ord _Phallicus_,
and supposes it to allude to some amorous propensities of the reformer.

Which of these authorities are we to believe?

_Early Culture of the Imagination._--I have somewhere read, possibly in an
article of the _Quarterly Review_, the opinion very strikingly expressed,
and attributed to Mr. Lockhart, that children's imaginative faculty ought
to be more prominently cultivated than their reason; and, on this ground,
the reading of _Fairy Tales_, _The Arabian Nights_, &c. was recommended for
children. Will any one kindly refer me to this passage? And, as it is
wanted for an immediate purpose, an early insertion and reply to this query
will oblige me.

_Sir Thomas Bullen's Drinking Horn._--Does any one know whether the
drinking horn which belonged to Sir Thomas Bullen still exists? By the will
it was directed to be kept as a heir-loom.

P.

_Peter Sterry._--In the title-page and address to the reader of Peter
Sterry's _Appearance of God to Man in the Gospel_, &c., and other his
posthumous discourses, 4to. 1710, mention is made of certain miscellaneous
tracts, letters, &c., taken from original MSS. left by him, whose
publication was made to depend on the success of the above work. Sterry was
spoken of by Baxter in complimentary terms, notwithstanding his peculiar
sentiments and manner of writing; and in a MS. note on the title-page of
Sterry's _Discourse of the Freedom of the Will_, folio, 1675, he is said to
have been "chaplain first to Lord Brooke, afterwards to Oliver Cromwell."
If any of your readers can say whether the "miscellaneous tracts," &c.,
were ever published, and, if not, where the MSS. are likely to be found,
with any further information concerning him, which is desired by many
persons deeply interested in his history and writings, it will confer a
favour on me.

Lord Clarendon notices a work of Sir Harry Vane (who was an associate of
Sterry's), entitled _Love to God_, &c.[1] I should also be glad to know
where that work may be found.

[Footnote 1: [The title of Vane's work is, _Of the Love of God, and Union
with God_, 4to. 1657. It is not to be found in the Catalogues of the
British Museum, Bodleian, Sion College, D. Williams' library, or London
Institution.]]

_"Words are Men's Daughters," &c._--

"Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things."

Where does this verse occur? Who was the author? Can any parallel passages
be adduced?
