ENGELMANNS BIBLIOTHECA SCRIPTORUM CLASSICORUM. (Vol. ii., p. 296.)
The shortest reply to MR. DE MORGAN'S complaint against a foreign bookseller would be, that Engelmann himself printed for any of the purchasers of a large number of his Catalogues the titles to which MR. DE MORGAN objects so much.
Will you allow me to add one or two remarks occasioned by MR. DE MORGAN'S strictures?
1. Engelmann is not, strictly speaking, a bookseller, and his catalogues are not booksellers' catalogues in the sense in which that term is generally received here. He is a publisher and compiler (and an admirable one) of general classified catalogues for the use of the trade and of students, without any reference to his stock, or, in many instances, to the possibility of easily acquiring copies of the books enumerated: and although he might execute an order from his catalogues, getting orders is not the end for which he publishes them.
2. Some foreign houses in London, as well as in other countries, bought a large number of his Catalogues, not as a book but as a _catalogue_, to be supplied to their customers at the bare cost, or, where it appears advisable, to be delivered gratis to purchasers of a certain amount.
3. It appears to me pardonable if, under these circumstances, a notice is inserted on the title, that orders may be directed to the house which has purchased a number, and supplies them without any immediate profit; and I may add that I do {313} not believe any of the houses concerned would object to a notice being taken of such a proceeding in your paper.
4. The error in omitting the words "from 1700" on the title-page, is one to which MR. DE MORGAN'S notice first directed my attention, classics printed before that date not being commonly in demand among foreign booksellers.
5. The practice of compiling catalogues for general use, with the names of the purchasers of any number of copies of the catalogue inserted on the title or wrapper, is very common in Germany.
Hinrichs of Leipsic issues--
1. A Six-monthly Alphabetical Catalogue, with a systematic index;
2. A Quarterly Catalogue, systematically arranged, with an alphabetical index;
Vandenhoeck of Gottigen issues _half-yearly_--
1. A Bibliotheca Medico-Chirurgica et Pharmaceuto-Chemica;
2. A Bibliotheca Theologica, for Protestant theology;
3. A Bibliotheca Classica et Philologica;
4. A Bibliotheca Juridica;
and Engelmann, from time to time, numerous general catalogues;--
all of which are not only supplied to London houses, with English titles, but may be had all over Germany, with the firms of different booksellers inserted as publishers of the catalogue.
Will you make use of the above in any way in which you may think it of advantage to your readers?

CROZIER AND PASTORAL STAFF.
(Vol. ii., p. 248.)
A correspondent inquires what was the difference between a crozier and a pastoral staff. The crozier (_Crocia_, Medi?val Latin), Fr. _Crosse_, Ital. _Rocco Pastorale_, German. _Bischofstab_, is the ornamental staff used by archbishops and legates, and derives its name from the cross which surmounts it. A crozier behind a pall is borne on the primatial arms of Canterbury. The use of the crozier can only be traced back to the 12th century. Cavendish mentions "two great crosses of silver, whereof one of them was for his archbishoprick and the other for his legatry, always before" Cardinal Wolsey. The fact did not escape Master _Roy_, who sings thus:--
"Before him rydeth two Prestes stronge, And they beare two Crosses right longe, Gapinge in every man's face."
Hall says that he removed from Whitehall "with one cross." In the Eastern Church patriarchs only have a crozier; a patriarch has two transverse bars upon his crozier, the Pope carries three.
The pastoral staff was the ensign of bishops. Honorius describes it as in the form of a shepherd's crook, made of wood or bone, united by a ball of gold or crystal, the lower part of the staff being pointed.
"In Evangelio Dominus Apostolis pr?cepit, ut in pr?dcatione nihil pr?ter virgam tollerent. Et qui�� Episcopi pastores gregis Dominici sunt, ide�� baculum in custodia pr?ferunt: per baculum, quo infirmi sustentatur, auctoritas doctrin? designatur; per virgam, qu�� improbi emendantur, potestas regiminis figuratur. Baculum erg�� Pontifices portant, ut infirmos in Fide per doctrinam erigant. Virgam bajulant, ut per potestatem inquietos corrigant: qu? virga vel baculus est recurvus, ut aberrantes �� grege docendo ad poenitetiam trabat; in extremo est acutus, ut rebelles excommunicando retrudat; h?reticos, velut lupos, ab ovili Christi potestativ�� exterreat."--_In Gemma Anim?_, lib. i. cap. 218, 219., apud Hitterpium.
In its primitive form it appears to have been a staff shaped like a T, and used to lean upon. It was gradually lengthened, and in some cases was finished at the top like a mace. The pastoral staff is mentioned
