_Epigram on MacAdam._--Who was the author of the following epigram?
"My Essay on Roads, quoth MacAdam, lies there,
The result of a life's lucubration;
But does not the title page look rather bare?

"A Delphin edition of Virgil stood nigh,
To second his classic desire;
When the road-maker hit on the shepherd's reply,
'_Miror Magis_,' I rather _add_-mire."
[Old English W. N.]
_Jane Scrimshaw._--Can any of your numerous correspondents inform me if
there is any other biographical notice of Jane Scrimshaw, who attained the
advanced age of 127, and resided for upwards of eighty years in the
Merchant Taylors' Almshouse, near Little Tower Hill, than that recorded in
Caulfield's _Memoirs of Remarkable Characters_?
