_Dutch Language_.--"E. VEE" will be indebted to "ROTTERODAMUS," or any
other correspondent, who can point out to him the best _modern_ books
for acquiring a knowledge of the Dutch language,--an Anglo-Dutch
Grammar and Dictionary.

_Horns_.--1. Why is Moses represented in statues with horns? The idea
is not, I think, taken from the Bible.

2. What is the reason for assigning horns to a river, as in the
"Tauriformis Aufidus."

3. What is the origin of the expression "to give a man horns," for
grossly dishonouring him? It is met with in late Greek.

_Marylebone Gardens_.--In what year did Marylebone Gardens finally
close?

NASO.

_Toom Shawn Cattie_.--I find these words (Gaelic, I believe, from
_Tom John Gattie_) in an old Diary, followed by certain hieroglyphics,
wherewith I was wont to express "_recommended for perusal_." I have
lost all trace of the recommender, and have hunted in vain through
many a circulating library list for the name, which I believe to
be that of some book or song illustrating the domestic life of our
Western Highlanders. Can any of your readers assist me in deciphering
my own note?

MELANION.

_Love's Last Shift_.--In the first edition of Peignot's _Manuel du
Biblioplide_, published in 1800, the title of Congreve's "Mourning
Bride" is rendered "L'Epouse du Matin." Can any of your readers inform
me whether it is in the same work that the title of "Love's Last
Shift" is translated by "Le dernier Chemise de l'Amour?" if not, in
what other book is it?

_Cheshire-round_.--"W.P.A." asks the meaning of the above phrase, and
where it is described.

_Why is an Earwig called a "Coach-bell?"_--Your correspondents,
although both kind and learned, do not appear to have given any
satisfactory answer to my former query--why a lady-bird is called
Bishop Barnaby? Probably there will be less difficulty in answering
another entomological question--Why do the country-people in the south
of Scotland call an earwig a "coach-bell?" The name "earwig" itself is
sufficiently puzzling, but "coach-bell" seems, if possible, still more
utterly unintelligible.

LEGOUR.

_Chrysopolis_.--Chrysopolis is the Latin name for the town of Parma,
also for that of Scutari, in Turkey. Is the etymological connection of
the two
