[Most etymologists derive it from _Jackey_, a diminutive of the Scotch
term _Jock_, or _Jack_, John: primarily, a boy that rides horses.]
_Boyle Lectures._--In that valuable and well-executed work, now publishing
by Darling of Great Queen Street, called the _Cyclopædia Bibliographica_, a
list of the preachers of the Boyle Lecture is given. The list is very
nearly complete, the preachers during the following years only being marked
"Unknown:"--1729, 1733-5, 1746, 1753-5, 1764-5. With these few omissions,
the names of preachers from 1692 to 1807 are given without exception. Will
some of your correspondents kindly supply the hiatus above referred to?
Possibly the lectures for those years were not printed, as was the case
very frequently (see columns 405. 406. _Cyc. Bibl._)--so there may be some
slight difficulty in identifying the preachers.
