I know not the author; but I suspect either that the title of an Oxford man was assumed by a Cantab, who might fairly wish not to be suspected as the author of several of the poems; or that the author, having been rusticated at Cambridge, vide at p. 84. the ode "Ad Thomam G." (whom I take to be Thomas Gilbert of Peterhouse), transferred himself and his somewhat licentious muse to Oxford. COLL. ROYAL SOC. _Jeremy Taylor's Works_ (Vol. ii., p. 271.).--It seems desirable that an advance should occasionally be made in _editing_, beyond the mere verification of authorities, in seeing, that is, whether the passages cited are _applicable_ to the point in hand, and properly apprehended. Bp. Taylor, in his _Liberty of Prophecying_, sect. vi., for instance, seems incorrect in stating that Leo I., bishop of Rome, _rejected_ the Council of Chalcedon; whereas his reproofs are directed against Anatolias, bishop of Constantinople, an unwelcome aspirant to ecclesiastical supremacy. (See _Concilia Studio Labbei_, tom. iv., col. 844, &c.) A passage frown Jerome's _Epistle to Evangelus_ is often quoted in works on church government, as equalising, or nearly so, the office of bishop and presbyter; but the drift of the argument seems to be, to show that the _site_ of a bishop's see, be it great or small, important or otherwise, does not affect the episcopal _office_. Some readers will perhaps offer an opinion on these two questions. NOVUS. _Ductor Dubitantium_.--The Judge alluded to by Jeremy Taylor in the passage quoted by A.T. (Vol. ii., p. 325.), was Chief-Justice Richardson; but the place where the outrage was committed was not Ludlow, as stated by the eloquent divine, but Salisbury, as appears from the following marginal note in Dyer's _Reports_, p. 1886--a curious specimen of the legal phraseology of the period:-- "Richardson, C.J. de C.B. at Assizes at Salisbury in Summer 1631 fuit assault per Prisoner la condemne pur Felony; que puis son condemnation ject un Brickbat a le dit Justice, que narrowly mist. Et pur ceo immediately fuit Indictment drawn pur Noy envers le Prisoner, et son dexter manus ampute et fixe al Gibbet, sur que luy mesme immediatement hange in presence de Court." EDWARD FOSS. _Aërostation_ (Vol. ii., p. 317.).--The account published by Lunardi of his aërial voyage, alluded to by M., is, in the copy I have seen, entitled "An Account of the First Aërial Voyage in Britain, in a series of letters to his guardian, the Chevalier Gherardo Compagni, written under the impressions of the various events that affected the undertaking, by Vicent Lunardi, Esq., Secretary to the Neapolitan Ambassador. 'A non esse nec fuisse non datur argumentum ad non posse.' Second edition, London: printed for the Author, and sold at the Panther; also by the Publisher J. Bell, at the British Library, Strand, and at Mr. Molini's, Woodstock Street, MDCCLXXXIV."
