ARCHBISHOP TENISON'S DISCOVERy
OF AN ETHIOPIC MS. OF ST. JOHN'S GOSPEL—AS our
readers are aware, this library has recently claimed a large
share of public attention; and its importance at the West-
end of London is now more appreciated by those for whom
it was designed and literary men, who now can obtain ready
access to its stores, and enjoy greater facilities for study than
formerly. Amongst the rewards of the present curator's
exertions, the discovery of the LIS. version of St. John's
Gospel, mentioned above, is not the least. Till recently its
existence was unknown, and Mr. Hale's first care was to
have it put in order, so far as its decayed condition allowed.
This has been very skilfully done by Mr. Gough, of the Bri-
tish Museum. It is probably of the twelfth or thirteenth
century, and it is said to vary from the received version. It
is a small volume, about six inches by five. At present its
history is not known. We are glad to hear that several
donations in money and books have recently been received.
Amongst the benefactors we noticed Miss Burdett Coutts,
the Bishop of London, the Provost and Fellows of Trinity
College, Dublin, the Record Commissioners, and several of
the London publishers. We are very glad to be able to give
so satisfactory a report of an institution in which, for its ob-
ect's sake, we confess ourselves to be much interested.
PRIDE OF ANCESTRY.—In the castles and palaces
of the ancient ex-nobility of France, the tapestry frequently
presents memorials of their pride of ancestry. On the
tapestry of an apartment in the palace of the ex-Duke of
Choiseul, is a representation of the Deluge, in which a man
is seen running after Noah, and calling out, "My good
friend, save the archives of the Choiseul family."
