_Luther and Ignatius Loyola._--A parallel or counterpoising view of these two characters has been quoted in several publications, some of recent date; but in all it is attributed to a wrong source. Mr. M^cGavin, in his _Protestant_, Letter CXL., (p. 582, ed. 1846); Mr. Overbury, in his _Jesuits_ (Lond. 1846), p. 8., and, of course, the authority from which he borrows, Poynder's _History of the Jesuits_; and Dr. Dowling's _Romanism_, p. 473. {138} (ed. New York, 1849)--all these give, as the authority for the contrasted characters quoted, Damian's _Synopsis Societatis Jesu_. Nothing of the kind appears _there_; but in the _Imago primi Saeculi Soc. Jesu_, 1640, it will be found, p. 19. The misleader of these writers seems to have been Villers, in his _Prize Essay on the Reformation_, or his annotator, Mills, p. 374. NOVUS. P.S. (Vol. ii., p. 375.).--The lines quoted by Dr. Pusey, I have some notion, belong to a Romish, not a Socinian, writer. _Winkel._--I thought, some time since, that the places bearing this name in England, were taken from the like German word, signifying _a corner_. I find, on examination, that there is a village in Rhenish Prussia named "Winkel." It seems that Charlemagne had a wine-cellar there; so that that word is no doubt taken from the German words _wein_ and _keller_, from the Latin _vinum_ and _cella_. AREDJID KOOEZ. _Foreign Renderings._--In addition to those given, I will add the following, which I once came across at Salzburg: "George Nelboeck recommande l'hotel aux _Trois Allies_, vis-a-vis de la maison paternelle du celebre Mozart, lequel est nouvellement fourni et offre tous les comforts a Mrs. les voyageurs." Translated as follows: "George Nelboeck begs leave to _recommand_ his hotel to the Three Allied, situated _vis-a-vis_ of the birth house of Mozart, which offers all comforts to the _meanest_ charges." Also the following: "M. Reutlinger (of Frankfort on Main) _takes_ leave to _recommande_ his well furnished magazine of all kind of travelling-luggage and _sadle_-works." AREDJID KOOEZ. _Samuel Johnson--Gilbert Wakefield._--Whoever has had much to do with the press will sympathise with MR. CHARLES KNIGHT in all that he has stated ("NOTES AND QUERIES," Vol. iii., p. 62.) respecting the accidental--but not at first discovered--substitution of _modern_ for _moderate_. If that word _modern_ had not been detected till it was too late for an explanation on authority, what strange conjectures would have been the consequence! Happily, MR. KNIGHT was at hand to remove that stumbling-block. I rather fancy that I can rescue Samuel Johnson from the fangs of Gilbert Wakefield, by the supposition of an error of the press. In 1786, Wakefield published an edition of Gray's _Poems_, with notes; and in the last note on Gray's "Ode on the Death of a Cat," he thus animadverts on Dr. Johnson:--
