A. A. D.

[We have submitted the above to the REV. WILLIAM DENTON, who expresses

his obligations to A. A. D. for pointing out the error, which seems to

have escaped the notice of all the previous editors of the _Sacra

Privata_. The second edition is now at press, and, if not too late, the

correction will be made. MR. DENTON doubts whether the list after all

is the bishop's; but thinks it was only copied by him from some work.

Can any one point out the source? It is singular that another mistake

of the bishop's should have escaped the notice of all previous editors,

namely, the tendency of the collect for Whit-Sunday being described as

_Humiliation_ instead of _Illumination_.]

_Derivation of "Chemistry."_--Are there any historical reasons for deriving

the word _chemistry_ from _Chemi_, the name of Egypt, as is done by Bunsen

and others?
