—In No. 103 of "NOTES AND QUERIES," under the head of "Sanderson and Taylor," a question is put by W. W. as to the common source of the sentence, "Conscience is the brightness and splendour of the eternal light, a spotless mirror of the Divine majesty, and the image of the goodness of God." Without at all saying that it is the common source, I would beg to refer W. W. to "The Wisdom of Solomon," c. vii. v. 26., where "wisdom" is described as "the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of His goodness." The coincidence is curious, though the Latin expressions are dissimilar, the verse in "The Wisdom of Solomon" being as follows: "Nam splendor est à luce æterna et speculum efficacitatis Dei expers maculæ, ac imago bonitatis ejus."

Island of Ægina and the Temple of Jupiter Panhellinius (Vol. iv., p. 255.).
—In Lemprière's Classical Dict., by the Rev. J. A. Giles, 1843, is the subjoined:—
"The most remarkable remnant of antiquity at the present day is the temple of 'Jupiter Panhellinius' on a mount of the same name about four hours' distance from the port, supposed to be one of the most ancient temples in Greece, and the oldest specimen of Doric architecture; Dodwell pronounces it to be the most picturesque ruin in Greece."
And in Arrowsmith's Compendium of Ancient and Modern Geography, 1839, p. 414.:
"In the southern part of the island is Panhellinius Mons, so called from a temple of Jupiter Panhellinius, erected on its summit by Æacus."
