[Footnote 1: [It will be remembered that Pepys accompanied the Duke of York
on this excursion to Scotland, and was fortunately on board his own yacht
when the "Gloucester" was wrecked. His graphic account of the disaster will
be found in the Correspondence at the end of his _Diary_.--ED.]]
_"Poscimus in vitâ," &c._ (Vol. ix., p. 19.).--Allow me to correct a
_double_ error in this line into which MR. POTTER has fallen, though he has
improved upon the line of BALLIOLENSIS. The true reading of it is--
"Poscimus in _vitam_ pauca, nec _ista_ diu."
_In vitam_ (for life) is better Latin than "in vitâ;" and _ista_ is more
appropriate than "illa," in reference to things spoken unfavourably of.
