_The Advice supposed to have been given to Julius III._--The _Consilium_,

sometimes and inadvertently called a _Council_, addressed to Julius III.,

Pope of Rome, by certain prelates, has just been once more quoted, for the

fiftieth time, perhaps, within the present generation, as a genuine

document, and as proceeding from adherents of the Church of Rome. This

re-quotation appears in an otherwise useful little volume of the Religious

Tract Society, entitled _The Bible in many Tongues_, p. 96.; and it may

tend to check the use made of the supposed Advice or Council to state, what

a perusal either of the original in Brown's _Fasciculus Rerum Expetend. et

Fugiend._, or of a translation in Gibson's _Preservative_ (vol. i. pp. 183.

191., ed. 1848), will soon make evident, that the document in question is a

piece of banter, and must be attributed to the pen of P. P. Vergerio, in

whose _Works_ it is in fact included, in the single volume published

Tubing. 1563, fol. 94--104.

So frequently has this supposed Advice been cited as a _serious_ affair,

that the pages of "N. & Q." may be well employed in endeavouring to stop

the somewhat perverse use of a friendly weapon.
