CHIEF AUTHORS QUOTED.

S. EPIPHANIUs was born about 320, in a small village of Palestine, of poor parents, who were Jews. He pursued the monastic life from early youth, and having imitated all the asceticism of the monks of Egypt, he afterwards received many others under his superintendence in a monastery of his own. He was learned in Hebrew, Egyptian, Syriac, Greek, and Latin, and was hence called Пevтáyλwoσos, Pentaglot. About 368 he was chosen Bishop of Constantia, formerly called Salamis, a city in Cyprus. He tended his flock in a manner wellpleasing to God, and kept them unpolluted by any heresy. He died about the year 433, having lived 105 years, or, as some say, 115. He wrote his 'Aykuρwтós, i.e. the Christian secured by an anchor, the Anchorate, to be as it were an anchor or stay to fix unsettled minds in the true faith. But his great work appeared in 374, under the title of Пlaváρiov, Panarium, or store of antidotes against all heresies. The word belongs properly to the Latin language, and means a bread-basket, being formed from "panis," bread, and is the origin of the word "panier" in French and English. The proper Greek word is ἀρτοφόριον.

William Durandus was born at Puymoisson in Provence about the year 1220. His high attainments marked him out for the office of Chaplain to Pope Clement IV. He was afterwards Auditor of the Sacred Palace; and Legate to Pope Gregory X. at the Council of Lyons. He was then made Captain of the Papal forces : in which post he assisted at the reduction of several rebellious cities, and behaved with great He finally became Bishop of Mende, Episcopus Mimatensis, in 1286.

The foregoing particulars are taken from the preface to a Translation of the First Book of the Rationale, by Rev. J. M. Neale and Rev. B. Webb. Leeds, 1843.

LUDOLPHUS DE SAXONIA, Claruit sub Ludovico Imperatore quarto, A.D. 1330. Vita Jesu Christi, ed. Paris, 1878.

This is a beautiful edition in 4 vols. 8vo. In the “Monitum ad Lectores," prefixed to the first volume, are some particulars respecting the author. He was a Saxon by birth, and belonged to the order of Preachers, but after thirty years of that profession, being desirous of a severer discipline, he was transferred to the Carthusian order, and became prior in "Monasterio Argentinensi." He also wrote a commentary on the Psalms, compiled from the writings of S. Jerome, S. Augustine, Cassiodorus, and Peter Lombard, adding at the end of each Psalm a suitable prayer, as he also does at the end of each chapter of the Vita Christi.

PETER KING, Lord Chancellor of England, an able and upright judge, nephew of John Locke the philosopher, was born in 1669. Whilst serving his apprenticeship to his father, a grocer at Exeter, he secretly acquired the Greek and Latin languages by self-tuition, and so great was his proficiency that his uncle sent him to Leyden University. After leaving Leyden he entered the Middle Temple, and attained high forensic eminence. In 1705 he became a mem

ber of Parliament, and was made Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in 1715, and raised to the Chancellorship in 1725. But he was no less remarkable for his ecclesiastical learning than for his legal attainments, for besides a variety of controversial works of great ability, he wrote a "History of the Apostles' Creed," and "An Inquiry into the Constitution, &c., of the Primitive Church," which excited great interest, and may still be consulted with advantage. Died 1743.
