[5] This is the true reading according to the Hebrew, the Septuagint, and the authorized version. The Vulgate has, “Filius Phallu Eliab”. A similar example however, occurs, I. Paral., ii. 8. “And the sons of Ethan, Azariah”. Here the Vulgate agrees with the other versions. [6] _An Essay on the Principle of Population._ London, 1826. Vol. i., p. 517. [7] _Id. Ib._ “Throughout all the northern provinces the population was found to double itself in twenty-five years. The original number of persons which had settled in the four provinces of New England in 1643, was 21,200. Afterwards it was calculated that more left them than went to them. In the year 1760 they were increased to half a million. They had, therefore, all along doubled their number in twenty-five years. In New Jersey the period of doubling appeared to be twenty-two years, and in Rhode Island still less. In the back settlements, where the inhabitants applied themselves solely to agriculture, and luxury was not known, they were supposed to double their number in fifteen years”. He adds in a note: “Speaking of Rhode Island, Dr. Styles says that though the period of doubling for the whole colony is twenty-five years, yet that it is different in different parts, and within land is twenty and fifteen years”. p. 518.

Octobris, 1400”, and the See is described as vacant _per obitum Johannis Epi. extra curiam defuncti_. [11] Bremond, in _Bullario Ord. Praed._ iii. 64, mentions a “_Richardus Wichelei, Winchelsey_, vel _Wicherlsi_”, who was appointed to our see _anno circiter 1480_. The _Belgium Dominicanum_ fixes the precise date of his appointment as 1479, and we see no reason for excluding him from the list of the successors of St. Canice. He must, however, have resigned the same year, though, perhaps, the title may have been continued through courtesy, even in 1481, as mentioned by De Burgo, pag. 476. Some, however, have supposed that this bishop’s see was _Ossonensis_, to which we find Dominican bishops more than once appointed in the _Bullarium_ above referred to. [12] “Vocacyon” in _Harl.
