different authors of the same name into
one, and the creation of an author who
never existed. The first kind we may
illustrate by mentioning the dismay of the
worthy Bishop Jebb, when he found himself
identified in Watt's _Bibliotheca_ with
his uncle, the Unitarian writer. Of the
second kind we might point out the
names of men whose lives have been
written and yet who never existed. In
the _Zoological Biography_ of Agassiz,
published by the Ray Society, there is an
imaginary author, by name J. K. Broch,
whose work, _Entomologische Briefe_, was
published in 1823. This pamphlet is
really anonymous, and was written by

one who signed himself J. K. Broch, is
merely an explanation in the catalogue
from which the entry was taken that it
was a _brochure_. Moreri created an author,
whom he styled Dorus Basilicus, out of
the title of James I.'s ron basilikn>,
and Bishop Walton supposed the title of
the great Arabic Dictionary, the _Kamoos_
or Ocean, to be the name of an author
whom he quotes as ``Camus.'' In the
article on Stenography in Rees's Cyclopdia
there are two most amusing blunders.
