_Discursus Modestus_ (Vol. i., pp. 142, 205.)--Crakanthorp, in his _Defens. Eccl. Angl._, cap. vi. p. 27. (A.C.L. edition), refers to _Discur. Compen. de Jesuit. Angl._, p. 15., and quotes from it the words, "Omnia pro tempore, nihil pro veritate." Is this _Discur. Compen._ the _Discurs. Modest._? and are these words to be found in Watson's _Quodlibets_? This would fix the identity of the two books. It is curious that the only two references made by Bishop Andrews to the _Discurs. Modest._ (_Respons. ad Apol._, pp. 7. and 117.) are to page 13., and both the statements are found in page 81. of Watson. Crakanthorp, however (p. 532.), quotes both the works,--_Discurs. Modestus de Jesuit. Anglic._, and Watson. From the many different Latin titles given to this book, it seems certain that it was originally written in English, and that the title was Latinized according to each person's fancy. There is no copy in the Lambeth library. J.B. _Melancthon's Epigram._--Melancthon, in the epigram translated by RUFUS (Vol. i., p. 422.), seems to have borrowed the idea, or, to use the more expressive term of your "Schoolboy", to leave cabbaged from Martial's epigram, terminating thus:-- "Non possunt nostros multæ Faustine lituræ, Emendare jocos: una litura potest." _Martial_, Book iv. 10. NABOC. * * * * * MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, &C. Mr. Bohn has just published the second volume of his very useful and complete edition of _Junius' Letters_. It contains, in addition to a new essay on their authorship, entitled _The History and Discovery of Junius_, by the editor, Mr. Wade, the Private Letters of Junius addressed to Woodfall; the Letters of Junius to Wilkes; and the Miscellaneous Letters which have been attributed to the same powerful pen. Mr. Wade is satisfied that Sir Philip Francis was Junius; a theory of which it is said, "Se non e vero e ben trovato:" and, if he does not go the length of Sir F. Dwarris in regarding Sir P. Francis, not as the solitary champion, but the most active of the sturdy band of politicians whose views he advocated, he shows that he was known to and assisted by many influential members of his own political party. Some of the most curious points in the Junius history are illustrated by notes by Mr. Bohn himself, who, we have no doubt will find his edition of Junius among the most successful volumes of his Standard Library.
