_Biblicus on the Apocalypse._--I shall feel much obliged if any reader of "N. & Q." will give me information respecting a series of articles which appeared about the year 1819 in some newspaper or periodical with the signature of _Biblicus_ {585} appended to them: they were intended, as far as I can learn, to be a sort of commentary on some portion of the Apocalypse. The writer left his work unfinished; but as many as appeared thus periodically were afterwards published in a separate pamphlet. I should be glad to know where a copy of this pamphlet is to be had; or in what paper the articles originally appeared. F. N. _Cleopatra playing at Billiards._--Perhaps one of your readers, more learned in Shakspeare than myself, can tell me what game he refers to in the following extract: "_Cleo._ Let us to billiards. Come, Charmian. _Char._ My arm is sore: best play with Mardian." _Ant. and Cleo._, Act II. Sc. 5. Can the game of billiards, as we now have it, boast of such high antiquity as to have been played by "the serpent of Old Nile;" or is the mention of it simply one of the great poet's anachronisms? CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A. "_Then comes the reckoning_," &c.--Who is the author of the following well-known couplet? "Then comes the reckoning when the feast is o'er, The dreadful reckoning, when men smile no more." A CONSTANT READER. _Giving the Sack._--Will any of your numerous readers kindly explain to me the _origin_ of the phrases "to give any one the sack or bag," and "einem einen Korb geben"? We must all be aware of their acceptation. THOMAS LAWRENCE. Ashby-de-la-Zouch. _Scotch Provincial Tokens of the Seventeenth Century._--Can any of your readers inform me if there were any of these tokens, which were so abundant throughout England, Wales, and Ireland, issued in Scotland? R. H. B. _Burial of Sir John Moore._--You have had many very interesting communications respecting the justly admired poem on "The Burial of Sir John Moore." Let me ask whether it was a matter of fact, that they "buried him darkly at dead of night"? I believe the clergyman who read the service is now living near Hereford, and that he will state that the interment took place _in the morning_ after the battle. BALLIOLENSIS. _Mexican, &c. Grammar._--I hope some of your readers can tell me where I may get a grammar of the language of the Mexicans, Chilians, or any other of the tribes of South America. The Spanish missionaries compiled grammars of some of the South American tongues; but I think they must have become scarce, as I can never find one in any catalogue of old books. W. B. D. _Foundation Stones._--In the _Illustrated News_ of the 29th of May, is an account of the masonic jewels for the grand lodge of England, including three ivory gavels for "laying foundation stones:" hence arise the following Queries. When did the laying of foundation stones first become a ceremony?
