F. Amns. Gusvssa (9"= S. vi. 270).-In reply to the query of Ma. Gnsvaiu respecting the history of that family, I find I_n Pxferra, the following on p. 22, vol. i., ‘ Nobihario Espanol] under Guevara :- ‘f This lineage descends directly from kings, and is one of the most ancient of Vizcaya. Many genea- logical writers, especiallb Bsrahonas, preten that they descend from the ukes of Brittany.

He chid Ilthe - sisters. ‘Macbet .’ In the above line the second and fourth feet are anapaests. In the following passage there are many trisyllabic feet:- Therefore, O Antony, stay not by his side: Th daemon, that’s thy spirit which keeps thee, is Noble, cours eous, high, unmatchable, Where CR8855 is not: but, near him, thy angel Becomes a fear, as being cferpowered. ‘ Antony and Cleo| .tra.
