correct answer. The following quotation from the Summa of St. Thomas Aquinas will resolve it as far as your querist W. is concerned :

"Similiter autem Forma mutaretur, si diceretur Ego baptizo me;' et ideo nullus potest baptizare seipsum propter quod et CHRISTUS a Joanne voluit baptizari."- Summa, 3tia Pars, Quæstio lxvi. Art. v. Arg. 4.

The Rev. A. GATTY, while right in the negative answer which he gives to the question of W., is quite wrong in the reasons on which he founds it. "Christian fellowship" is not of necessity a requisite for administering the sacrament of holy baptism. I quote again from the Summa of St. Thomas:

"Ad primum ergo dicendum, quod Baptismum a schismaticis recipere non licet, nisi in articulo necessitatis: quia melius est de hâc vitâ cum signo CHRISTI exire, a quocumque detur, etiam si sit Judæus vel Paganus, quam sine hoc signo, quod per Baptismum confertur."- Summa, 2nda Pars, Quæstio xxxix. Art. iv. Arg. 1.

As our own Church apparently only recognises sacerdotal baptism in her formularies, in answering such a question as that of W. we must have recourse to the schoolmen and casuists of earlier times. W. FRASER.

We have this week been compelled to omit our usual NOTES ON Books, &c.

W. W. (Malta) is thanked for his suggestion. We fear, however, that the difficulties in the way of carrying it out, which are far more than he suspects, will still prevent our doing so, as we have often desired.

PETER THE SAXONIAN is referred to our 1st Vol., p. 102., where he will find that both Blair and Campbell were anticipated by Norris of Bemerton, who sang of

R. G. L. The meaning and derivation of DITTO are obvious. It means "the same," from the Italian ditto, the said. TOUCHSTONE. Music is sometimes engraved, sometimes printed from moveable types.

J C., who inquires whether Shelley first imagined the name Mab, has, we fear, never read Shakspeare's Romeo and Juliet, or Mercutio's account of" the Fairie's midwife." We almost envy him.

F. R. S. (Barkisland). His Query shall appear, and we think we may promise him a full and satisfactory reply.

H. C. K. and other Correspondents respecting the inscription at Dewsbury, are thanked.

A. B. The line

"And coming events cast their shadows before,"

Thus, a person of age 30 may secure 10007. at death for a yearly Premium of 201. 15s. only, which, if paid to any of the other Mutual Offices, would secure a Policy for 8007. only, instead of 10007.

The Profits are wholly divisible among the Assured. Bonus Additions have been made to Policies, varying from 20 to 54 per Cent. on heir amount.

Policies are issued free of Stamp Duty. Premiums may be deducted in the returns for Income Tax. No Entry Money.
