Tonbridge, July 29. 1851.
69. English Translation of Nonnus.
—I shall be obliged if any of your correspondents will inform me if any translation of the poet Nonnus, which contains, perhaps, most that is known about Bacchus, has ever been made into English; if so, by whom, and when?
70. Of Prayer in one Tongue.
—Bishop Jewel, in his celebrated sermon preached at Paul's Cross, quotes the following argument as used by Gerson, sometime Chancellor of Paris:
"There is but one only God; ergo, all nations throughout the world must pray to Him in one tongue."
The editor of the Parker Society's edition of Jewel cannot discover the argument in the works of Gerson; but if any of your readers can point out where it may be found, I shall be much obliged.
