Dies Iræ (Vol. ii., p. 72.).
—I beg to refer MR. SIMPSON to the Rev. R. C. Trench's Sacred Latin Poetry Selected, London, 1849, pp. 270-277. The account of Wadding, historiographer of the Franciscan Order, is there adopted, who names Thomas of Celano as the author. The question has been thoroughly discussed by Mohnike, Hymnologische Forschungen, vol. i. pp. 1-24. See also Daniel, Thesaur. Hymnolog., vol. ii. p. 103.

Apple-pie Order (Vol. iii., p. 330.).
—If MR. SNEAK will consult a work—viz. Mrs. Glasse's (or rather Dr. Hill's) volume of cookery, which may possibly be in his lady's library—he will find a receipt for making a Devonshire squab pie. This is to be formed "by alternate layers of sliced pippins and mutton steaks," to be adjusted in the most orderly manner. Now, from the nicety and care requisite in this arrangement, may we not "surmise," though, with Sir Walter Raleigh in the Critic, I may add, "forgive, my friend, if the conjecture's rash," that the expression "Apple-pie order" has sprung from the dish in question?

The Image of both Churches (Vol. iii., p. 407.).
— There seems to be no doubt that this curious book, respecting which DR. RIMBAULT inquires, was written by Dr. Matthew Pattenson, or Patteson (not Paterson). Gee, in his Foot out of the Snare, published in 1624, the year after the publication of The Image of both Churches, in his Catalogue of "English Bookes," mentions "The Image of both Churches, by M. Pateson, now in London, a bitter and seditious book." The author is subsequently referred to as "F.(ather) Pateson, a Jesuit, lodging in Fetter Lane."
See also the Preface to Foulis's History of the Romish Treasons and Usurpations, 1671, fol., and Wood's Athenæ, edit. Bliss, vol. iv. p. 139., in which it is stated to have been mostly collected from the answers of Anti-Cotton and Joh. Brierley, Priest. In Dodd's Catholic Church History, vol. ii. p. 427., folio edit., it is also attributed to Dr. M. Pattenson, of whom some account is given, and who is mentioned to have been Physician in Ordinary to Charles I.
