_Wearing Gloves in Presence of Royalty_ (Vol. i., p. 366.; Vol. ii., pp. 165. 467.).--Hull, in his _History of the Glove Trade_, says that Charles IV., King of Spain, was so much under the influence of any lady who wore white kid gloves, that the use of them at Court was strictly prohibited. He refers the reader to the _Mémoires de la Duchesse d'Abrantès_, tome viii. p. 35. PHILIP S. KING. _Errors of Poets._--In Vol. iv., p. 150., amongst the "Errors of Painters" a picture is noticed, in which "the five wise and five foolish virgins have increased into two sevens." A similar mistake is made by Longfellow in his last poem, _The Golden Legend_, p. 219., where one of the characters says: "Here we stand as the Virgins Seven, For our celestial bridegroom yearning; Our hearts are lamps for ever burning, With a steady and unwavering flame, Pointing upward for ever the same, Steadily upward toward the Heaven." H. C. DE ST. CROIX. Queries. THE POET COLLINS. The deeply interesting additions lately made in your pages to our knowledge of General Wolfe, induces me to hope, if not quite to expect, that something, however small, may be done in the same joint-stock manner for the memory of the poet Collins. Sir Egerton Brydges asserts that "new facts regarding Collins are not to be had," and I am deeply sensible of the value of Mr. Dyce's labours, as well as of those of the editor of Mr. Pickering's Aldine edition of his works. No pains, trouble, or expense, have been spared in collecting and arranging the "dulces exuviæ" of the highly gifted poet; and the memoir prefixed to Pickering's edition reflects no small credit upon the good taste and feeling of the editor.
