_Cibber's "Lives of the Poets_" (Vol. v., p. 25.).--When MR. CROSSLEY inserted in your pages, at great length, the _original_ prospectus of Cibber's _Lives_, he was not aware that it had been _reprinted_ before. Such, however, is the case, as may be seen by turning to the sixth volume of Sir Egerton Brydges' _Censura Literaria_, ed. 1808, p. 352. It was communicated to the columns of that work by that diligent antiquary in literary matters, Joseph Haslewood. MR. CROSSLEY says, "It is rather extraordinary that none of Dr. Johnson's biographers appear to have been aware that the prospectus of Cibber's _Lives_ was furnished by Johnson." Where is there the slightest _proof_ that Johnson wrote one line of it? Haslewood believed it to have been the production of Messrs. Cibber and Shiels. Does MR. CROSSLEY ground his claim for Johnson merely upon a fancied resemblance in _style_? EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. _Parallel Passages, No. 2.--Stars and Flowers_ (Vol. vii., p. 151.).--Other parallels on this subject are given in "N. & Q." (Vol. iv., p. 22.), to which may be added the following: "Silently, one by one, on the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossom'd the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels." Longfellow's _Evangeline_, Part I. iii. p. 187. of the Liverpool edition. ZEUS. _Schomberg's Epitaph_ (Vol. vii., p. 13.).--I find this entry in my note-book:--The following inscription is written on a black slab of marble, affixed to the wall of the choir of St. Patrick's Cathedral. The remains of the duke were removed to this cathedral immediately after the battle of the Boyne; and on the 10th July, 1690, they were deposited under the altar. The relatives of this great man having neglected to raise any monument to his memory, Dean Swift undertook and caused the above slab to be erected, having first vainly applied to the connexions of the deceased. His sword is in the possession of the society of the "Friendly Brothers," Dublin. The following is the inscription on the slab: "Hic infra situm est corpus Frederici Ducis de Schonberg ad Bubindam occisi A.D. 1690. Decanus et Capitulum maximopere etiam atque etiam petierunt, ut hæredes Ducis, monumentum in memoriam parentis erigendum curarent. Sed postquam per epistolas, per amicos, diu ac sæpe orando nil profecere, hunc demum lapidem statuerunt; saltem ut scias hospes ubinam terrarum Schonbergenses cineres delitescunt. "Plus potuit fama virtutis apud alienos quam sanguinis proximitas apud suos, A.D. 1731." CLERICUS (D.) Dublin. _Pilgrimages to the Holy Land_ (Vol. v., p. 289.).--There is still another book to be added to the curious list of old pilgrimages to the Holy Land, furnished by your correspondent PEREGRINE A. I derive my knowledge of it from Brunet's _Manuel_, sub voce CAPODILISTA (GABRIELE), where it is described as follows:
