[The following epigram, thrown to Burke in court, and torn by him to
shreds, has been always attributed to Mr. Law (Lord Ellenborough), but
erroneously:--
"Oft have we wonder'd that on Irish ground
No poisonous reptile has e'er yet been found;
Reveal'd the secret stands of nature's work,
She saved her venom to create a Burke."
The real author was one Williams, notorious for his _nom de guerre_,
Anthony Pasquin.--Townsend's _History of Twelve Eminent Judges_.]
_Knights Hospitallers._--Where may a correct list be found of the names of
the several persons who held the appointment of Master of the Knights
Hospitallers in England, from the period of their first coming until the
dissolution of their houses?
