published some of them. The rest, it has been stated, passed from Dr.
G. into the possession of New College, Oxford. Are any of these still preserved in the library of that college? or, if not, can any trace be found of the persons into whose hands they subsequently came, or of the circumstances under which they were lost to New College? A.H. _Allusion in Friar Brackley's Sermon_.--In Fenn's _Paston Letters_, XCVIII. (vol. iii., p. 393., or vol. i., p. 113. Bohn), entitled "An ancient Whitsunday Sermon, preached by Friar Brackley (whose hand it is). At the Friers Minors Church in Norwich" occurs the following:-- "Semiplenum gaudium est quando quis in præsenti gaudet et tunc cogitans de futuris dolet; ut in quodam libro Græco, &c." "Quidam Rex Græciæ, &c.; here ye may see but half a joy; who should joy in this world if he remembered him of the pains of the other world?" What is the Greek Book, and who is the king of Greece alluded to? N.E.R. _Selden's Titles of Honour_.--Does any gentleman possess a MS. Index to Selden's _Titles of Honour_? Such, if printed, would be a boon; for it is a dreadful book to wade through for what one wants to find. |
