"Words are given to man to conceal his thoughts" (Vol. vii., p. 165.).—The hexameter line, ὅς χ' ἕτερον, &c., is one put by Homer into the mouth of Achilles (Iliad, ix. 313.), when he is expressing his indignant hatred of liars.

Folger Family (Vol. vi., p. 583.; Vol. vii., p. 51.).—Will it assist the inquiry to say that there was a family of Foulgers at Norwich? The only son was a curate at Leiston, in Suffolk, in 1832.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
The remarkable collection of Northern Irish Antiquities and Historical Relics, exhibited at Belfast on the occasion of the British Association meeting in that city, has led to the publication of The Ulster Journal of Archæology, which is to be conducted by gentlemen of the province, and principally devoted to the elucidation of the antiquities and ancient history of Ulster. Ulster, it will be remembered, is historically remarkable as being the last part of Ireland which held out against the English sway, and which therefore retained its ancient customs until a comparatively recent period. Ulster was also the battle-field of the ancient native Irish chieftains and the Scandinavian Vikings. The antiquaries of Ulster have therefore done wisely, while the tangled web of Northern Irish History can yet be
unravelled by existing aids—while the men who are now the depositories of family and local history are yet among them—to commence this Journal; and in the tact and good management displayed in the selection of the materials of their opening Number, they have not only done wisely, but done well also. May they go on and prosper!
