Translation of the Philobiblon.—Where can I procure a translation of Robert de Bury's Philobiblon?
L.S.
Achilles and the Tortoise.—Where is the paradox of "Achilles and the Tortoise" to be found? Leibnitz is said to have given it solution in some part of his works.
There is also a geometrical treatment of the subject by Gregoire de S. Vincent. Will some reading man oblige me with information or reference concerning it.
[Greek: Idiotaes.]
Dominicals.—I am desirous of obtaining information on a subject of much interest to Exeter.
An ancient payment is made to the rectors of each parish within the city of Exeter, called "Dominicals," amounting to 1d. per week from every householder within the parish. Payments of a similar nature are made in London, Canterbury, and I believe Worcester. Can any of your numerous readers state the origin of Dominicals, and give any information respecting them.
