curs the following:--

"Semiplenum gaudium est quando quis in praesenti gaudet et tunc
cogitans de futuris dolet; ut in quodam libro Graeco, &c."

"Quidam Rex Graeciae, &c.; here ye may see but half a joy; who
should joy in this world if he remembered him of the pains of
the other world?"

What is the Greek Book, and who is the king of Greece alluded to?

_Selden's Titles of Honour_.--Does any gentleman possess a MS. Index
to Selden's _Titles of Honour_? Such, if printed, would be a boon; for
it is a dreadful book to wade through for what one wants to find.

_Colonel Hyde Seymour_.--In a book dated 1720, is written "Borrow the
Book of Col. Hyde Seymour." I am anxious to know who the said Colonel
was, his birth, &c.?

_Quem Deus vult perdere, &c._--Prescot, in his _History of the
Conquest of Peru_ (vol. ii., p. 404., 8vo. ed.), says, while remarking
on the conduct of Gonzalo Pisaro, that it may be accounted for by "the
insanity," as the Roman, or rather Grecian proverb calls it, "with
which the gods afflict men when they design to ruin them." He quotes
the Greek proverb from a fragment of Euripides, in his note:--

"[Greek: Otan de Daimon andri parsunei kaka
Ton noun eblapse proton.]"

I wish to know whether the Roman proverb, _Quem vult perdere Deus
prius dementat_, is merely a translation of this, or whether it is to
be found in a Latin author? If the latter, in what author? Is it in
Seneca?

_Southwell's Supplication_.--Can any one inform me where I can see a
copy of _Robert Southwell's Supplication to Queen Elizabeth_, which
was printed, according to Watts, in 1593? or can any one, who has seen
it, inform me what is the style and character of it?

_Gesta Grayorum_.--In Nichol's _Progresses of Queen Elizabeth_, vol.
iii., p. 262., a tract is inserted, entitled "Gesta Grayorum; or,
History of the High and Mighty Prince Henry, Prince of Purpoole, &c.,
who lived and died in A.D. 1594." The original is said to have been
printed in 1688, by Mr. Henry Keepe. Is any copy of it to be had or
seen?

_Snow of Chicksand Priory_.--"A.J.S.P." desires information respecting
the immediate descendants of R. Snow, Esq., to whom the site of {352}
Chicksand Priory, Bedfordshire, was granted, 1539: it was alienated
by his family, about 1600, to Sir John Osborn, Knt., whose descendants
now possess it. In Berry's _Pedigrees of Surrey
