Can any learned clerk inform me where a copy of such Homilies can be seen? B. _Collar of SS_.--Where can we find _much_ about the SS. collar?

SAMSON. _Passage in Lucan_.--What parallel passages are there to that of _Lucan_:-- "Communis mundo superest rogus, ossibus astra Misturus?" J. SAMSON. _William of Wykeham_.--Is there any better Life of William of Wykeham than the very insufficient one of Bishop Lowth? What were the circumstances of the rise of William of Wykeham, respecting which Lowth is so very scanty and unsatisfactory? |
