_Latin Hexameters on the Bible._--The verses given under this title by LORD
BRAYBROOKE, in Vol. v., p. 414., remind me of a similar method which I
adopted, when at school, in order to impress upon my memory the names of
the Jewish months. The lines run thus:--
"Nisan Abib, Iyar Zif, Sivan, Thammuz, Ab, Elul;
Tisri, Marchesvan, Chisleu, Thebeth, Sebat, Adar."
The first verse commences with the first month of the ecclesiastical year,
the second with the first month of the civil year.
