"Saepe audivi quod in _Anglia_ (quae regio sicut in multis aliis rebus, sic praecipue in religionibus totius mundi compendium est) de ejusmodi fanaticis perhibetur, quod ita sui suarumque irrationabilium opinionum sint amantes, ut audeant propter eas divinam Providentiam angustis Ecclesiarum suarum (quae ex angustis cujuslibet Penatibus constant) terminis circumscribere.... Et quemadmodum omnes isti miseri aperte delirant, praecipue ii quos zeli aestus eousque deducit, ut tanquam bacchantes aut cerriti per plateas, domos, templa, absque ullo ordine et respectu cursitantes concionentur, et interdum _anseres, equos, vel oves_ (cujus rei ibi satis frequentia exempla occurrunt) dum eis homines aures praebere nolunt, ad suas opiniones convertere tentent." R. PRICE. Cheam. _MSS. of Locke_ (Vol. i., pp. 401. 462.).--In reply to a question in "NOTES AND QUERIES," I may state, that the address of the son of the late Dr. Hancock, is George H., Park Grove, Birkenhead; and he will furnish information relative to the MSS. of Locke. AN INTENDED READER. _Sir William Grant_ (Vol. ii., p. 397.).--Your correspondent R. says that "_Sir William Grant_" was one of the few Scotchmen who had freed himself from the peculiarities of the speech of his country. Frank Horner is another." If R. means to include the _Scottish accent_, he is mistaken as to Sir William Grant, who retained a strong Scottish _burr_. If he means only correctness of diction, then I should say the number was not _few_. Mackintosh's and Jeffery's English was, I think, quite as pure as Horner's; and Lord Brougham, with much idiosyncrasy, had no _Scotch peculiarities_, at least--_me judice_--infinitely less than Sir William Grant. I could name twenty members of the present houses of parliament in whom I have never detected any "Scotch peculiarity." C. _Tristan d'Acunha_ (Vol. ii., p. 358.).--The island is noticed, but briefly, in p. 54. of the first volume of Perouse's _Voyage round the World_, Lond. 1799. It is there stated that a tolerably minute account of it is contained in _Le Neptune Oriental_, by D'Apres (or Apres de Manvilette). This work was published in Paris, 1775, in two volumes, large folio. C.I.R.
