_Ridley's University._--The author of _The Bible in many Tongues_ (a little

work on the history of the Bible and its translations, lately published by

the Religious Tract Society, and calculated to be useful), informs us that

Ridley "tells us incidentally," in his farewell letter, that he learned

nearly the whole of St. Paul's Epistles "in the course of his solitary

walks at Oxford." What Ridley tells us directly in his "Farewell" to

Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, is as follows:

"In my orchard (the walls, butts, and trees, if they could speak, would

bear me witness) I learned without book almost all Paul's Epistles;

yea, and I ween all the canonical epistles, save only the Apocalypse."
