"Bishops' Bible, first edition, 1568. There is also a double translation of the Psalms, one from what is called the Great Bible, the other entirely a new one." Will any of your correspondents be so obliging as to state what is the additional version--new or other--there alluded to, other than the present Liturgy version? X.X. * * * * * MISCELLANIES. _Sir William Rider_.--"P.C.S.S." is happy to be able to answer one of the questions of "H.F." (at p. 186. No. 12.), by referring him to the _Extracts from the Parish Registers of St. Olave's_, which were published in vol. ii. of the _Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica_. At p. 316., of that volume, he will find the following entry, which pretty nearly determines the date of Sir William Rider's death:--"1611, November 19. Sir William Rider diing at Leyton, had his funeralle solemnized in our Church, the hearss being brought from Clothworkers' Hall." In a note to the above entry a further reference is made to Lyson's _Environs_, vol. iv. pp. 160, 161. 165. SONNET. _Written on the opening of the Session_, 1847. "For him was lever han at his beddes hed Twenty bokes clothed in black or red, Of Aristotle, and his philosophie, Than robes riche, or fidel, or sautrie." CHAUCER "Me, poor man! my library Was dukedom large enough."--SHAKSPEARE. Farewell, my trusty leathern-coated friends! 'Tis fitting, for a while, that we should part; For I, as duty points, must shape my ends, Obey what reason bids, and not my heart. What though 'tis mine to listen in that Hall Where England's peers, "grave, rev'rend, potent," sit, To hear the classic words of STANLEY fall, BROUGHAM'S biting sarcasm, LYNDHURST'S polished wit, The measur'd sentence of THE GREAT CALM DUKE-- It is not mine to commune with the men. Not so when I unfold some favorite book, CHAUCER and I grow boon companions then; And SHAKSPEARE, deigning at my hearth to sit, Charms me with mingled love, philosophy, and wit. WILLIAM J. THOMS. _Pilgrimages of Princes--Bernard Calver--Passage from Hudibras_.--In reply to Mr. Beauchamp's query, No. 11. p. 173., _The Pilgrimage of Princes, penned out of Greek and Latine Authors, London_, 1586, 4to., was written by Ludowic Lloyd. See Watt's _Bibliotheca Brit_., vol. iii. p. 612. No. 11., p. 167. Mr. Stevens will find some account of "Bernard Calver," in Granger's _Letters_, 8vo., but I have not the book to refer to. No. 12., p. 177. Menage observes, in speaking of Monsieur Perier's abuse of Horace for running away from the battle of Philippi, "Relietâ non bene parmulâ," "Mais je le pardonne, parce qu'il ne sait peut-être pas que les Grecs ont dit en faveur des _Fuiars_." "[Greek: Aner o pheugon kai palin machesetai]" _Menagiana_, vol. i. p. 248. Amst. 1713. Perhaps Erasmus translated this "_apophthegme_." Audley End, Jan. 19. 1850. BRAYBROOKE.
