na._"--To your list of desirable reprints, I beg to add the very
amusing work under this title, and originally published in four small {301}
volumes about fifty years since, and now become scarce. Additions and
corrections would add to the value and interest of a work which preserves
many curious traits of past times and of Oxford Dons.

ALPHA.

_An Epigram falsely ascribed to George Herbert._--The recent editors of
George Herbert have printed as his, among his Latin poems, the last two
lines of the 76th epigram of Martial's eighth book:

"Vero verius ergo quid sit, audi:
Verum, Gallice, non libenter audis."

_Ingulph: Bohn's "Antiquarian Library."_--Will you kindly allow me to avail
myself of your columns to correct an error in my translation of "Ingulph,"
in Bohn's _Antiquarian Library_? In the note to page 2, the Abbey of
_Bardney,_ in Lincolnshire, is confounded with _Partney,_ which was one of
its cells. The mistake was not observed till, unfortunately, the sheet had
been printed; and it was accidentally omitted among the _errata_. My
authority had, I rather think, been misled by Camden.

And calls me forth to battle:
Our banners float 'midst war's alarms,
The signal cannons rattle."

Upon that dirty ball,
But to heaven shall come,
