The short preface, by a nameless hand, which precedes this division of the _Golden Grove_, would lead one to suppose that "A Guide for the Penitent" was a posthumous work of Jeremy Taylor; but this is not exactly stated. The prayers, however, have the same spirit and grandeur of piety which characterise those which are the acknowledged compositions of Bishop Taylor. Monmouth was beheaded eighteen years after Taylor died. It would be interesting to identify the author of "A Guide for the Penitent" (should there be any doubt on the subject): also, to ascertain how far Monmouth _quoted_, in his "prayers," from Taylor or any other divine. MARGARET GATTY. Ecclesfield. _Buxtorf's Translation of Elias Levita's "Tov Taam._"--Your correspondent T. T., in reply to my Query respecting this work, says (Vol. iv., p. 328.) that it "was printed in Venice, 1538, in 4to." This is impossible: for the elder Buxtorf was born in 1564; and it would be singular if he had translated R. Elias' work, and printed it at Venice, twenty-six years before he was born. T. T. seems not to have observed that my inquiry related to Buxtorf's _translation_, not to the original work of Elias Levita, which, although now rare, is sufficiently well known to Rabbinical scholars. I must therefore renew my inquiry (Vol. iv., p. 272.): has Buxtorf's _translation_ ever been printed, or does it now exist in MS.? JAMES H. TODD. Trin. Coll. Dub. _Burke's "Mighty Boar of the Forest"_ (Vol. iii., p. 493.).--Idomeneus awaiting the attack of Æneas could hardly be compared with Junius attacking every body in his way. Burke more probably borrowed his boar from even a greater poet than Homer. See Psalm lxxx. verses 8 to 13 (Common Prayer Version), and the context before and following, which contains perhaps the most picturesque and beautiful, as well as practical, allegory in the compass even of sacred literature. "The wild boar out of the wood doth root it up, and the wild beasts of the field devour it." J.M.G. Hallamshire. "_Son of the Morning_" (Vol. iv., pp. 209. 330.).--I have always understood Byron's apostrophe "Son of the morning, rise! approach you here!" to be merely an appeal to one of the _Orientals_ who then ruled in that region. And this appears to me to be confirmed by the suggestion which follows that the creed of Mahomet shall pass away as that of Jove has done. The words "Come--but molest not yon defenceless urn," did not appear to me to have any reference to the iconoclastic propensities of the person addressed. But this notice of your correspondent is ingenious. W.W. Cambridge. "_Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love_" (Vol. iv., p. 72.).--This quotation, the author of which was inquired for,-- "When first I attempted your pity to move," &c. is from a comedy in three acts called the _Panel_, altered from Bickerstaff's comedy _'Tis well it's no worse_. M.W.B. Burges, Sept. 26. 1851.
