(297,_b_), in original this is given to _Wit_--"with kindness my _heart_ do kill" (299,_b_), _herye_ in original--"magt _not_ do thereto" (300,_a_), _aot_ in original--"I understand thee well" (300,_d_), _Ic_ in original: the author has forgotten himself in this instance--"_Wit._ _I will go to fetch them_" (304,_d_), in original _I Iyf go to fetch tham_--"should _lean_ to man's life" (305,_a_), in original _leaue_-- WHERE, "_where_ he go" (JE354,_d_), whether. WHISTER, "_whister_ him in the ear" (N77,_d_), whisper. WHITE WINE (JE361,_a_), an allusion, I suppose, to the rotten eggs shied at a victim in the pillory. WIDGE, "chad a _widge_" (R229,_a_), horse. In a recent number of _Notes and Queries_ appeared the following, which seems worth quoting, as exemplifying the survival in Tudor-English dialect of an A.S. word that itself had only a limited vogue. "In South-Western dialect, _widge_, a horse (mare) ... from M.E. _wig_, A.S. _wicg_. The ... word is only found in poetry, and with moderate frequency; while in other Teutonic languages _wigg_, horse, occurs solely, to my knowledge, in O. Sax., _The Heliand_, and there but once. Stratmann's _Mid. Eng._ _Dictionary_ (ed. H. Bradley) gives a solitary example of _wig_, horse, in _Early English Homilies_ (ed. R. Morris), rendering the more notable its survival to the above date. The word is not in Halliwell's _Dictionary_." (H. P. L.) WIT AND SCIENCE, BY JOHN REDFORD. The text, collated anew in proof with the original manuscript in the British Museum (Add. MSS. 15,233), will be found on pages 135-175, together with a reduced facsimile of the penultimate page of the manuscript (p. 136), and the concluding lines of the same with Redford's signature (p. 175). This last facsimile has been included because nowhere in the Museum Catalogue does Redford's name occur; the play has never been catalogued as his though his name appears both in the MS. and in the Shak. Soc. reprint (Ac. 9485.33). A good deal of confusion and uncertainty has existed concerning the identity of this and two other Wit plays, a question which I discuss in _Anon. Plays_ (E.E.D.S.), _Series IV._, now in the press. I refer the reader to this volume, which will reach subscribers in due course. Besides the Shakespeare Society's reprint, Prof. Manly has included _Wit and Science_ in his _Specimens of the_ _Pre-Shakespearean Drama_. The MS. is in the shape of a memorandum book, the lines running across the short width of the page. There has been no cutting of the margins. It was purchased at the sale of the Bright MSS. in 1844, and the binding is without doubt contemporary with the MS., though it has apparently been patched here and there. _Corrigenda, Amended Readings, etc._: "The better hold out _he_ may" (138,_b_),
