Notes.

I might give an extract or two from this very interesting tract, but do not wish to trespass too much upon your space. Perhaps, next to Milton, there is no writer of the time of the Commonwealth equal to John Goodwin, in power and elevation of composition; and I am glad therefore to be able to add one more to the series of his pamphlets which his biographer has with so much industry and research enumerated at the close of the Life.

JAS. CROSSLEY.

MR. COLLIER'S FOLIO SHAKSPEARE: A PASSAGE IN "AS YOU LIKE IT."

"Who might be your mother, That you insult, exult, and all at once, Over the wretched?"

"Let it not be believ'd for womanhood: Think we had mothers."

"I have been harsh To large confessors, and have hotly ask'd them If they had mothers? I had one, a woman, And women t'were they wrong'd."

SAMUEL HICKSON.

In the year 1558 a handsome volume was printed at Basle, in folio in Greek, by Jerome Frobenius and Nicholas Episcopius, with the following title:

Antony ? Wood gives a list of the writings of Laurence Humphrey, among which is a life of Bishop Jewell in Latin: he also speaks highly of his scholarship and proficiency in theology. After his return from abroad he became Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford, and President of his college. In 1570 he was made Dean of Gloucester, and ten years afterward Dean of Winchester. His divinity was strongly tinctured with Calvinism, but he was a zealous and able defender of the Reformation. His death occurred in 1589-90.

SCOTO-GALLICISMS.

E. N.

It is so usual with Malone and some other commentators on Shakspeare to impute the errors of the printer to the poet, that we often find the most glaring instances of false grammar, and anomalies of construction, laid to his charge, and defended as the practice of the time; and as his own practice!

The following passage is an instance in point:

Steevens with reason says:

"This change from the second person to the third is so violent, that I cannot help imputing it to the players, transcribers, or printers."

The compositor, as in other cases, mistook the word, probably written "th," and printed "thee" for "them."

OLD CONCERT BILL.

The following curious bill of a benefit concert given by Signor Carbonelli, at Drury Lane Theatre, in 1722, will enable us to form some opinion of the musical taste prevailing in London in the first quarter of the eighteenth century:

I should mention, that Signor Carbonelli was a celebrated violin player, and a favourite pupil of Corelli. He was brought over to this country by his patron, the first Duke of Rutland.

EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.

Minor Notes.

"Towards Glasgow and Edinburgh the mountains are no longer called 'fell' and 'rigg.'"
