resemble the following quatrain in the _Satyre Menippée_, being one of
the several verses appended to the tapestry on which was wrought the
battle of Senlis:--

"Souvent celuy qui demeure
Est cause de son meschef;
Celuy qui fuit de bonne heure
Peut combattre de rechef."

NOTES FROM FLY-LEAVES, No. 5.

In the library of St. John's College are some hundreds of volumes
bequeathed to it by Thomas Baker; most of these have little notices on
the fly-leaves, some thirty or forty of which seem worth printing. One
(Strype's _Life of Parker_) has marginal notes throughout the book, the
value of which will be duly appreciated by those who have read Baker's
notes on Burnet's _Reformation_. (See the _British Magazine_ for the
last year.)

Hereafter, if you do not object, I hope to send larger extracts from
Baker's MSS.; at present I confine myself to a single specimen, taken
from the fly-leaf of a copy of Noy's _Compleat Lawyer_, London, 1665.
