[As this Query of AMERICUS contains some new illustration of the history of this phrase, we have given it insertion, although the subject has already been discussed in our columns. The writer will, however, find that the earliest known instances of the use of the sayings are, by William of Malmesbury, who, speaking of Odo yielding his consent to be Archbishop of Canterbury, A.D. 920, says: "Recogitans illud Proverbium, _Vox Populi Vox Dei_;" and by Walter Reynolds, Archbishop of Canterbury, who, as we learn from Walsingham, took it as his text for the sermon which he preached when Edward III. was called to the throne, from which the people had pulled down Edward II. AMERICUS is farther referred to Mr. G. Cornewall Lewis' _Essay on the Influence of Authority in Matters of Opinion_ (pp. 172, 173., and the accompanying notes) for some interesting remarks upon it. See farther, "N. & Q.," Vol. i., pp. 370. 419. 492.; Vol. iii., pp. 288. 381.] _"Lanquettes Cronicles."_--Of what date is the earliest printed copy of these Chronicles? The oldest I am acquainted with is 1560, in quarto (continued up to 1540 by Bishop Cooper). Is this edition rare? R. C. WARDE. Kidderminster. [The earliest edition is that printed by T. Berthelet, 4to., 1549. The first two parts of this Chronicle, {495} and the beginning of the third, as far as the seventeenth year after Christ, were composed by Thomas Lanquet, a young man of twenty-four years of age. Owing to his early death, Bishop Cooper finished the work; and his part, which is the third, contains almost thrice as much as Lanquet's two parts, being taken from Achilles Pyrminius. When it was finished, a surreptitious edition appeared in 1559, under the title of Lanquet's _Chronicle_; hereupon the bishop protested against "the vnhonest dealynge" of this book, edited by Thomas Crowley, in the next edition, entitled Cooper's _Chronicle_, "printed in the house late Thomas Berthelettes," 1560. The running title to the first and second parts is, "Lanquet's Chronicle;" and to the third, "The Epitome of Chronicles." The other editions are, "London, 1554," 4to., and "London, 1565," 4to. We should think the edition of 1560 rare: it was in the collections of Mr. Heber and Mr. Herbert. In this work the following memorable passage occurs, under the year 1542:--"One named Johannes Faustius fyrste founde the crafte of printynge in the citee of Mens in Germanie."] _"Our English Milo."_--Bishop Hall extols in his _Heaven upon Earth_ the valour of a countryman in a Spanish bull-fight (see p. 335., collected ed. _Works_, 1622). Of whom does he speak? R. C. WARDE. Kidderminster.
