BACON'S ESSAYS, BY MARKBY.

"Hic tantum Boreae curamus frigora, quantum Aut numerum lupus, aut torrentia flumina ripas."

The meaning is, however, doubtless correctly explained by Heyne: "Ut numerato pecori parcat." "Quia solam considerat lupus praedam," says Servius. The sense of the passage is, that after the shepherd has "told his tale," after he has counted his sheep, the wolf does not care how much he deranges the reckoning.

"Sed quia finem aliquam pariendi debet habere, Destitit, ut mulier spatio defessa vetusto."

"Otherwise they may say, 'Multum incola fuit anima mea.'" Whence are these words borrowed?

For the anecdote of Timotheus, see "N. & Q.," Vol. vii., p. 493.

"Coepisti melius quam desinis: ultima primis Cedunt: dissimiles hic vir et ille puer."

"Hic ver assiduum, atque alienis mensibus aestas."

BISHOP BURNET, H. WHARTON, AND SMITH.

EARLY PHILADELPHIA DIRECTORIES.

The first Philadelphia Directories were published in the year 1785, when two appeared: White's and M'Pherson's. The latter is a duodecimo volume of 164 pages, and contains some things worth making a note of.

"'I won't tell you,' 3. Maiden's Lane."

"'I won't tell it,' 15. Sugar Alley."

"'I won't tell you my name,' 160. New Market Street."

"'I won't have it numbered,' 478. Green Street."

"'I won't tell my name,' 185. St. John's Street."

"'I shall not give you my name,' 43. Stamper's Alley."

"'What you please,' 49. Market Street."

"For Cross Woman read Cross Widow."

"For Cox Cats read Cox Cato."

appears the following:

These were Louis Philippe and one of his brothers, who lived at the north-west corner of Fourth and Princes Streets, in a house still standing, and now numbered 110.

Talleyrand and Volney lived for some time in Philadelphia; but, not being house-keepers, their names do not appear in any of the Directories.
