six editions, and have not found the verse in the two earliest.
These bear the following titles:--

"Biblia dat ys. de gantze hillige Schrifft verduedeschet dorch
Doct. Mart. Luth. Wittemberch. Hans Lufft. 1579." (in folio.)
"Dat Neu Testamente verduedeschet doerch D. Mart. Luth. mit den
korten Summarien L. Leonharti Hutteri. Gosslar. In Iahre 1619."

The verse appears in an edition of his Bible printed at Halle in 1719;
in his New Testament, Tubingen, 1793; in one printed at Basel in 1821;
and is also to be found in that printed by the Christian Knowledge
Society. In the Basel edition the verse is thus given;--

"Denn Drey sind, die de zeugen im Himmel; der Vater, das Wort,
und der beilige Geist; und diese Drey sind Eins."

Perhaps some of your learned readers can explain when, and by whose
authority, the verse was inserted in Luther's Testament.

E.M.B.

[We may add, that the verse also appears in the stereotype
edition of Luther's Bible, published by Tauchnitz, at Leipsig,
in 1819.--ED.]

MINOR QUERIES.

_Medical Symbols._--"A PATIENT" inquires respecting the origin and date
of the marks used to designate weights in medical prescriptions.

_Charles II. and Lord R.'s Daughter._--Can any of your readers inform me
who was the lady that is referred to in the following passage, from
Henry Sidney's _Diary_, edited by Mr. Blencowe (March 9. 1610, vol. i.
p. 298.):--

"The King hath a new mistress, Lord R----'s daughter: she
brought the Duke of Monmouth to the King."

C.

_St. Alban's Day._--A friend has asked me the following question, which
some of your readers may perhaps be able to answer, viz.:--

"Till the reign of Ed. VI. St. Alban's Day was kept in England on June
22d (the supposed anniversary {400} of his martyrdom). It was then
erased from the kalendar, but restored to it in the reign of Chas. II.;
when it was transferred to June 17th. Why was this change made?"

W.C. TREVELYAN.

_Black Broth_ (No. 19. p. 300.).--If this were a sauce or condiment, may
not the colour have been produced by the juice of the Boletus, much used
in Greece to the present day?

S.S.S.

_Deputy-Lieutenants of the Tower of London._--By whom were these
officers appointed? What was the nature of their duties? Had they a
salary, or was the office an honorary appointment? They used to meet
periodically, was it for the transaction
