_Westminster Parishes_ (Vol. vii., p. 454.).--In 1630 the City and Liberties of Westminster contained the churches of St. Margaret, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, St. Clement Danes, and St. John Baptist Savoy. The registers of burials, marriages, and christenings, of St. Margaret's Church, began January 1, 1538. The Fire of London did not destroy any church in Westminster. MACKENZIE WALCOTT, M.A. _Hevristic_ (Vol. vii., p. 237.).--The term _hevristisch_, in the first edition of the translation of Kant's _Critik_, is not given in the vocabulary appended to the translation; but under the word _ostensiv_ it is stated that in its meaning it stands opposed to the word _euristic_ (_hevristisch_ in German). But in the second edition, published in 1818, it is remarked, under the words _evristic_, _euristic_, _hevristisch_, that the term should, in Sir Wm. Hamilton's opinion, be _euretic_ or _heuretic_; the word _hevristisch_ being an error of long standing in German philosophy. The derivation of _euretic_ would be from [Greek: heuretikos]. In Tissot's translation, _hevristisch_ is rendered by _heuristique_; in Mantovani's, by _evristico_; in Born's, by _heuristicus_. In Krug's _Lexicon_, _hevristik_ is given as derived from [Greek: heurisko, heurein]. The _hevristic_ method, Krug remarks, is also called the _analytical_. It may be added, that in the first edition of the _Critik_ (Riga, 1781), the word is _hevristisch_. In the fourth edition (Riga, 1794), published also in Kant's lifetime, it is _hevristisch_. In Rosenkranz's edition (Leipzig, 1838), the word is changed into _heuristisch_; and also, in another edition of the same year, published also at Leipzig, it is written _heuristisch_, and not _hevristisch_. In respect to the Leipzig edition of 1818, which is that now before me, the term _hevristisch_, in speaking of _hevristich_ principles, is particularly alluded to. (See page 512. line 10.) I do not find, after a hasty inspection, this word changed, in any of the editions I possess, to _empirisch_. FRANCIS HAYWOOD. Liverpool. _Creole_ (Vol. vii., p. 381.).--The word appears to be a French form of the Spanish _criollo_, which in the dictionary of Nunez de Taboada is defined, "El hijo de padres Europeos nacido en America;" whilst in the old dictionary of Stevens (1726) it is translated, "Son of a Spaniard and a West India woman." In Brande's _Dictionary of Science_, &c. Creole is said to mean the descendants of whites born in Mexico, South America, or the West Indies, the blood remaining unmixed with that of other races, &c. Von Tschudi says, that in South America the Spaniards apply the term _Creole_ not only to the human race, but also to horses, bullocks, and even to poultry. A. C. M. Exeter.
