_Prince Modoc._--At p. 57., "ANGLO-CAMBRIAN" refers to the report of the
Proceedings of the British Association at Swansea, in Aug. 1848,
extracted from the _Athenæum_ newspaper. In the course of a discussion
which took place on Prof. Elton's address, it was observed (if I
recollect rightly) by the learned Dr. Latham, that a vocabulary of the
so-called Welsh-Indian dialect has been formed, and that it contains _no
trace_ of any Celtic root.

_St. Barnabas._--About the time of the Reformation, it was strongly
debated whether the festival days of St. Paul and St. Barnabas should be
admitted into the calendar; and, in the 2d Book of K. Edward, the
conversion of St. Paul is put down in _black_, and St. Barnabas is
_omitted altogether_! No wonder, therefore, if, in Suffolk, liberties
were taken with the name of St. Barnabas, and it was transferred to
doggerel rhyme, to be repeated by children.
