THE SECOND FOLIO SHAKESPEARE (9 th S. x. 181). MR. C. A. HERPICH, in his very interest- ing note on the Second Folio Shakespeare, in addition to the seven variations dealt with, mentions an eighth, but he does not give a collation. It is lettered (A) by him, and the title is as follows :
" M r . William | Shakespeares | Comedies, | His- tories, and | Tragedies. | Published according to the true Originall Copies. | The Second Impression. I Portrait | London, | Printed by Tho. Cotes, for Robert Allot, and are to be sold at his shop at the signe | of the Blacke Beare in Pauls Church-yard. 1632."
Possessing a copy with this title-page, perhaps a comparison with the others may prove useful. In addition to the peculiarities mentioned by MR. HERPICH as occurring in all copies, the following must be noted :
Preliminary leaves. The last is Hugh Holland's verses.
Comedies. The printer's marks occur between e and m of the title ' The Tempest.' P. 205 is correctly printed.
Histories. P. 95 is correct. P. 101, mis- printed 69, has the sig. i 3 correctly in common with (a) and (g). P. 88 is correct. P. 164 is misprinted 194, as in (c), (e), and (ft)
Tragedies. Sig. bb 3 is repeated, as in (c), (/), and (g). P. 85 is correct.
In conclusion, p. 276 of the comedies is a blank, not p. 277, as stated by MR. HERPICH. H. C. L. MORRIS, M.D.
SAINTS IN LINDSAY'S 'MONARCHIE' (9 th S. x. 249). St. Duthac, or Duthus the name is spelt in many ways was probably a native of Tain in Ross-shire. He was, at any rate, a saint famous in the district, and is sometimes referred to as Bishop of Ross. The old church of Tain was dedicated to him. King James IV. went on many a pilgrimage to it. On 23 Octo- ber, 1504, the accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland state, " the Kingis Grace made an offering of 14s. in Sanct Duthois Chapel in the Kirkzaird of Tain quhair he [the saint or the king ]] was borne." The Gaelic name of Tain is " Baile Dhuthaich," or Duthac's town. He perhaps died at Armagh, in Ireland, in 1065, as appears from " the ' Annals of Ulster,' thus : " Anno Domini MLXV. Dubtach Albannach prina.Annchara [Anchorite?] Erin et Albain in Ardmacha quievit" [in Christo], though 1253 is usually given as the year of his death. On 12 Septem- ber, 1487, Thomas Hay, Bishop of Ross,
" creavit et erexit capellam almi confessoris
et pontificis Beati Duthaci de Tayne dioces.
Rossen. in Collegiatam Eoclesiam," and
James III. confirmed this erection under his
Great Seal. The festival of St. Duthus is
8 March. There was an altar to him in the
Collegiate Church of St. Giles, Edinburgh.
St. Triduana, or Tredwell, is a more mythical personage. She appears to be first mentioned in the legend of St. Boniface in the Aberdeen Breviary, wherein it is set out that Boniface came from Rome in the eighth century, accompanied by six other bishops, "ac due preclare virgines Abbatisse Cres- centia et Triduana," and a goodly number of presbyters and others, and settled at Resten- net, in Forfarshire. Solicited by a chief, she is said to have cut out both her eyes and sent them to him skewered on a twig. She after- wards came to Restalrig, near Edinburgh, the church of which was dedicated to her, and died there, and even in Lindsay's day (1490-1560) her shrjne seems to have been resorted to for the cure of eye "diseases. Her festival is 8 October.

The edition of Lindsay for the Early Eng- lish Text Society should be consulted. At 1. 2302 of book ii. we find " Sanct Duthow, boird out of ane bloke "; and the side- note says, "St. Duthak." St. Duthak's day is 8 March, and he was Bishop of Ross ; see the notice in Alban Butler's ' Lives of the Saints.' At 1. 2291 of book ii. we find "Sanct Tredwall, als, there may be sene, Quilk on ane prik heth boyth hir eine." It is not said that he "mends their een." Brand's 'Antiquities,' ed. Ellis, ii.'382, says that "Brand, in his description of Orkney, p. 58, speaking of St. Tred well's Loch, says, 'It is held by the people. as medicinal,'" &c. Nicolas gives two days for St. Saviour, viz., 12 January and 24 May. WALTER W. SKEAT.
St. Tredwell, alluded to by F. C. W., is better known as St. Triduana, V. Her day is 8 October. She is a saint of local fame in Scotland, called variously Treddles. Tredwall, Trallew, Trallen, Tradlius, and Trad wall. Her legend, told in the Aberdeen Breviary, is to the effect that she came from the East with St. Regulus about 337, bearing the relics of St. Andrew to Scotland. With her com- panions she settled at Rescoby, in Forfar- shire, where the ruins of a religious house still exist. The tyrant Nectanevus, prince of that country, conceived a violent passion for her, and she fled to Dunfallandy in Athol. On her retreat being discovered she answered
