School of the Heart (Vol. iii., p. 390.).
—The editor of the Christian Poet referred to in a paragraph signed S. T. D. has not the School of the Heart by Quarles at hand, and cannot now examine whether the two small pieces quoted in the former volume under the name of Thomas Harvey from SCHOLA CORDIS in forty-seven emblems, 1647, belong to one or the other writer. The only authority, from which he recollects to have gathered them, he believes to be Sir Egerton Brydges' Censura Literaria, or his Restituta, which are very voluminous and miscellaneous, and are at present beyond his research. From internal evidence, he thinks the two poems are not by Quarles, though not unworthy of him in his best vein.

P.S. Since the foregoing note was written, I have found the copy of Sir E. Brydge's Restituta, from which I copied the extract of Schola Cordis, in the Christian Poet.
"Schola Cordis: or the Heart of itself gone away from God, brought back again to Him, and instructed by Him. In 47 Emblems. 1647. 12mo. pp. 196."
