_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.
