"The Second Booke of Amadis de Gaule, containing the description,
wonders, and conquest of the Firme-Island. The triumphes and
troubles of Amadis. His manifold victories obtained, and sundry
services done for King Lisuart. The kinges ingratitude, and first
occasion of those broils and mortal wars, that no small time
continued between him and Amadis. Englished by L. P. London:
Printed for C. Burbie, and are to be sold at his shop at the Royal
Exchange, 1595."
The Epistle Dedicatory to "Master Walter Borough" is signed "Lazarus
Pyott," which is perhaps an assumed name; and, if I mistake not, I have
seen it assigned to some known writer of the time. As I do not find this
work noticed by Lowndes, perhaps MR. COLLIER or some of your readers
would kindly give me some information respecting its rarity, &c.

45. _Hogarth and Cowper._--Which preceded the other, and who was the
greater artist, Hogarth or Cowper, in the portrait and description of
the stately and antiquated lady going to church on the winter's morning
with her boy, who--
"Carries her Bible, tuck'd beneath his arm,

46. _Latin Translation of Butler's Analogy._--In Bartlett's _Life of

Was this translation ever published or is anything now known of it?

47. "_Non quid responderent_," _&c._--In the Life of Bishop Jewel
prefixed to the edition of his works, 1611, §24., there occurs a
sentence attributed to _Cicero in Verrem 3._:
"Like Verres in Tully, _Non quid responderent, sed quemadmodum non
responderent laborabant_."
But are the words to be found in _Cicero_ at all? They give no bad
representation of what is called _fencing_, while unwillingly subjected
to an examination; and the true authorship would oblige
NOVUS.
48. "_The Worm in the Bud of Youth_," _&c._--With whom did the following
idea originate, and where are the words to be found?
"The worm is in the bud of youth, and in the root of age."
Can any similar expression be adduced from the ancient classics?

49. _Queen Brunéhaut._--I read in a French book of travels that the
abbey of Saint Martin's, at Autun, contained the tomb of Queen
Brunéhaut, upon which was engraved the following inscription:
