I should be glad if any of the readers of your paper could tell me the
meaning of the word _Pandoxare?_ Whatever it was, it took place about
once a month.

[Ducange explains _Pandoxare_ "Cauponum exercere, agere; cerevisiam
venum exponere atque adeo conficere."]

_Lord Bacon's Metrical Version of the Psalms_.--In old Izaak Walton's
_Life of George Herbert_, I find the following passage:--

"He (_i.e._ Lord Bacon) thought him so worthy of his friendship,
that having translated many of the Prophet David's Psalms into
English verse, he made George Herbert his patron by a public
dedication of them to him, as the best judge of divine poetry."

Can any one of your numerous readers inform me if these "Metricals" are
known?--if so it will greatly oblige

_Festival of St. Michael and All Angels_.--Can any of your readers
inform me why double second lessons are appointed in the Book of
Common Prayer for the Festival of St. Michael and All Angels? First,
among the "lessons proper for Holy-days," we have, at Matins, Acts xii.
to v. 20.; and at Evensong, Jude, v.6 to v.16.: and then in the
Calendar, coming in ordinary course, we have, at Morning Prayer, Mark.
ii.; and at evening, 1 Cor. xiv. In every other case, where the second
lessons are proper, there are none appointed in the Calendar in ordinary
course.

_Wood-cut Likeness of Luther and Erasmus_.--Perhaps you will permit me
to inquire what are the earliest wood-cut likenesses of Luther and
Erasmus. Am I right in supposing that the image of the great Reformer is
found for the first time on the verse of the title-page of his treatise
_De Captivitate Babylonica Ecclesiae_, 4to., s.l.v.a.; and that the
wished-for representation of Erasmus may be seen in the small octavo
volume, entitled _Bellaria Epistolarum Erasmi Rot. et Ambrosii Pelargi
vicissim missarum_, Colon. 1539? Some of your readers will doubtless be
acquainted with what seems to be a very accurate and complete
performance, the _Vita D. Martini Lutheri Nummis atque Inconibus
illustrata_, studio M. Chr
