[We may add, that the verse also appears in the stereotype
edition of Luther's Bible, published by Tauchnitz, at Leipsig,
in 1819.--ED.]

MINOR QUERIES.

_Medical Symbols._--"A PATIENT" inquires respecting the origin and date
of the marks used to designate weights in medical prescriptions.


_Charles II. and Lord R.'s Daughter._--Can any of your readers inform me
who was the lady that is referred to in the following passage, from
Henry Sidney's _Diary_, edited by Mr. Blencowe (March 9. 1610, vol. i.
p. 298.):--

"The King hath a new mistress, Lord R----'s daughter: she
brought the Duke of Monmouth to the King."

C.


_St. Alban's Day._--A friend has asked me the following question, which
some of your readers may perhaps be able to answer, viz.:--

"Till the reign of Ed. VI. St. Alban's Day was kept in England on June
22d (the supposed anniversary {400} of his martyrdom). It was then
erased from the kalendar, but restored to it in the reign of Chas. II.;
when it was transferred to June 17th. Why was this change made?"
