A 'stellarum nominibus tolle singulas litteras princi- pales, de tella anatole a, de stella [dysis 8, de stella arctos a, de stella mesembrion H: in his qpattpor litteris cardinalibus habes nomen a ap. The above is from the fourth chapter of the treatise ‘ De Montibus Sina et Sion,’ in- cluded in the appendix to editions of St. Cyprian, vol. iii. part iii. in the Vienna ‘ Corpus Script. Eccles. Lat.’ Cp. Migne’s ‘ Patrolog. Lat.,’ vol. iv. col. 911-12. In Pnor. SKEAT’8 article the “ four stars ” of the ‘ Dialogue ’ is said to be a mistake for “ four gluarters,” but the Latin just quoted shows at the “ mistake” was earlier. A numerical symbolism also is extracted from Adam’s name in the Spseudo-Cyprianic treatise. Forty-six (a=1, =4,c=1,p=40) is declared to signify the Passion, “ eo quod sexto millesimo anno hora sexta passus, resurgens a mortuis %l1&dl'8»86SllD0 die in caalis ascendxt: uel quia alomon guadraginta sex annls templum Deo fabricaueritf This last is a lapse on the part of the anony- mous author. Solomon’s emple was seven years building. The Temple spoken of in John ii. 19-21 was that begun by Herod the Great, forty-six years before. After reaching the passage in the ‘ De Montibus Sina et Sion ’ by another clue, I find that Thomas Gataker refers to it in his ‘ Dissertatio de Novi Instrumenti Stylo,’ cap. ui., as well as to Augustine, ‘In Psalm. 95 ’ and ‘ In Joan. tract. 9.’ The explanation of _ Adam’s name as compounded of the initial letters of the four quarters of the earth, to denote that man is an epitome of the whole creation and a microcosm, is cited _by Gataker as a fit parallel to the Rabbmic tradition that in Zechariah xiv. 9 (“ In that day shall the Lord be one, and his name one,” R.V.) the final letter (daleth) of the Hebrew word for “ one,” as it stands for the number four, denotes that God must be worslupped in the four quarters of the world. Enwxan BENSLY. Comrnuons or Gsoacs I. (11 S. vii. 268). -Although I am unable to give a list of the King’s suite on his arrival in England in 1714, tiet it may be not uninteresting to note at in it there were no fewer than seven members or connexions of the Schatz family, namely, George, Baron von Schutz, and his two brothers Augustus and Armand John Schutz ; the Marquis and Marquise de la Forét (née Schutz); Count and Countess Bernstoff (née Schutz); Fabricius von Wmterfeld, first cousin of the three brothers and of the first - mentioned Lady, and Armand, Count de Rossillon, their uncle. A__i Of the three brothers, the eldest had in London before as Hanoverian Envoy m 1710-ll. He came again in 1714 with the King, but eventually retumed to Germany, and died there 16 June, 1740. Augustus, the second, remained in Eng- land all the rest of his life, and died here 20 A ril, 1757. He was a Gentleman of the Bedchamber to George I.; Master of the Robes and Keeper o the Privy Purse to George II.; also, at one time, Avener and Clerk Marshal to his Majesty’s Stables. He was, moreover, a friend and confidant of Queen Charlotte. He married Penelope, only daughter of Martin Madan of Nevis (10 S. ix. 509), and by her had thirteen chil- dren. General James Tyrrell, who had been his wife’s guardian in her.youth, and who was when he died (7 Nov., 1742) Governor of Gravesend and Tilbury Fort, left him his estates at Shotover and Mere, near Oxford- a fact which, with others, moved Horace Walpole to write to Mr. Fortescue in 1757: “ Congratulations to ciou and all other heirs of property. Old S utz is dead, and can wriggle himself into no more wills.” Armand John Schutz, the third brother, also lived for the rest of his life in England. He was Master of the Robes and Keeper of the Privy Purse to the Prince of ales, Lord Warden of the Stannaries, and Colonel of the lst Regiment of Foot Guards. He lived at Sion Hill and Clacton,’ co. Essex, and was twice married : first, to Rachel, daughter of Nathaniel Blakiston of London ; and secondly to a Miss Mary Hayes. He died 2 Feb., 1773. I understand that, notwithstanding the large number of their children, the family of Schutz is now extinct (in the male line at all events) in England. ALAN STEWART.
