liæ, &c." 4to. 1612, there is a copy by Accepted Frewen, the close of which bears a remarkable resemblance to the turn and manner of Pope's concluding Line: "Angle! tuum tumulus fit car, titulus fiet ifte ; "Henricus Princeps mortuus-Hic & tus eft." ST. MÄTTHEW. C. 5. V. 36. Neither fhalt thou fwear by thy head; because thou canst not make one hair white or black. To make an hair white or black, or of any other colour, was an art in which the ancients excelled, and to which their poets frequently allude. Mentiris juvenem tindis, Lentine, capillis: Tam fubitò corvus, qui modò cycnus eras. MART, Thus these words of the Evangelift, which were intended to denote a thing impoffible, exprefs, according to the conftruction given them by our tranflators, a common device. Some other construction must therefore be fought, which ftands clear of this objection. Пaña muft not be joined with aux and away, in the fenfe of Asuna and μιλαίνειν τὴν τρίχα. Ποιῆσαι here, as in other places, fignifics to make or create. If a comma be placed after τρίχα and μέλαιναν, the fcnfe, hitherto Μήτε ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ σου ὁμέσης· ὅτι ἐν δύνασαι concealed, will appear. Thus: MTI . e. Neither fhalt thou fwear by thine μίαν τρίχα, λευκὴν ἡ μέλαιναν, ποιῆσαι head; becaufe not a fingle hair, white or black, art thou able to make. To caufe an hair to grow on the head, which had not been already rooted there, furpaffes human power. To make belongs to him, who is nar ox the Maker. Swear not then by thine head; for every hair that grows upon it, whatever may be its colour, was placed there, not by man, but his Maker. E. HIGHGATE CHAPEL. (WITH A VIEW.) HIGHGATE CHAPEL is partly in the parish of Hornfey, and partly in that of St. Pancras. It is feated in the village of Highgate, which takes its name from the high gate on the hill erected at the alteration of the Old Highway, which went to High Barnet from Port Pool, now Gray's Inn. It is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, and is erected on a spot where an hermitage formerly ftood. Adjoining to it is a free school founded by Sir Roger Cholmondley in the year 1562. By an infcription put up in the weft end of the chapel in 1682, it is faid to have been built by Edwin Sandys, Bishop of London, in 1565, as a chapel of eafe for the inhabitants of Highgate. This, however, is probably not accurate, as at that time Grindal, whofe arms is in one of the windows, was Bishop of that See. The chapel, which confifts of a small chancel, a nave, and a fouth aifle, has been enlarged fince its first erection by fundry benefactions. It was repaired in 1772 with a donation of 500l. from Mr. Pauncefoot, aided by other contributions. INSCRIPTION ON THE MONUMENT OF A LEUWENHOCK, AT DELPH, IN HOLLAND. Piz et æt. Mem A Leuwenhock Reg.

UT of Brecknockshire, Trecastle The mountains to the fouth of the Towy abound with veins of coal and limestone; but as much the largest part of this county on its north side lies at too great a distance to be fupplied with lime at an eafy rate, it is not in general fo well cultivated as it might otherwife be, producing, in proportion to its furface, no great quantities of wheat and barley; its chief commodities being oats, butter, sheep, cattle, &c. The London Road runs through the fruitfulleft and pleasantelt part of the County; and near Landilo we were particularly delighted with the romantic fituation of Dinevour Castle, the much famed refidence of many ancient Welch Princes, feated on the (ummit of a wellwooded hill, proudly overlooking the river and country round it: pot far from which its proprietor, Geo. Rice, Efq. has, in an open, delightful country, a noble feat and park; from whence we had likewife a view of Golden Grove, VOL. XXXVIII. SEPT. 1800. with its park and rich meadows, formerly the feat of the Duchefs of Bolton, now of Richard Vaughan, Efq. At no great diftance from this neighbourhood lie alfo Albemarles, an old ruined feat and park of the family of Cornwallis, and Taliaris, the feat of David Gwynne, Efq. whofe plantations of fir upon a rifing hiil form a pretty good appearance to the road. Two miles fhort of Caermarthen, we paffed by the Bithop of St. David's Palace, which very little anfwered our expectations; the unremitting hopes of tranflations to richer Sees having probably withheld its former poffeffors from beftowing upon it any confiderable improvements. Caermarthen (fee Buck's View of it) is a large, well-built town, pleasantly fituated in a good country; and as its very ample corporation revenues are of late much improved, it is probable that many public works will be undertaken towards its improvement and embellishment. It is very populous, and has cheap and plentiful markets. The river, when veffels fail up on full tide, prefents a moft beautiful appearance; and we were much delighted with the fithermen's adroit management of a cheap, portable, commodious little fifhing canoe, here called a coracle which, if introduced upon the Thames and other large rivers in England, would be both pleafurable and ufeful. This place is well fupplied with stone coal from the neighbourhood of Kidwelly (a fmall town whofe burgeffes enjoy like privileges with thofe of the Dutchy of Lancafter; near which a gentleman, remarkable for his benevoTent and noble fpirit, has, upon the Duke of Bridgewater's plan, formed, at his own expence, a canal, and other works, for the commodious exportation of his coals, to the very great advantage of this part of the country, to whole numerous poor he has, by this means, created a conftant fupport. In our way from Caermarthen to Laugharne we paffed by Coom, the feat of Gwynne Davies, Efq. which lying high and well-wooded, has an extenfive profpect of the fea, and a capability for many improvements in the modern aft..
