_Romagnasi's Works._--In a "Life of G.D. Romagnasi," in vol. xviii. _Law
Mag._, p. 340., after enumerating several of his works, it is added, "All
these are comprised in a single volume, Florentine edit. of 1835." I have
in vain endeavoured to procure the work, and have recently received an
answer from the first book establishment in Florence, to the effect that no
such edition ever appeared either at Florence or elsewhere.

This is strange after the explicit statement in the _Law Mag._, and I shall
be obliged to receive through the medium of your useful pages any
information regarding the work in question.

_Christopher Barker's Device._--I have often been puzzled to understand the
precise meaning of the inscription on Christopher Barker's device. Whether
this arises from my own ignorance, or from any essential difficulty in it,
I cannot tell; but I should be glad of an explanation. I copy from a folio
edition of the Geneva Bible, "imprinted at London by Christopher Barker,
printer to the Queene's Majesty, 1578."

The device consists of a boar's head rising from a mural crown, with a
scroll proceeding from its mouth, and embracing a lamb in the lowest fold.
The inscription on this scroll is as follows:--

"Tigre . Reo.
Animale . Del.
Adam . Vecchio.
Figliuolo . Merce.
L'Evangelio . Fatto.
N'Estat . Agnello."
