Such is their high courageous love."

I should be grateful for an explanation of the _third_ line.

_David's Mother._--I used to think it was impossible to ascertain from the
Old Testament the name of David's mother. In the _Genealogies recorded in
the Sacred Scriptures_, by J. S. (usually assumed to stand for John Speed,
the historian and geographer), the name of the Psalmist's mother is given
"Nahash." Can this be made out satisfactorily? Will the text 2 Sam. xvii.
25., as compared with 1 Chron. ii. 15., warrant it?

_Emblems._--Can any of your readers inform me what are the emblematic
meanings of the different precious stones, or of any of them? or in what
work I shall find them described?

_"Kaminagadeyathooroosoomokanoogonagira."_--In an appeal to the Privy
Council from Madras, the above unparalleled long word occurs as the
descriptions of an estate. I believe that its extreme length and
unpronounceable appearance is without an equal. Can any of your readers
acquainted with Indian literature translate it? if so, it would greatly
oblige

_"Quid facies," &c._--I have lately met with the following curious play on
words in an old MS. book. Can any of your correspondents give any account
of it?

"Quid facies, facies Veneris si veneris ante?
Ne pereas, per eas; ne sedeas, sed eas!"

_Will of Peter the Great._--M. Lamartiniere, in a French pamphlet on the
Eastern question, gives a document in several articles containing advice
with respect to the policy of his successors on the throne of Russia, in
which he advises her to make great advances in the direction of
Constantinople, India, &c., and advocates the partition of Poland. Upon
what authority does this document rest? and who is M. Lamartiniere?

_H. Neele, Editor of Shakspeare._--In the preface to _Lectures on English
Poetry, being the Remains of the late Henry Neele_ (Lond. 1830), mention is
made of a new edition of Shakspeare's dramatic works, "under the
superintendence of Mr. Neele as editor, for which his enthusiastic
reverence for the poet of 'all time' peculiarly fitted him, but which, from
the want of patronage, terminated after the publication of a very few
numbers." These very few numbers must have appeared about 1824-1827; yet
the answer to my repeated inquiries after them in London is always "We
cannot hear of them." Can any one give me farther
