A. D. F.R.S.

[Over the door of his _sanctum_ Aldus placed the following

inscription:

"Whoever you are, ALDUS earnestly entreats you to dispatch your

business as soon as possible, and then depart; unless you come

hither, like another Hercules, to lend him some friendly

assistance; for here will be work sufficient to employ you, and as

many as enter this place."

This inscription was afterwards adopted, for a similar purpose, by

the learned Oporinus, a printer of Basil.]

"_The last links are broken._"--Who is the author of "The last links are

broken?" If they are by Moore, in what part of his works are they to be

found?
