There are a series of articles on this subject in the _Gentleman's Magazine_, vol. lxxxviii., parts i. and ii., and vol. lxxxix. parts i. and ii. Taylor the Water-poet wrote _A Catalogue of Memorable Places and Taverns within Ten Shires of England_, London, 1636, 8vo. Much information will also be found in Akerman's _Tokens_, and Burn's _Catalogue of the Beaufoy Cabinet_. ZEUS. * * * * * "CONSILIUM DELECTORUM CARDINALIUM." (Vol. viii., p. 54. Vol. ix., pp. 127-29.) Novus did not require correction; but MR. B. B. WOODWARD has elaborately confounded the genuine _Consilium_ of 1537 with Vergerio's spurious Letter of Advice, written in 1549. _Four_ cardinals, and not _nine_ (as MR. WOODWARD supposes), subscribed the authentic document; but perhaps _novem_ may have been a corruption of _novum_, applied to the later Bolognese _Consilium_; or else the word was intended to denote the number of _all_ the dignitaries who addressed Pope Paul III. R. G. "This Consilium was the result of an assembly of four cardinals, among whom was our Pole, and five prelates, by Paul III. in 1537, charged to give him their best advice relative to a reformation of the church. The corruptions of that community were detailed and denounced with more freedom than might have been expected, or was probably desired; so much so, that when one of the body, Cardinal Caraffa, assumed the tiara as Paul IV., he transferred his own _advice_ into his own list of prohibited books. The Consilium became the subject of an animated controversy. McCrie in his _History of the Reformation in Italy_, has given a satisfactory account of the whole, pp. 83, &c. The candid Quirini could maintain neither the spuriousness of this important document, nor its non-identity with the one condemned in the Index. (See Schelborn's Two Epistles on the subject, Tiguri, 1748.) And now observe, gentle reader, the pontifical artifice which this discussion has produced. Not in the Index following the year 1748, namely, that of 1750 (that was too soon), but in the next, that of 1758, the article appears thus: 'Consilium de emendanda Ecclesia. _Cum Notis vel Præfationibus Hæreticorum. Ind. Trid._' The whole, particularly the Ind. Trid., is an implied and real falsehood."-- Mendham's _Literary Policy of the Church of Rome_, pp. 48, 49. M. Barbier, in his _Dictionnaire des Pseudoynmes_, has given his opinion of the genuineness of the Consilium in the following note, in reply to some queries on the subject: "Monsieur.--Le _Consilium quorundam Episcoporum_, &c., me paraît une pièce bien authentique, puisque Brown déclare l'avoir trouvé non-seulement dans les oeuvres de Vergerio, mais encore dans les _Lectiones Memorabiles_, en 2 vol. in fol. par Wolphius. _Je ne connais rien contre_ cette pièce. "J'ai l'honneur, &c. "BARBIER."
