Ecclesfield Vicarage, Dec. 11. 1849.
_Lines quoted by Goethe._ If any of your readers can inform me who is the author of the following lines, quoted by Goethe in his _Autobiography_, he will greatly oblige me:-- "Then old age and experience, hand in hand, Lead him to death, and make him understand, After a search so painful and so long, That all his life he has been in the wrong." TREBOR. King's College, Dec. 8. 1849. _MS. Sermons by Jeremy Taylor._ I venture to send you the following note, as embodying a query, which I am sure deserves, if possible, to be answered. "Southey, _Omniana_, i. 251. Coleridge asserts (_Literary Remains_, i. 303.), that there is now extent, in MS., a folio volume of unprinted sermons by Jeremy Taylor. It would be very interesting to learn in what region of the world so great a treasure has been suffered to rust during a hundred and fifty years."--Willmott's _Life of Bishop Jeremy Taylor_, p. 87. OXONIENSIS. |
