_Misquotation--"He who runs may read_."--No such passage exists in the
Scriptures, though it is constantly quoted as from them. It is usually
the accompaniment of expressions relative to the clearness of meaning or
direction, the supposititious allusion being to an inscription written
in very large characters. The text in the prophet Habakkuk is the
following: "Write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may
run that readeth it." (Ch. ii. 2.) Here, plainly, the meaning is, that
every one reading the vision should be alarmed by it, and should fly
from the impending calamity: and although this involves the notion of
legibility and clearness, that notion is the secondary, and not the
primary one, as those persons make it who misquote in the manner stated
above.

_Tindal's New Testament._--The following Bibliographical Note, by the
late Mr. Thomas Rodd, taken from a volume of curious early Latin and
German Tracts, which will be sold by Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson on
Friday next, deserves a more permanent record than the Sale Catalogue.

"I consider the second tract of particular interest and
curiosity, as it elucidates an important point in English
literature, viz., the place (Worms) where Tindal printed the
edition of the New Testament commonly called the first, and
generally ascribed to the Antwerp Press.

"This book is printed in a Gothic letter, with woodcuts and
Initial Letters (in the year 1518).

"I have carefully examined every book printed at Antwerp, at the
period, that has fallen in my way; but in no one of them have I
found the same type or initial letters as are used therein.

"In the present tract I find the same form of type and woodcuts,
from the same school; and also, what is more remarkable, an
initial (D) letter, one of the same alphabet as a P used in the
Testament. These initial letters were always cut in alphabets,
and in no other books than these two have I discovered any of
the letters of this alphabet.

"The mistake has arisen from the circumstance of there having
been a piratical reprint of the book at Antwerp in 1525, but of
which no copy is known to exist."
