D. Y. Christchurch, Oxford. _Oxford Friar's Voyage to the North Pole._--In a book I have, entitled _Prospects of the most famous Parts of the World_, date 1646, occurs the following: "Towards the north pole we have gained, more in proportion, as far as Nova Zembla, and the sea is known to be navigable to the 81st degree: whether the rest be land or not it never yet appeared to any (as I heare of) but an Oxford Friar by a Magique voyage. He reports of a Black Rock just under the pole, and an Isle of Pygmies; other strange miracles, to which, for my part, I shall give little credit till I have better proof for it than the Devil's word." Query, Who was the friar? and where is the account of his voyage to be found? J. Y. R. _Roman Catholic Church._--The Rev. J. M. Neale has just published an appendix to his _Introduction to the History of the Holy Eastern Church_, containing a list of all the sees in that communion, with the names of the present possessors. Can any of your correspondents inform me where I can meet with a similar notitia of the sees in the Roman Catholic Church? E. H. A. [The _Almanach du Clerge de France_ contains a catalogue of Roman Catholic bishops throughout the world, complied from documents furnished by the Congregation De Propaganda Fide of Rome.] _Cor Linguae._--May I ask who is the author of the following epigram, quoted by Coke on the trial of Garnet? "Cor linguae foederat naturae sanctio, Veluti in quodam certo connubio; Ergo cum dissonent cor et locutio, Sermo concipitur in adulterio." J. BS. {169} _Bishop Hooper's Godly Confession, &c._--Being engaged in editing Bishop Hooper's works, and finding myself impeded by want of the original edition of his _Godly Confession and Protestation of the Christian Faith_, printed at London by John Day, 1550, I am induced to seek your assistance, and to ask whether you can inform me where a copy of the above work may be found? (THE REV.) CHARLES NEVINSON. Browne's Hospital, Stamford. _Extradition, Ignore, Diamagnetism._--In pursuance of my note to you regarding the definition of words in science and literature which may have sprung up of late years, will you allow me to quote, as instances in the latter department, the two words "extradition" and "ignore?" 1. Is the following a correct definition of "extradition," viz., "the surrender by a state, of a political refugee, at the request of a foreign power?" 2. Is the etymology of the word made up of "extra" and "ditio" put for "deditio," a giving up or surrendering? Does "ignore" mean to "treat as non-existent;" and are there no other words in the language which express exactly the meaning conveyed by these two? In science, I would ask, is "diamagnetism" correctly explained by terming it "the property of any substance whereby it turns itself, when freely suspended, at right angles to the magnetic meridian."
