Jollois et Desvilliers._ Ib.—“_Those cool alcoves._”—_Paul Lucas._ Page 219.—“_Whose waters are half sweet, half bitter._”—_Paul Lucas._ Page 224.—“_The Mountain of the Birds._”—There has been much controversy among the Arabian writers, with respect to the site of this mountain, for which see _Quatremere_, tom. 1. art. _Amoun_. Page 230.—“_The hand of labour had succeeded_,” _&c._—The monks of Mount Sinai (_Shaw_ says) have covered over near four acres of the naked rocks with fruitful gardens and orchards. Page 233.—“_The image of a head._”—There was usually, Tertullian tells us, the image of Christ on the communion‐cups. Ib.—“_Kissed her forehead._”—“We are rather disposed to infer,” says the present Bishop of Lincoln, in his very sensible work on Tertullian, “that, at the conclusion of all their meetings for the purpose of devotion, the early Christians were accustomed to give the kiss of peace, in token of the brotherly love subsisting between them.” Page 237.—“_In the middle of the seven valleys._”—See Macrizy’s account of these valleys, given by Quatremere, tom. 1. p. 450. Ib.—“_Red lakes of Nitria._”—For a striking description of this region, see “_Rameses_,”—a work which, though, in general, too technical and elaborate, shows, in many passages, to what picturesque effects the scenery and mythology of Egypt may be made subservient. Page 238.—“_In the neighbourhood of Antinoë._”—From the position assigned to Antinoë in this work, we should conclude that it extended much farther to the north, than these few ruins of it that remain would seem to indicate; so as to render the distance between the city and the Mountain of the Birds considerably less than what it appears to be at present.

Page 235.—“_Come thus secretly before day‐break._”—It was among the accusations of Celsus against the Christians, that they held their assemblies privately and contrary to law; and one of the speakers in the curious work of Minucius Felix calls the Christians “latebrosa et lucifugax natio.” Page 256.—“_A swallow_,” _&c._—“Je vis dans le desert des hirondelles d’un gris clair comme le sable sur lequel elles volent.”—_Denon._
