But how to dispose of it to the best bidder,
For a barrack or malt-house, we now must consider."

And in a foot-note on _Hamilton's bawn_, in the original
edition, it is described as "a large old house, two miles from
Sir Arthur Acheson's seat."]


_Versicle and Response._--What is the meaning of the following versicle
and its response, which occur in both Morning and Evening Prayer?

"Give peace in our time, O Lord,
Because there is none other that fighteth for us
but only thou, O God!"

Surely the "because" &c. is a _non sequitur_!

[In Palmer's _Origines Liturgice_, vol. i. p. 241. (2d edit.),
we find the following note on the response, "_Quia_ non est
alius," &c.:--"Brev. Eboracens. fol. 264.; Brev. Sarisb. fol.
85." Bishop Lloyd remarks on this verse and response as
follows:--"I do not know what Burnet means by stating that this
response was made in the year 1549, on the occasion of political
occurrences, for this answer is found in all the foreign
breviaries, in the Salisbury primer, and in the primer of Hen.
