It appears, then, from these examples that Lord Wellesley is justified in his application of the word "littus" to the adjective "Thamesinus." Q. E. D. (A Borderer.) Minor Notes. _Epigrams by Coulanges and Prior._--Has the following coincidence been noticed between an epigram of M. de Coulanges and some verses by Mat. Prior? "_L'Origine de la Noblesse._ "D'Adam nous sommes tous enfants, La preuve en est connue, Et que tous nos premiers parents Ont mené la charrue. "Mais, las de cultiver enfin La terre labourée, L'une a dételé le matin, L'autre l'après-dinée."--(Published 1698.) "_The Old Gentry._ "That all from Adam first begun, None but ungodly Woolston doubts, And that his son, and his son's sons Were all but ploughmen, clowns and louts. "Each, when his rustic pains began, To merit pleaded equal right, 'Twas only who left off at noon, Or who went on to work till night." C. P. Ph***. _Brewhouse Antiquities._--In Forth and others _versus_ Stanton, Trinity Term, 20 Charles II., Timothy Alsopp and others sue for 100_l._ for cost of beer, sold by them to defendant's late husband. Can this Timothy Alsopp be a lineal predecessor of the present eminent firm of Samuel Alsopp and Sons? We are told that Child's is the oldest banking-house--which may be the oldest brewing establishment? J. H. S. _Joseph of Exeter de Bello Antiocheno._--Joseph of Exeter, or Iscanus, was the author of two poems: 1st, _De Bello Trojano_; 2dly, _De Bello Antiocheno_. The _first_ has been printed and published. The _second_ was only known by _fragments_ to Leland. See his work _De Scrip. Brit._ p. 239. Mr. Warton, in his _History of English Poetry_ (1774), affirms, that Mr. Wise, the Radcliffe librarian, had informed him that a MS. copy of the latter was in the library of the Duke of Chandos at _Canons_. Query, where is it? It was not at Stowe. It is not in Lord Ashburnham's collection, nor in the British Museum; nor in the Bodleian Library, nor in the archives of Sir Thomas Phillipps. For the honour of the nation, we earnestly hope that it may be discovered and committed to the press. EXONIENSIS.
