_Lines attributed to Charles Yorke_ (Vol. ii., p. 7.).--The editor of
Bishop Warburton's _Literary Remains_ is informed, that the lines
transcribed by him, "Stript to the naked soul," &c., have been printed
lately in a work entitled _The Sussex Garland_, published by James Taylor,
formerly an eminent bookseller at Brighton, but now removed to Newick,
Sussex. The lines appear to have been written on Mrs. Grace Butler, who
died at Rowdel, in Sussex, in the 86th year of her age, by Alexander Pope,
but, according to Taylor, not inserted in any edition of Pope's works. The
lines will be found in the 9th and 10th Nos. of _The Sussex Garland_, p.
285., under "Warminghurst."

_Rodolph Gualter_ (Vol. iii., p. 8.).--
"Rodolph Gualter naquit � Zurich en 1519, et y mourut en 1586. Il fit
ses �tudes dans sa ville natale, � Lausanne, � Marbourg, et en
Angleterre. Rodolph, son fils, mort en 1577, avait fait de tr�s bonnes
�tudes � Gen�ve, en Allemagne, et � l'universit� d'Oxford."
The above I have extracted from the account of him given in the _Biographie
Universelle_, which refers as authority to "J.B. Huldrici Gualtherus
redivivus seu de vita et morte Rod. Gualtheri oratio, 1723," in the
Biblioth. Bremens., viii. p. 635. In this memoir I find it stated:
"quod Gualtherus noster un� cum Nicolao Partrigio Anglo in Angliam iter
suscepit. Quatuor illud mensibus et aliquot diebus finitum est,
inciditque in annum seculi trigesimum."
But neither in this, nor in the account of his life by Melchior Adam, nor
in that contained in Rose's _Biographical Dictionary_, can I find any trace
of the opinion that he was a Scotchman; and as Huldricus was himself a
professor in the Athen�um at Zurich, he would probably be correctly
informed on the subject.

_"Annoy" used as a Noun_ (Vol. ii., p. 139.).--Your correspondent CH. will
find three good instances of the use of the word _annoy_ as a noun (in
addition to the lines cited by him from Wordsworth) by Queen Elizabeth,
George Gascoigne, and Mr. Keble:
"The doubt of future woes exiles my present joy,
And wit me warns to shun such snares as threaten mine _annoy_."
See Ellis' _Specimens of Early English Poets_, ii. p. 136.
{44}
"And as they more esteeme that merth
Than dread the night's _annoy_,
So must we deeme our dayes on erth
But hell to heauenly joye."
_Good morrowe_; see Farr's _Select Poetry, &c._, p. 38.
"High heaven, in mercy to your sad _annoy_,
Still greets you with glad tidings of immortal joy."
_Christian year_, "Christmas Day."

Passage in Bishop Butler (Vol. ii., p. 464.).--The "peculiar term" referred
to by Bishop Butler is evidently the verb "to Blackguard." It is for this
reason that he inserts the condition, "when the person it respects is
present." We may abuse, revile, vituperate an absent person; but we can
only "blackguard" a man when he is present. The word "blackguard" is not
recognised by Johnson. Richardson inserts it as a noun, but not as a verb.
