Unacknowledged Quotations from the Scriptures.
—As a compensation for the passages which are often held to be in the Bible, but are not there, it sometimes happens that others are taken from thence, and given to profane authors. Among these is "Multi pertransibunt, et augebitur scientia," which, Daniel xii. 4. notwithstanding, is the motto of the first edition of Montucla's History of Mathematics, followed by "—Bacon." I have also seen it given to Bacon elsewhere.

Latin Hexameters on the Bible.
—The doggerel Latin hexameters subjoined were made by a Christmas party at Billingbear, eighty years ago. Amongst the contributors I can only point out the names of my father and Sir Thomas Frankland, the sixth baronet, who printed the verses for distribution amongst his friends. I have often found them useful, and they may be perhaps of service to others.
