It has been generally supposed that the burial of Sir John Moore, who fell at the battle of Corunna, in 1809, took place during the night, an error which doubtless arose from the statement to that effect in Wolf's celebrated lines. Rev. Mr. Symons, who was the clergyman on the occasion, states, however, in Notes and Queries, that the burial took place in the morning, in broad daylight. _Cleopatra a Myth._ Commentators of no mean standing insist that Cleopatra "Star-eyed Egyptian, Glorious sorceress of the Nile," is merely a creature of the imagination; in plain words, that the Cleopatra of history never existed, though there were two or three women who bore the name. _Abelard and Heloise._ Though they may have lived about the same time, the romance of their love is now gravely denied by scholars and antiquarians. _Odd Titles of Old Books._ In "Gleanings for the Curious" we find the following list of odd titles to books, most of which were published in the time of Cromwell:— A Shot aimed at the Devil's Head-Quarters through the Tube of the Cannon of the Covenant. Crumbs of Comfort for the Chickens of the Covenant. Eggs of Charity, layed by the Chickens of the Covenant, and boiled with the Water of Divine Love. Take Ye and eat. High-heeled Shoes for Dwarfs in Holiness. Hooks and Eyes for Believers' Breeches. Matches lighted by the Divine Fire.

The Christian Sodality; or, Catholic Hive of Bees, sucking the Honey of the Churches' Prayer from the Blossoms of the Word of God, blowne out of the Epistles and Gospels of the Divine Service throughout the yeare. Collected by the Puny Bee of all the Hive not worthy to be named otherwise than by these elements of his Name, F. P. The Gun of Penitence. The Innocent Love; or, the Holy Knight: a description of the ardors of a saint for the Virgin. The Shop of the Spiritual Apothecary; or, a collection of passages from the fathers.
