_Dutch Language_.--"E. VEE" will be indebted to "ROTTERODAMUS," or any
other correspondent, who can point out to him the best _modern_ books

Grammar and Dictionary.
_Horns_.--1. Why is Moses represented in statues with horns? The idea
is not, I think, taken from the Bible.
2. What is the reason for assigning horns to a river, as in the
"Tauriformis Aufidus."
3. What is the origin of the expression "to give a man horns," for
grossly dishonouring him? It is met with in late Greek.
