[The _Britannia Sancta_, 4to. 1745, contains the following notice of St. Richard compiled from the collections of the Bollandists:--"St. Richard, whose name occurs on Feb. 7 in the Roman Martyrology, is styled there, as well as in divers other monuments, _King of the English_, though in the catalogues of our Saxon kings there is no one found of that name; the reason of which is, because the catalogues of the kings, during the Heptarchy, are very imperfect, as might be proved, if it were necessary, by several instances of kings whose names are there omitted. As for St. Richard, it is that he was one of those princes who, as we learn from St. Bede, lib. iv. ch. 12., ruled the West Saxons after the year 673, till they were forced to give way to King Ceadwall; which is the more probable, because he flourished about that time, and was of the province of the West Saxons, as appears from his being a kinsman to St. Winifred, or Boniface, born and brought up in those parts (at Crediton in Devonshire), and from his son Willibald's being brought up in a monastery of the same province, and from his own setting out upon his pilgrimage from Hamble Haven, which belonged to the West Saxons." Some account of St. Richard and his tomb at Lucca will be found in the _Gentleman's Magazine_, vol. lxix., pt. i. p. 14.] "_Coming Events cast their Shadows before._"--Where does this couplet occur? "'Tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore, And coming events cast their shadows before." E. G. [This couplet is from Campbells "Lochiel's Warning."] _St. Christopher._--Fosbroke says, "the Greek Christians represented this saint with a dog's head, like Anubis, to show that he was of the country of the Cynocephale; and in confirmation of this assertion he quotes "_Winckelm. Stosch._ _cl._ i. _n._ 103." I have never heard either of this fact, or of the authority from which Fosbroke derived it. Can any of your readers give me any information about either? E. A. H. L. [The following is the passage quoted by Mr. Fosbroke, from Winckelmann's _Description des Pierres Graveés du feu Baron de Stosch_. 4to. Florence, 1760, p. 25.:-- "_Jaspe rouge._ Anubis en pied. Je vais rémarquer ici en passant que les Chretiens Grecs du moyen âge ont figuré S. Christrophle avec tête de Chien, comme Anubis, pour signifier que ce Saint étoit du pays des Cynocéphales.
