_"Carmen Perpetuum," &c._--Upon the title-page of a Bible which I have
had some years in my possession, I have just discovered, in my own
handwriting, the following very beautiful and apposite quotation:--
"Carmen perpetuum primaque ab origine mundi ad tempora nostra."
I have lost all remembrance of the source from which I borrowed this
happy thought, so happily expressed; and shall feel much obliged to any
one whose better memory can direct me to the mine from which I formerly
dug the gem.
