L. H. _Charles Lamb's Epitaph_ (Vol. iii., p. 322.).--I can explain to MARIA S. how this epitaph came to be attributed to Wordsworth. The late laureate did write some lines on the occasion of Lamb's death, beginning-- "To a good man of most dear memory, This stone is sacred." They were composed, the author says, "With an earnest wish, Though but a doubting hope, that they might serve Fitly to guard the precious dust of him, Whose virtues called them forth. _That aim is missed._" Vol. v. p. 141. ed. 1850. C. P. Ph***. _Quebeça and his Epitaph_ (Vol. iii., p. 223.).--This epitaph is said, upon the authority of _Segrais_, to be upon the king of Spain's preceptor, and to be seen at _Saragossa_. The version of it in my possession differs from that supplied by your correspondent, and is as follows: "Here lies John Cabeça, preceptor of my lord the king. When he is admitted to the choir of angels, whose society he will embellish by his powers of song, God shall say to the angels, 'Cease, ye calves! and let me hear John Cabeça, the preceptor of my lord the king.'" J. B. COLMAN. Eye, March 24. 1851. _The Frozen Horn_ (Vol. iii., p. 282.).--The story of the frozen and thawed words in Rabelais' _Pantagruel_, book iv. c. 55. and 56., is borrowed from a passage in Plutarch's _Morals_, vol. vi. p. 293., Leipsic, Reiske's edition. I beg to subjoin the Latin translation of this fable of so remote a date: "Joco enim Antiphanes dixit, in urbe quadam voces illico frigore loci congelare, ac per æstatem, gelu soluto, demum exaudiri, quæ dicta erant hyeme; ita ille quæ adolescentes e Platone audivissent, aiebat, plerosque vix tandem ingravescente ætate intelligere." C. I. R. _West Chester_ (Vol. iii., p. 353.).--JOHN FRANCIS X. asks "why so designated?" Camden will answer him. That antiquary gives the Roman, British, and Saxon names, and adds: "Nos contractius _West Chester_ ab occidentali situ."--_Britannia_, edit. 1607, p. 458. But X. adds: "In _Maps of Cheshire_ 1670, and perhaps later, the city is thus called." The writer has the maps and plans of Braun, Hollar, Saxton, Speed, and Blome, before him, but these have "Chester" simply; and does not at present recollect any county map with the prefix mentioned. Perhaps X. will oblige by a reference. LANCASTRIENSIS.
