"A mosquito was seated on the horn of a bull, and fearing that his weight might be oppressive to the quadruped, he politely accosted him, begging that, if he felt any inconvenience, he would mention it, and professing himself ready, in that case, to remove to some other position. The bull replied, 'O mosquito, so far are you from oppressing me with your weight, that I was not even aware of your existence.'" The moral of this is common enough, but is the fable found elsewhere in a similar _form_? J. C. R. _Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, Bart._--As those who have read the deeply interesting memoirs of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton are aware, he was placed at a school in Donnybrook in the year 1802, and shortly after "entered" the University of Dublin. His success in that seat of learning, where able competitors were many in number, was brilliant; for "on the 14th of April in the same year [1807], he received his thirteenth premium, and also the highest honour of the university,--the gold medal. With these distinctions, and the four silver medals from the Historical Society, he prepared to return to England." In fact, so high did his character stand, that a proposal was made to him by the electors (which, however, he deemed it prudent to decline) to come forward as a candidate for the representation of the university in the imperial parliament, and good grounds were given him to expect a triumphant return. Now, this man was doubtless an honour to the "silent(?) sister" in Ireland; and, as an Irishman, I feel some little degree of pride in our having educated him so well for his subsequent career. With surprise, then, do I find, on referring to the _Dublin University Calendar_ for the present year, the name of a "Mr. _John Powell_ Buxton" in the list of gold medallists. The editor appears to be sadly ignorant of the proper person, and cannot lay the blunder at the printer's door, having very unaccountably repeated it from year to year. I have taken the trouble of examining many volumes of the _Calendar_. ABHBA _Anagrams._--I beg to forward the following: "Antonius B. Magliabechius" (He was the librarian at Florence, about the end of the sixteenth century). This name makes-- "Is unus Bibliotheca magna." In the poems of some Jesuit father (Bacchusius, I think) the following rather offensive one is mentioned, on the celebrated father Costerus: "Petrus Costerus Jesuita!" _i. e._ "Vere tu es asinus: ita!" PHILOBIBLION. * * * * * Queries. SEAL OF WILLIAM D'ALBINI. A few years since there was published a _History of the Parish of Attleburgh, in Norfolk_, by the then rector, Dr. Barrett. It is a very handsome volume in quarto, and reflects great credit upon the learning and taste of the reverend editor.
