[Dr. Ogilvie, in his _Imperial Dictionary_, has suggested the
following derivation: "Qy. _sapia_, in the L. _prosapia_; or Heb.
_shabet_, a clan, race, or family, proceeding from a common
progenitor."]
_Essay towards Catholic Communion_ (Vol. v., p. 198.).--_An Essay to
procure Catholic Communion on Catholic Principles_, alluded to by J. Y.,
has just been republished by Darling, Gt. Queen Street. It is taken from
Deacon's _Complete Collection of Devotions_, 1734, and the editors
attribute its authorship to Dr. Brett, on the authority of Peter Hall's
_Fragmenta Liturgica_, vol. i. p. 42.
If J. Y. has not seen the reprint, perhaps this note may assist him in
his inquiry.
