whose names he does not supply,
attended the brave Lord Audley at the memorable battle of Poictiers, who,
some English historians say, were Sir John Delves of Doddington, Sir Thomas
Dutton of Dutton, Sir Robert Fowlehurst of Crewe (all these places being in
Cheshire), and Sir John Hawkstone of Wrinehill in Staffordshire; whilst
others name Sir James de Mackworth of Mackworth in Derbyshire, and Sir
Richard de Tunstall _alias_ Sneyde of Tunstall in Staffordshire, as _two of
such knights or esquires_. The accuracy of Froissart as an historian has
never been questioned; and as he expressly names only _four_ attendants on
Lord Audley at the battle of Poictiers, it is extremely desirable it should
be ascertained if possible which of the six above-named knights really were
the companions of Lord Audley Froissart alludes to; and probably some of
your learned correspondents may be able to clear up the doubts on the point
raised by our historians.

_Roman Catholic Bible Society._--About the year 1812, or 1813, a Roman
Catholic Bible Society was established in London, in which Mr. Charles
Butler, and many other leading gentlemen, took a warm part. How long did it
continue? Why was it dissolved? Did it publish any annual _reports_, or
issue any book or tract, besides an edition of the New Testament in 1815?
Where can the fullest account of it be found?

Will any gentleman be kind enough to _sell_, or even to _lend_, me Blair's
_Correspondence on the Roman Catholic Bible Society_, a pamphlet published
in 1813, which I have not been able to meet with at a bookseller's shop,
and am very desirous to see.

_"Vox Populi Vox Dei."_--Lieber, in the last chapter of his _Civil
Liberty_, treating of this dictum, ascribes its origin to the Middle Ages,
acknowledging, however, that he is unable to give anything very definite.
Sir William Hamilton, in his edition of the _Works_ of Thomas Reid, gives
the concluding words of Hesiod's _Works and Days_ thus:

"The word proclaimed by the concordant voice of mankind fails not; for
in man speaks God."

And to this the great philosopher adds:

"Hence the adage (?), 'Vox Populi vox Dei.'"

The sign of interrogation is Sir William Hamilton's, and he was right to
put it; for whatever the psychological connexion between Hesiod's dictum
and V. P. V. D. may be
