to be written by a Roman Catholic gentleman named Chaloner.
I also wish to know something about the old German sword called the "Flamberg." I have seen it represented as twisted like a column of flame, and should like to know its history, and whether there was any allusion in it to the flaming sword that kept the gate of Paradise.
Mention is made of it by K?rner in his poem, "M?nner und Buben:"
"Stosst mit an Mann f��r Mann Wer den Flamberg schwingen kann."
Can your correspondents tell me, also, whether there is such a phrase, expressive of the place where four roads met, as a "four warnt way," and whence its origin, and how properly spelt?

Oxford Friar's Voyage to the North Pole.--In a book I have, entitled Prospects of the most famous Parts of the World, date 1646, occurs the following:
"Towards the north pole we have gained, more in proportion, as far as Nova Zembla, and the sea is known to be navigable to the 81st degree: whether the rest be land or not it never yet appeared to any (as I heare of) but an Oxford Friar by a Magique voyage. He reports of a Black Rock just under the pole, and an Isle of Pygmies; other strange miracles, to which, for my part, I shall give little credit till I have better proof for it than the Devil's word."
Query, Who was the friar? and where is the account of his voyage to be found?

Roman Catholic Church.--The Rev. J. M. Neale has just published an appendix to his Introduction to the History of the Holy Eastern Church, containing a list of all the sees in that communion, with the names of the present possessors. Can any of your correspondents inform me where I can meet with a similar notitia of the sees in the Roman Catholic Church?

Cor Lingu?.--May I ask who is the author of the following epigram, quoted by Coke on the trial of Garnet?
"Cor lingu? foederat natur? sanctio, Veluti in quodam certo connubio; Ergo cum dissonent cor et locutio, Sermo concipitur in adulterio."

Bishop Hooper's Godly Confession, &c.--Being engaged in editing Bishop Hooper's works, and finding myself impeded by want of the original edition of his Godly Confession and Protestation of the Christian Faith, printed at London by John Day, 1550, I am induced to seek your assistance, and to ask whether you can inform me where a copy of the above work may be found?

Browne's Hospital, Stamford.
Extradition, Ignore, Diamagnetism.--In pursuance of my note to you regarding the definition of words in science and literature which may have sprung up of late years, will you allow me to quote, as instances in the latter department, the two words "extradition" and "ignore?"
1. Is the following a correct definition of "extradition," viz., "the surrender by a state, of a political refugee, at the request of a foreign power?"
2. Is the etymology of the word made up of "extra" and "ditio" put for "deditio," a giving up or surrendering?
Does "ignore" mean to "treat as non-existent;" and are there no other words in the language which express exactly the meaning conveyed by these two?
In science, I would ask, is "diamagnetism" correctly explained by terming it "the property of any substance whereby it turns itself, when freely suspended, at right angles to the magnetic meridian."
P. S.
Cinquante Lettres d'Exhortation.--Can any of your readers inform me who is the author of the following work?--
"Cinquante lettres d'exhortation et de consolation sur les souffrances de ces derniers tems, et sur quelques autres sujets; ��crites �� diverses personnes par Mons. D. V. B. pendant ses exils et ses prisons, en France; et depuis que par ordre du Roi, il s'est retir�� en Hollande. La Haye, 1704, 8vo."
The copy which I have seen is lettered on the back "Beringke-Lettres;" but I can find no account of any person of that name at all likely to have written the letters, nor any authority for ascribing their authorship to a person of that name.
TYRO.

Old Tract on the Eucharist.--Can any of your readers tell me the name of the author of the following tract?--
"A Full View of the Doctrines and Practices of the Ancient Church, relating to the Eucharist. Lond. 1688."
Wishing to procure a copy, I have asked several booksellers, but without success. It has been most strongly recommended by a writer of the present day.
