Cambridge, March 27. _Marylebone Gardens_.--In what year did Marylebone Gardens finally close? NASO. _Toom Shawn Cattie_.--I find these words (Gaelic, I believe, from _Tom John Gattie_) in an old Diary, followed by certain hieroglyphics, wherewith I was wont to express "_recommended for perusal_." I have lost all trace of the recommender, and have hunted in vain through many a circulating library list for the name, which I believe to be that of some book or song illustrating the domestic life of our Western Highlanders. Can any of your readers assist me in deciphering my own note? MELANION. _Love's Last Shift_.--In the first edition of Peignot's _Manuel du Biblioplide_, published in 1800, the title of Congreve's "Mourning Bride" is rendered "L'Epouse du Matin." Can any of your readers inform me whether it is in the same work that the title of "Love's Last Shift" is translated by "Le dernier Chemise de l'Amour?" if not, in what other book is it? H.C. DE ST. CROIX. |
