The tracing, the accuracy of which may be relied upon, I shall be very happy to lend to A. E. C., if it will be of any service to him. Fuller's autograph has not yet been discovered in the library, but, I have reason to believe, will be found in the President's lodge. W. SPARROW SIMPSON, B.A. 14. Grove Road, North Brixton, Surrey. _Lines on the Bible_ (Vol. iv., p. 473. Vol. v., p. 66.).--It has been already shown that these lines are _not_ Byron's, but are to be found in the 12th chapter of Sir W. Scott's _Monastery_. I write now for the purpose of noting, that in a similar collection, almost exclusively of the Evangelical school, called _Sacred Poetry_, and published by Oliphant of (I think) Edinburgh, Byron's lines from _The Giaour_, beginning-- "Yes! Love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire, With angels shared, by _Allah_ given, To lift from Earth each low desire," &c.-- are printed with the "Allah" of the third line simply changed into "Jesus!" And so a passage, applicable solely to the earthly Eros, is made to do duty as descriptive of another love of which the noble poet had, I fear, remarkably little notion. The editors have had the grace not to append Byron's name as the author. How far is this mode of "improving" a passage honest? HARRY LEROY TEMPLE. _Hell-rake_ (Vol. iv., pp. 192. 260.).--I cannot dispossess my mind of the impression that, like the theological word _hell_, so the agricultural term _hell-rake_ is derived front the well-known Saxon word signifying to _cover_. Every Devonshire vestryman or mason well enough knows what is meant by the "helling," or "heleing," or "heeling," of a church, viz. the covering of the roof; and every farmer or labourer in the west will tell you, that the _second-helling_ of potatoes is the covering them with earth a second time. Query: Was not the _hell-rake_ originally an implement used in husbandry for the purposes of _covering_ the broad-cast seed, and for other kindred purposes? J. SANSOM. _Family Likenesses_ (Vol. v., p. 7.).--The remarkable preservation of a family likeness is the subject of one of your "Minor Notes." It has been often observed, I believe, that in the continuation of such resemblance, a generation is not unfrequently passed over, and the son is not like the father, but the grandfather. The Note recalled to my mind some powerful lines in a poem, printed more than forty years ago, for private circulation only, which I transcribe, thinking that perhaps you may consider them not unsuited to your pages. To establish the relationship of one who claims kindred with another, several proofs are offered, viz. a bracelet, a ring, a letter: but the satisfactory evidence is afforded by the family resemblance:--
