[The work referred to by our correspondent was written by Barclay, better known as the author of the _Argenis_. The First Part of the _Satyricon_, dedicated to James the First, was published, London, 12mo. 1603; and with the addition of the 2nd Part, Paris, 1605. The best edition of the work (which, really in two parts, is made, by the addition of the _Apologia Euphormionis_, &c. sometimes into five) is said to be the Elzevir 12mo., 1637. There are two editions of it _cum notis variorum_, Leyden, 1667 and 1669, 8vo., in two volumes. Of some of the editions (as that of 1623, 12mo.) it is said, "adjecta Clavi sive obscurorum et quasi ænigmaticorum nominum, in hoc Opere passim occurrentium, dilucida explicatione." The _Satyricon_ was twice translated into French; and its literary history, and that of the _Censura Euphormionis_, and other tracts, which it called forth, might furnish a curious and amusing paper.] * * * * * SERMONES SANCTI CAROLI BORROMÆI. Sir,--I have been wanting to get a sight of the following work, "Sermones Sancti Caroli Borromæi, Archiepisc. Mediol. Edidit. J.A. Saxius. 5 Tom. Mediol. 1747." Can I learn through your columns whether the work is any where accessible in London? I sought for it in vain at the British Museum a twelvemonth ago; nor, though then placed in their list of _Libri desiderati_, has it yet been procured. C. F. SECRETAN. * * * * * LUTHER AND ERASMUS. Mr. Editor,--The following lines, written in a hand of the early part of the seventeenth century, occur on the fly-leaf of a copy of the {28} _Translation of Luther on the Galatians_, edit. London, 4to. 1577. Can any of your readers oblige me by informing me who was their author? "Parum Lutherus ac Erasmus differunt Serpens uterque est, plenus atro toxico; Sed ille mordet ut cerastes in via, Hic fraudulentus mordet in silentio." Your obedient servant, ROTERODAMUS. * * * * * TOWER ROYAL--CONSTITUTION HILL--COUNTESS OF PEMBROKE'S LETTER--TENNISON'S FUNERAL SERMON ON NELL GWYNNE. Sir,--I should be glad to obtain answers to any or all of the following Queries:-- 1. What is the origin of the name TOWER ROYAL, as applied to a London locality, and when did our kings (if they ever inhabited it) cease to inhabit it? 2. When was CONSTITUTION HILL first so called, and why? 3. Is there any contemporary copy of the celebrated letter said to have been written by Anne Pembroke, Dorset and Montgomery, to Sir Joseph Williamson? It first appeared in _The World_. 4. Does a copy exist in MS., or in print, of the sermon which Archbishop Tennison preached at the funeral of Nell Gwynne? PETER CUNNINGHAM. * * * * * GROG--BISHOP BARNABY. Mr. Editor,--I hope you intend to keep a corner for Etymologies. Query, the origin of the word "Grog?"--And why do the people in Suffolk call a ladybird "Bishop Barnaby?"
