THE following inscriptions, like the 78 already given, are on the left of the broad path as one enters the old Protestant Cemetery at Naples by the western gate :—

THE 'D.N.B.'

In the course of continued researches into the pages of the 'Dictionary of National Biography,' in connexion with the compilation of a local history, I am tempted to wonder whether it has ever occurred to those chiefly concerned in the production of that monumental work how useful a complete index to the names and places mentioned therein would be. As things are at present, the local historian, going through the records of his locality, is almost completely at a loss to know what names should be selected by him for mention in his work. Many districts (more particularly in cities) which once had teeming populations, among whom some old-time worthy frequently flourished, are now "dead" as the proverbial door-nail, and it is with the extremest difficulty that any knowledge of even the names of the bygone notabilities can be arrived at, especially when they were not of the first order of importance in their day, or possessed names which were

Turner, a. 6 yrs. 4 mths., and Lydia Cath. Turner, a. [19] mths, both ds. of Wm. and Emma Turner, of Santa Lucia, ob. 1846; and their s. Arthur Samuel, a. 9, ob. 14 Sept., 1853.

'AS YOU LIKE IT,' IV. iii. 102: CHEWING THE FOOD OF SWEET AND BITTER FANCY.” -A number of eminent editors have in the past fifty years attacked the integrity of this line, and the Clarendon Press editor sees. here an allusion to Lodge's novel, p. 100. But it seems safe to aver that we have

'MEASURE FOR MEASURE,' II. iv. 94:

The generally accepted explanation—that "ALL-BUILDING."-It is very dangerous. Leontes, on saying, As you feel doing thus," lays hold of either the beard or arm, or some other part of Antigonus-is a grossly literal, and, I believe, we shall see, an erroneous interpretation.

Rowe would have replaced it unchastity of woman; whereupon Leontes by all-holding, Johnson by all-binding; but takes him at his word, and replies that, alterations like these, suggested probably although Antigonus does not see the queen's by "manacles" in the preceding line, do guilt, he (Leontes) sees it, and feels as not fit in naturally and easily with, nor do savagely inclined as Antigonus does in thus they add much force to, the word with which saying what he would do under such condi- they are to be connected.

"Doing thus plainly refers to Antigonus-"As you (Antigonus) feel (in) doing thus ". making it impossible for his daughters to bring false generations. The king adds "and see withal The instruments that feel

and, what is more, I see those things in present conditions which are instrumental in making me feel." Under the usual explanation the commentators are forced to take and see withal The instruments that feel" as referring to Antigonus-that he (Antigonus) sees the fingers pulling his beard, &c.; whereas the meaning is that, while Antigonus works himself into a frenzy

structive power of law law builds up and
strengthens nations, law builds up and
edifies individuals. But law does not merely
construct; it has a larger power still; the
world is upheld, regulated, governed by
law. It would hardly be too much to say
that law has universal sway; it wields every-
thing. By a minute change, by supposing
that b has been miswritten for w, all-
building melts into all-wielding; thus would
law be presented to us in all the fullness
of its power, and such a sweeping generaliza-
tion, conveyed by a single epithet, would
be quite in the manner and spirit of Shake-
speare.
