"_Men are but Children_," &c.--R.G. (Vol. ii., p. 22.) will find the
line about which he inquires in Dryden's _All for Love; or, The World
well Lost_, Act iv. Sc. 1.

Dolabella (_loq._):
"Men are but children of a larger growth,
Our appetites as apt to change as theirs,

information touching the words [Hebrew: 'or], [Greek: eggastrimuthos],
&c., in Dr. Maitland's recent _Illustrations and Enquiries relating to
Mesmerism_, pp. 55. 81. The Lexicons of Drs. Lee and Gesenius may also

lexicographers would rank the Pythian priestess with "our modern
conjurers."
