Am I to understand from this sentence that this word was an original
adaptation of Coleridge's? If not, when was it first introduced, and by
whom?
In the same treatise, Coleridge employs the word _psychological_, and
apologises for using an _insolens verbum_. Was this the first occasion of
the familiar use of this word? I find _psychology_ in Bailey.

_Atonement._--Can you or any of your readers inform me when the word
"atonement" first came into use, and when it was first applied to the work
of reconciliation wrought by our Lord Jesus Christ? It is used once only in
the New Testament (Romans v. 11.), and there the word does not quite convey
the meaning of the original [Greek: katallagê]. The etymology of it seems
so purely English, that one would hardly expect to find the present use, or
rather adaptation, of the word, so very modern as it appears to be.

_Sir Stephen Fox._--Chambers' _Journal_, No. 515., Nov. 12, 1853, p. 320.,
says:
"Charles James Fox, who died in 1806, at the age of fifty-seven, had an
uncle who was paymaster of the forces in 1679, the year of the battle
of Bothwell Bridge, and his grandfather was on the scaffold with
Charles I."
After consulting several books on the subject, I find that this latter
statement is just possible; but I cannot learn under what circumstances Sir
Stephen Fox accompanied Charles I. to the scaffold. Can any of your readers
give me the desired information?
N. J. A.
_"Account of an Expedition to the Interior of New Holland."_--Can any one
tell me the name of the writer of a book with the title I have here given?
It was edited by Lady Mary Fox, and published, in one vol. 8vo., by
Bentley, in the year 1837. I may be mistaken, but I think I can recognise
the style of a well-known writer.

_Darwin on Steam._--Where are the prophetic lines by Dr. Darwin to be
found, commencing:
"Soon shall thy power, unrivalled _steam_, from far
Drag the slow barge, and urge the rapid car."
