JERSITY KING'S CLASSICAL AND FOREIGN QUOTATIONS. NOW READY. 6s. net. We have to announce a new edition of this Dictionary. It first appeared at the end of '87, and was quickly disposed of. A larger (and corrected) issue came out in the spring of 1889, and is now out of print. The Third, published on July 14, contains a large accession of important matter, in the way of celebrated historical and literary sayings and mots, much wanted to bring the Dictionary to a more complete form, and now appearing in its pages for the first time. On the other hand, the pruning knife has been freely used, and the excisions are numerous. A multitude of trivial and superfluous items have thus been cast away wholesale, leaving only those citations which were worthy of a place in a standard work of reference. As a result, the actual number of quotations is less, although it is hoped that the improvement in quality will more than compensate for the loss in quantity. The book has, in short, been not only revised, but rewritten throughout, and is not so much a new edition as a new work. It will be seen also that the quotations are much more racontés" than before, and that where any history, story, or allusion attaches to any particular saying, the opportunity for telling the tale has not been thrown away. In this way what is primarily taken up as a book of reference, may perhaps be retained in the hand as a piece of pleasant reading, that is not devoid at times of the elements of humour and amusement. One other feature of the volume, and perhaps its most valuable one, deserves to be noticed. The previous editions professed to give not only the quotation, but its reference; and, although performance fell very far short of promise, it was at that time the only dictionary of the kind. published in this country that had been compiled with that definite aim in view. In the present case no citation-with the exception of such unaffiliated things as proverbs, maxims, and mottoes-has been admitted without its author and passage, or the " chapter and verse in which it may be found, or on which it is founded. In order, however, not to lose altogether, for want of identification, a number of otherwise deserving sayings, an appendix of Adespota is supplied, consisting of quotations which either the editor has failed to trace to their source, or the paternity of which has not been satisfactorily proved. There are four indexes-Authors and authorities, Subject index, Quotation index, and index of Greek passages. Its deficiencies notwithstanding, 'Classical and Foreign Quotations' has so far remained without a rival as a polyglot manual of the world's famous sayings in one pair of covers and of moderate dimensions, and its greatly improved qualities should confirm it still more firmly in public use and estimation.

Besant on borne by Magdalen College. He chose as his motto a verse from the Magnificat, Fecit mihi magna qui potens est." In 1448, the year after his appointment to the see of Winchester, he founded at Oxford the Hall of St. Mary Magdalen, or Maudelayne Halle." This lay on the southern side of the High Street, south-west of the present College. Ten years later Waynflete, having acquired the ancient hospital of St. John Baptist, outside the East Gate of the town, suppressed both Hall and Hospital, and founded his College of St. Mary Magdalen within the buildings of the latter. At some date between 1426 and 1429 he had received from Cardinal Beaufort, his immediate predecessor in the see, preMr. Moxhay, Leicester Square Showman-Love Ales- sentation to the Mastership of St. Mary Haswell Family-Palindrome-" Poeta nascitur non fit," Magdalen's Hospital, situate upon a hill a mile 35 - Wesley and the Wig-Sir George Davies, Bart.-east of Winchester-the memory of which Quenington, Gloucestershire-House of Lords, 1625-60-early preferment may have suggested the William Waynflete-Hollicke or Holleck, Middlesex, 36- dedication of his College.

As visitor of the latter house by virtue of his bishopric, Waynflete would have every opportunity of inspecting both the external and internal economy. His chapel and hall were arranged on Wykeham's system, so as to form together one high continuous range of building, but on the south side of the great quadrangle, and not on the north, as at New College and All Souls'. His chapel, moreover, was given a similar transeptal ante-chapel, the east end of lofty tabernacle work being likewise in contact with the table end of the hall, as at these earlier foundations. A novel feature in collegiate architecture was the erection of a monastic cloister, with chambers above it, carried round the great quadrangle. The south walk of this cloister, which abuts against the hall and chapel, was added in 1490, and probably did not form part of the original design.

MAGDALEN COLLEGE SCHOOL AND THE 'D.N.B.' THE Public Schools' Enquiry Commission of 1866 reported :— "Few schools have been more famous, or of more service to good learning in this country, than this school was in ancient times...... Indeed, next perhaps after Winchester College, the country is more indebted to this school than to any other institution in the kingdom for the revival of learning, and the cultivation of the only study which in those days could be popularly diffused, namely, that of the Latin language." And Dr. Hastings Rashdall has, in the same connexion, called Magdalen College School the "first home of the Renaissance" in England. Bishop Waynflete, a full Wykehamist probably by education, after being head master of his old school, became successively original Fellow, first head master, and second Provost of Eton College (founded 1440), which he practically completed. (See A History of Winchester College,' by A. F. Leach, pp. 204-5.) To his original coat of arms-a field fusilly (or lozengy) ermine and sable-he made the addition of on a chief of the second three lilies slipped argent," borrowed from the Eton shield; and the coat, as thus altered, is still Peter Heylyn in his 'Memorial of Waynflete' thus addresses his founder in somewhat halting lines: But Oxford oweth thee yet more thanks; for thou That o'er thy young grammarians take care. Waynflete followed Wykeham also in attaching a school to his College; and not one school only, but two. But he departed from |
