"_Liber Mirabilis._"--Can any of your readers inform me if there be a copy of the _Liber Mirabilis_ in any library in the United Kingdom? It contains a remarkable prediction of St. Cæsario, Bishop of Arles, in the year 542. The work is printed in Gothic characters, and there is a copy in the Royal Library, Paris. CLERICUS. Dublin. [A copy is in the library of the British Museum, consisting of two parts. Part I. is in Latin, and Part II. in French, 4to., 1523.] _Saint Richard, King of England._--In the Romish Calendar we find, on the 7th February, amongst other saints, "Saint Richard, King of England." Which of our Richards does this refer to? I have never read in history of any of them having been canonized, nor should I have thought any of them at all a likely candidate for that honour; but if such was really the case, I presume that Coeur de Lion must be the man, and that his valour in the Crusades was suffered to outweigh his many other unsaintly qualities. J. S. WARDEN. Balica. [St. Richard was an English prince, in the kingdom of the West Saxons, which it is probable he renounced that he might dedicate himself to the pursuit of Christian perfection. About the year 722, on his way to Rome, he died suddenly at Lucca in Italy. See Butler's _Lives of the Saints_, Feb. 7.] _Saint Irene or St. Erini._--Can any of your correspondents direct me to where information may be found regarding the Saint Irene or St. Erini, from whom the Grecian island of Santorin takes its name? Σ. Bristol Dec. 1. 1851. [Irene, Empress of Constantinople, A.D. 797-802, was one of the most extraordinary women in Byzantine history. The Greeks have placed her among their saints, and celebrate her memory on the 15th of August. Consult Smith's _Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology_, and Gibbon's _Decline and Fall_, chap. xlviii.] Replies. COCKNEY. (Vol. iv., pp. 273. 318.) The following passages collected from various sources, will perhaps help to illustrate the origin and the several meanings of this word _Cockney_:-- Fuller's first sense is-- "One coaks'd or cockered, made a wanton or nestle-cock of, delicately bred and brought up, so that when grown men or women they can endure no hardship, nor comport with pains taking." "'Tis not their fault, but our mothers', our cockering mothers, who for their labour make us to be called _Cockneys_."--Dekker, _A Knight's Conjuring_, 1607. "And when this jape is told another day I shall be halden a daffe or a _Cokenay_." Chaucer, _The Reve's Tale_. The following extracts will show that to this first sense Fuller might have added, _one abundantly and daintily fed:_--
