NOTES.

(a) P. 440. — ' Keep your book to yourself.' Thomas Brooks in his ' Epistle Dedi- catory ' to his 'Apples of Gold,' thus introduces the anecdote. 'I hope none of you, into whose hands it may fall, will say as once Antipater, King of Macedonia, did, when one presented him with a book teaching of happiness. His answer was (ou scholazo), oO cyj)Xa.Z,o), 'I have no leisure.'

(b) P. 448. — ' Cicero prefers the name of convivium.' The allusion is to Cicero de Sen, 13 _^7i, which may be here quoted: — 'Bene raajores nostri accubitionem epularem amiconim, quia vits conjunctionem haberet, convivium nominarunt, melius quam Graeci, qui hoc idem turn compotationem, tum conccenationem, vocant.'

(c) P. 449. — ' The Jews wondered at the manna, saying, What thing is this ? ' ' Manna,' meaning ' What's this?' itself expresses and records their wonder.

{d) P. 477. — ' That is not to be feared,' saith Tertullian, ' that frees us from ail that is to be feared.' This is taken from Tertullian de Testimonio animae § iv., Non est timendum, quod nos liberat ab omni timcndo.'
