_Sanderson and Taylor_ (Vol. iv., p. 293.).--In No. 103 of "NOTES AND

QUERIES," under the head of "_Sanderson and Taylor_," a question is put

by W. W. as to the common source of the sentence, "Conscience is the

brightness and splendour of the eternal light, a spotless mirror of the

Divine majesty, and the image of the goodness of God." Without at all

saying that it is the common source, I would beg to refer W. W. to "The

Wisdom of Solomon," c. vii. v. 26., where "wisdom" is described as

"the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the

power of God, and the image of His goodness." The coincidence is

curious, though the Latin expressions are dissimilar, the verse in "The

Wisdom of Solomon" being as follows: "Nam splendor est a luce aeterna et

speculum efficacitatis Dei expers maculae, ac imago bonitatis ejus."

_Island of AEgina and the Temple of Jupiter Panhellinius_ (Vol. iv., p.

255.).--In Lempriere's _Classical Dict._, by the Rev. J. A. Giles, 1843,

is the subjoined:--

"The most remarkable remnant of antiquity at the present day is

the temple of 'Jupiter Panhellinius' on a _mount of the same name_

about four hours' distance from the port, supposed to be one of

the most ancient temples in Greece, and the oldest specimen of

Doric architecture; Dodwell pronounces it to be the most

picturesque ruin in Greece."

And in Arrowsmith's _Compendium of Ancient and Modern Geography_, 1839,

p. 414.:

"In the southern part of the island is _Panhellinius Mons_, so

called _from a temple_ of Jupiter Panhellinius, erected on its

summit by AEacus."
