Minor Notes.
_Unacknowledged Quotations from the Scriptures._--As a compensation for
the passages which are often held to be in the Bible, but are not there,
it sometimes happens that others are taken from thence, and given to
profane authors. Among these is "Multi pertransibunt, et augebitur
scientia," which, Daniel xii. 4. notwithstanding, is the motto of the
first edition of Montucla's _History of Mathematics_, followed by
"--_Bacon._" I have also seen it given to Bacon elsewhere.
