it dressed in a simple tunic and barefooted, and all the monks of the various monasteries and abbeys were ordered to attend with their relics. The monks of St. Denis on this occasion,' says Dulaure, did not bring the crown of thorns which they possessed.' The writer then enumerates a variety of other articles which St. Louis purchased from the Emperor of Constantinople the reed, the sponge, the purple mantle, &c.; and had the French King lived he would probably have bought the finger of the Holy Ghost, to which Mr. Draper alludes in his Conflict between Religion and Science. may add, as a curious fact connected with the siege of Paris, that the first shell which the Prussians fired into St. Denis struck the marble statue of the martyr and decapitated it; also, that the last remains removed from the church were those of the elder brother of Napoleon III. The Bourbons, on their restoration, did not consider that the ashes of a Bonaparte had any right to remain in the ancient burial-place of the kings of France, and had them transferred to the Malmaison." Pall Mall Gazette, Oct. 12. THE SURVEY OF PALESTINE.-The Quarterly Statement of the Palestine Fund for October contains a full account of the savage and unprovoked attack made upon the party by Mahometan fanatics at Safed, concerning which various contradictory telegrams reached England at the time. The result up to the present is that the triangulation has been stopped for the moment, and the Committee put to very heavy expense. The whole party have been ordered home to recruit their health, to get away from the disturbed district, and to avoid the cholera which has been flying about Syria all the summer. The survey, however, has not been stopped, but office work, of which there is a vast quantity to be done, will go on in England instead of in Palestine. It is intended to resume the triangulation at the earliest possible opportunity. The new number of the Society's Report contains, besides a large number of identifications proposed by Lieutenant Conder, a valuable paper by the same officer on the scene of David's duel with Goliath; two papers by M. Clermont-Ganneau; one on the ruins of Arvad, by Mr. Greville J. Chester; with other notes of interest and value. LESSING'S "MINNA VON BARNHELM" (5th S. iv. 260, 280.)-My learned friend, MR. F. NORGATE, seems to be positive where I merely conjectured, and asserts "that the play mentioned by William Taylor under the title of Love and Honour' was doubtless the same as the School for Honour, and an oversight on the part of Taylor." I should, however, before considering this as a positive fact, like to have some actual proof that the two titles refer to the same translation. A slip of the pen, such as putting Richard for Robert, as I have done myself in my former communication, may occur easily enough, but not so to write "Love and Honour" for "The School for Honour." Besides, what justifies us in assuming the impossibility that Robert Harvey had also produced an "elegant version" of Minna von Barnhelm As regards the other translation mentioned by MR. NORGATE, which bears the title of "The Disbanded Officer; or, the Baroness of Bruchsal," he could find some account of it in my Critical Introduction to Lessing's play. It was published and performed "at the Theatre Royal in the Haymarket" in 1786, and was, in fact, the first version of any German play performed in this country. A third translation appeared in 1805, by Fanny Holcroft, and a fourth in 1838, by the Rev. J. J. Holroyd. Why, then, should it be absolutely impossible that there exists also a fifth translation by "Robert Harvey, of Catton, near Norwich"? C. A. BUCHHEIM. MESSRS. CASSELL & Co., the publishers of The Popular Educator, have determined to issue a thorough and com plete Compendium of Cookery, in the belief that such a work, being made most comprehensive, will find its way into the hands of those whom it so closely concerns. AUTHORS AND QUOTATIONS Wanted.— "DON'T YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU?" (5th S. iv. 180.)" O, do you remember," &c., is the first line of "a favourite ballad, sung by Mr. Braham in the comic opera of the Two Houses of Grenada, as performed at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane; written and composed by J. A. Wade, Esq. Printed and sold by F. T. Latour, 50, New Bond Street." I can give your fair correspondent the words of the song if she requires them. FREDK. RULE. Notices to Correspondents.
