As to the regular order in crossing himself, that will entirely depend upon whether the plaister was considered to be a knight's shield, and the figures the blazonry, or not. Is it not, indeed, stated in one of your former numbers, that this very inscription was to be read 1408, and not 1048? I have already hinted at the necessity of _caution_ in such cases; and Mr. Wilkinson of Burnley has given, in a recent number of your work, two exemplifications. The Bishop of Rochester certainly adds another; though, of course, undesignedly. T. S. D. Shooter's Hill, June 7. _Comment. in Apocalypsin_ (Vol. i., p. 452.).--There was a copy of this volume in the library of the Duke of Brunswick; and in the hope that Sir F. Madden may succeed in obtaining extracts, or a sight of it, I intimate just as much, though not in this kingdom. (See Von der Hardt's _Autographa Lutheri et Coaetaneorum_, tom. iii. 171.) You do not seem to have any copy whatever brought to your notice. This collection was, it appears from the _Centifolium Lutheranum_ of Fabricius (p. 484.), bequeathed by the Duke to the library at Helmstad. NOVUS. _Robert Deverell_ (Vol. i., p. 469.).--If my information is too scanty to deserve a place among the Replies, you may treat it as a supplement to Dr. Rimbault's Query. Mr. Deverell also published (according to Lowndes) _A New View of the Classics and Ancient Arts, tending to show the invariable Connexion with the Sciences_, 4to. Lond. 1806; and _Discoveries in Hieroglyphics and other Antiquities_, 6 vols. 8vo. Lond. 1813,--which was suppressed by the author after a few copies had been sold. I have the second and third volumes, being all that relates to Shakspeare. They consist of an edition of Hamlet, Lear, Othello, Merchant of Venice, and the third satire of Horace, copiously illustrated with notes and woodcuts, intended to prove that in the works in question, in common with "all the classics and the different specimens of the arts which have come down to us from the ancients, no part of them is to be understood without supposing that they were mere vehicles of knowledge, not intended to meet the eye or the understanding on the first inspection or perusal;" in short, that all the phrases, characters, and incidents are merely allusions to the appearances of the moon! a representation of which, and of Shakspearian characters, &c., bearing supposed resemblance to its lights and shadows, form the staple of the illustrations. I collect from passages in these volumes, that the first was devoted to a similar illustration of Hudibras. The whole affair seems to afford indications of insanity. In the _Biographical Dictionary of Living Authors_, 8vo., Lond. 1816, I find that in 1802 he was returned to Parliament by the borough of Saltash, in Cornwall: and from the same authority it also appears that, in addition to the works above noticed, he was the author of _A Guide to the Knowledge of the Ancients_, 1803, and _A letter to Mr.
