_The Duke of Wellington and Marshal Ney. Parallel Passage in the Life of Washington and Major André._--J. R. of Cork (Vol. vi., p. 480.) tells how Wellington was in his youth smitten with the charms of a lady, who, in after-life having appealed to him to save the life of Ney, was not simply unsuccessful in her object but was ordered to quit Paris forthwith. J. B. Burke, in the _Patrician_, vol. vi. p. 372., tells how Washington endeavoured to win the love of Mary Phillipse, and how he failed: how years rolled on, and the rejected lover as Commander-in-Chief of the American forces was supplicated by the same Mary, then the wife of Roger Morris, to spare the life of Andre. The appeal failed, and one of the General's aides was ordered to conduct the lady beyond the lines. ST. JOHNS. _St. Bernard versus Fulke Greville._--On lately reading over the fine philosophical poem _Of Humane Learning_, by Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke, I was struck at finding that the 144th stanza was a literal transcript from St. Bernard. Some of your readers may possibly be amused or interested by the discovery: "Yet some seeke knowledge, meerely to be knowne, And idle curiositie that is; Some but to sell, not freely to bestow, These gaine and spend both time and health amisse; Embasing arts, by basely deeming so, Some to build others, which is charity, But those to build themselves, who wise men be." _Workes_, p. 50.: Lond. 1633, 8vo. "Sunt namque qui scire volunt eo fine tantum, ut sciant: et turpis curiositas est. Et sunt item qui scire volunt, ut scientiam suam vendant, verbi causa pro pecunia, pro honoribus: et turpis quæstus est. Sed sunt quoque qui scire volunt, ut ædificentur: et prudentia est."--S. Bernardi _In Cantica Serm._ xxxvi. Sect 3. _Opp._, vol. i. p. 1404. Parisiis, 1719, fol. It is no mean eulogy upon Lord Brooke's poem just referred to, to say that it stood high in the estimation of the late Rev. Hugh James Rose, and was quoted approvingly by him in his lectures before the Durham University. My acquaintance with it was first derived from that source, and I am confident that many others of your readers sympathise with the wishes of MR. CROSSLEY, for "a collected edition of the works of the two noble Grevilles" ("N. & Q.," Vol. iv., p. 139.). The facts upon which the tragedy of _Mustapha_ is founded are graphically summed up by Knolles in his _Historie of the Turkes_, pp. 757-65.: London, 1633, fol. RT. Warmington.
