on whose judgment we place great reliance, is of the opinion that the
cutting on_ E. N. W.'s _ring is modern. Could not_ E. N. W. _exhibit it at
the Society of Antiquaries? Mr. Akerman, the resident Secretary would take
charge of it for that purpose._

LAMMER BEADS. _Justice to_ MR. BLOWEN _requires that we should explain that
his article in_ No. 68. _was accidentally inserted after he had expressed
his wish to withdraw it, in consequence of_ MR. WAY'S _most satisfactory
paper in_ No. 67.

E. M. "God tempers the wind," &c. _Much curious illustration of this
proverb, of which the French version occurs in Gruter's_ Florilegium,
_printed in 1611, will be found in_ "NOTES AND QUERIES," Vol. I., pp. 211.
236. 325. 357. 418.

E. M. "Vox Populi Vox Dei" _were the words chosen by Archbishop Mepham for
his Sermon, when Edw. III. was called to the throne. See_ "NOTES AND
QUERIES," Vol. I., pp. 370. 419. 492. _for further illustrations_. {255}

S. WMSN. _The proposed short and true account of Zacharie Boyd would be
acceptable._

H. N. E. _Lord Rochester wrote a poem of seventeen stanzas upon_ NOTHING.
_The Latin poem on the same subject, to which_ H. N. E. _refers, is
probably that by Passerat, inserted by Dr. Johnson in his_ Life of
Rochester.
