[Woodfall's interview with Dr. Dodd at the Old Bailey, is given in Cooke's _Memoirs of Samuel Foote_, vol. i. p. 195., and is quoted in Baker's _Biographia Dramatica_, vol. iii. p. 278., edit. 1812. It appears that Dodd's comedy was commenced in his earlier days, and finished during his confinement in Newgate; but was neither acted nor printed. In a pamphlet, entitled _Historical Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the late Rev. William Dodd_, published anonymously in 1777, but attributed to Mr. Reed, it is stated at p. 4., that "_Sir Roger de Coverley_ is now in the hands of Mr. Harris of Covent Garden Theatre."] _Trosachs._--Can I learn through "N. & Q." the derivation and meaning of the name _Trosachs_, as {246} applied to the mountain pass bordering on Loch Katrine? J. G. T. Trosachs Hotel. [The name Trosachs signifies in Gaelic the _rough_ or _bristled territory_; a signification perfectly applicable to the confused mass of abrupt crags which, in some convulsion of nature, has been separated from the neighbouring mountains of Ben Vennu and Ben An. This glen was first rendered an object of popular attention by Sir Walter Scott, in his poem of _The Lady of the Lake_.] _Quarter._--Whence comes the use of the word _Quarter_, as applied to sparing of life in battle? J. G. T. Trosachs Hotel. [A correspondent of the _Gent. Mag._, vol. lxvi. p. 920., suggests, that it may be traced to the reverence for the sacred symbol of our faith, which the early Christian warriors wore depicted on their military habiliments. Orlando, who bore this emblem on his shield, was called 'Il Cavaliere del Quartiero;' though it is something singular that he won the device from Almonte, a _Saracen_ chief.] * * * * * Replies. JACOB BÖHME, OR BEHMEN. (Vol. viii., p. 13.) Some farther particulars respecting the writings of that remarkable character, who, according to your correspondent, "led astray William Law, and through him tinctured the religious philosophy of Coleridge, and from whom Schelling stole the corner-stones of his _Philosophy of Nature_," may perhaps interest the readers of "N. & Q." Who Böhme, or Behmen, was, may be seen by a reference to Francis Okely's _Memoir_ of him, and to the article in the _Penny Cyclopædia_ (vol. v. p. 61.) written by Dr. Bialloblotzky; which, with the exception of a few trifling errors, is carefully compiled. The true character of his philosophy has been ably and fully described in the later writings of William Law, especially in his _Animadversions on Dr. Trapp_ (at the end of _An Appeal to all that Doubt or Disbelieve the Truths of Revelation_); in _The Way to Divine Knowledge_; _The Spirit of Love_; his _Letters_; and in the fragment of a _Dialogue_, prefixed to the first of the four volumes in 4to. of Behmen's _Works_.
