_Ventriloquism_ (Vol. ii., p. 88.).--Mr. SANSOM will find some curious information touching the words [Hebrew: 'or], [Greek: eggastrimuthos], &c., in Dr. Maitland's recent _Illustrations and Enquiries relating to Mesmerism_, pp. 55. 81. The Lexicons of Drs. Lee and Gesenius may also be consulted, under the word [Hebrew: 'or]. The former of these lexicographers would rank the Pythian priestess with "our modern conjurers." C.H. St. Catharine's Hall, Cambridge. _Cromwell's Estates--Magor_ (Vol. i., p. 277. 389.).--As the South Wales line is now open as far as Chepstow, it may not be uninteresting to V. to know, that it diverges from the coast between Chepstow and Newport, in order to pass Bishopston and _Magor_, the last of which he rightly placed in Monmouthshire. SELEUCUS. _Vincent Gookin_ (Vol. i., pp. 385. 473. 492.; Vol. ii. p. 44.) is described in a _Narrative of the late Parliament_ (Cromwell's Parliament, d. 1656), in the _Harleian Miscellany_, as "One of the letters of land in Ireland, receiving three hundred pounds per annum." He and three other Irish members, Colonel Jephson, Ralph King, and Bice, are classed together in this tract, which is hostile to Cromwell, as "Persons not thought meet to be in command, though they much desire it, and are of such poor principles and so unfit to make rulers of as they would not have been set with the dogs of the flock, if the army and others who once pretended to be honest had kept close to their former good and honest principles." Vincent Gookin voted for the clause in the "Petition and Advice" giving the title of "King" to Cromwell. CH. _All-to brake_ (Vol. i., p. 395.).--The interpretation given is incorrect. "All-to" is very commonly used by early writers for "altogether:" e.g., "all-to behacked," Calfhill's _Answer to Martiall's Treatise of the Cross_, Parker Society's edition, p. 3.; "all-to becrossed," _ibid._ p. 91.; "all-to bebatted," _ibid._ p. 133., &c. &c. The Parker Society reprints will supply innumerable examples of the use of the expression. * * * * * MISCELLANEOUS. NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.
