"L'hypocrisie est un hommage que le vice rend à la vertu."
R.V. _Ave Trici and Gheeze Ysenoudi._--If "S.W. SINGER" can give information as to what convent, English or foreign, the sisters _Ave Trici_ and _Gheeze Ysenoudi_, mentioned in his note on Otloh, state themselves (or are assumed) to have belonged, he will much oblige, by doing so, H.L.B. _A Latin Verse._--Everybody has seen the following quotation-- "Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis," and everybody thinks he knows from whence it is taken. Which of your readers can verify it? E.V. _Table-Book._--Can any of your readers refer me to a museum containing a specimen of an ancient _table-book_? Douce had one, which was in Mr. Rodd's catalogue, but now sold; and Hone also possessed one. These two, and another in the hands of a friend of mine, are the only specimens I have heard of; but they are not quite as old or as genuine as one could wish. |
