k M. Anthony, & so the God as Leader of his Enemies, might with much more propriety of Speech be said, or suppos'd, to be his Death, according as the Greek verse intimates, the Words in Val. are Qui deus Philippensi acie, a Caesare & Antonio signo datus, in eum tela convertit. Anyone may observe that as Mr Pope tells the Story it is quite Spoiled. Vide Appianuni lib. 4, de re eadem." W. I. R. V. Albert Gate, Knightsbkidge. (See 9lh S. i. 294.)—The following extract from the Pall Mall Gazette may be of interest in connexion with the former note with reference to Albert Gate. I am not aware that Planche wrote a farce on the subject of the two houses at Albert Gate, and think there must be some confusion on this point:— " We have an illustration of the change that has come over London people and their life at Albert Gate. The gate, with its two stags from the
