anslated Montaigne's Essays and wrote a French and English Dictionary called a _World of Words_. One of the few autographs of Shakespeare is in a copy of Florio's Montaigne in the British Museum. [Asterism] Florio is said to have been the prototype of Shakespeare's "Holofern[^e]s," in _Love's Labour's Lost_. =Resolute Doctor= (_The_), John Baconthorpe (*-1346). [Asterism] Guillaume Durandus de St. Pour[c,]ain was called "the Most Resolute Doctor[TN-123] (1267-1332). =Restless= (_Sir John_), the suspicious husband of a suspicious wife. _Lady Restless_, wife of Sir John. As she has a fixed idea that her husband is inconstant, she is always asking the servants, "Where is Sir John?" "Is Sir John returned?" "Which way did Sir John go?" "Has Sir John received any letters?" "Who has called?" etc.; and, whatever the answer, it is to her a confirmation of her surmises.--A. Murphy, _All in the Wrong_ (1761). =Reuben Dixon=, a village schoolmaster of "ragged lads." 'Mid noise, and dirt, and stench, and play, and prate, He calmly cuts the pen or views the slate. Crabbe, _Borough_, xxiv. (1810). =Reuben and Seth=, servants of Nathan ben Israel, the Jew at Ashby, a friend of Isaac and Rebecca.--Sir W. Scott, _Ivanhoe_ (time, Richard I.). =Reullu'ra= (_i.e. "beautiful star"_), the wife of Aodh, one of the Culdees, or primitive clergy of Scotland, who preached the gospel of God in Io'na, an island south of Staffa. Here Ulvfa'gre, the Dane, landed, and, having put all who opposed him to death, seized Aodh, bound him in iron, carried him to the church, and demanded where the treasures were concealed. Just then appeared a mysterious figure all in white, who first unbound Aodh, and then taking the Dane by the arm, led him up to the statue of St. Columb, which immediately fell and crushed him to death. Then turning to the Norsemen, the same mysterious figure told them to "go back and take the bones of their chief with them;" adding, whoever lifted hand in the island again, should be a paralytic for life. "The[TN-124] "saint" then transported the remnant of the islanders to Ireland; but when search was made for Reullura, her body was in the sea, and her soul in heaven.--Campbell, _Reullura_. =Reutha'mir=, the principal man of Balclutha, a town belonging to the Britons on the river Clyde. His daughter, Moina, married Clessammor (Fingal's uncle on the mother's side). Reuthamir was killed by Comba
