s. iv. JULY s. iocs.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 25 Tuesday* and Fridays for Women, and the other Days for Men. From the King's-Bagnio, March 2T>, 1686. Sir William Jennens, K', {Sworn Servant to His Majesty for the Baijnio. I have called this the Duke's, and not the King's Bagnio because the former was its original designation, as is proved by a silver admission ticket, likewise of extreme rarity, also in my possession. It is that mentioned on p. 538 of vol. i. of ' Medallic Illustrations ' (London, 1885), and is thus described :— " View of an oval vapour bath supported upon columns, a person undergoing the shampooing pro- cess. Leg. THE DVKKS BAGNIO IN LONG ACKE: TVE8- DAY . FRYDAY . WOMEN. Rev. J. D. Y. [James, Duke of York] in cypher, crowned, upon brass let into the centre of a silver medal; around, the Garter. Size 1-1." The representation of the building on the ticket exactly corresponds in all important particulars to that in the engraving. It is thus quite clear that the Bagnio was erected for James, Duke of York, and that its name was changed to " The King's Bagnio " on his accession. The 'Medallic Illustrations ' gives a conjectural date of 1667 for the ticket, which I should think too early. Cunning- ham says the Bagnio was built about 1676, and rebuilt and enlarged in 1694. Lord Mohun left this Bagnio in a hackney coach to fight his famous duel in Hyde Park with the Duke of Hamilton. The Bagnio in Newgate Street was first opened in 1679. I should be much obliged by other refer- ences to the history of the building which forms the subject of the present note. J. ELIOT HODGKIN. BURTON'S 'ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY.' (See 9th S. xi. 181, 222, 263, 322. 441; xii. 2, 62,162, 301, 362, 442; 10"> S. i. 42, 163, 203, 282; ii. 124, 223,442; hi. 203.) Vol. I. (Shilleto), p. 5; sig. (§ 3) recto (ed. 6), 'Democritus Junior ad Librum suum.' For points of connexion in these lines with Palin- genius and Ovid, see 9th S. xii. 362. In two places Burton has borrowed from Gerbelius (" that good old man," as he calls him else- where, ii. 104 ; 281, II. ii. iv.). See the twenty elegiac lines headed 'Nicolaus Gerbelius Grsecise suse Vale,' and opening " Viue, uale foelix mea Grsecia," printed on the title-page of G.'s 'Pro Declaratione Picturte siue Descrip- tionis Grsecise Sophiani, Libri Septem.' L. 3 begins in precisely the same way as Burton's 5 (" I blandas inter Charites "), while " Da veniam Authori, dices " in B.'s 35 is very near to"D. u. A. dicas"(l. 7 in G.). With Burton's " te reverenter habeto " (15) com pare "Hos reverenter adi" (Paling, xu. 570). The combination of reverenter and habere is probably due to Ausonius's |lor- tunam reverenter habe " (epigr. ii. 7, Peiper ; vulg viii. 7), which is quoted more than once in the ' Anatomy ' (vol. i. 439 ; 178, 1. ii. v. v., ' f. r. h., if fortunate and rich," and vol. u. 236 ; 360, II. iii. vii.). Of. Johnson's remark (Boswell, 10 April, 1778), "No, sir, Garnck fortunam reverenter habet." P. 11, 1. 26 ; 1, 1. 27, "Copernicus." Cf. ii. 60; 253, II. ii. iii.: "Howsoever, it [the earth's motion] is revived since by Coper- nicus, not as a truth, but a supposition, as he confesseth himself in the Preface to Pope Nicholas." See sign. (#**) 3 in the 1617 ed. of C.'s 'Astronomia Instaurata, Libris sex comprehensa, qui de Revolutionibus Orpjum Coelestium inscribuntur,' &c., about three- fourths through his Prsefatio, which is addressed to Pope Paul III. (Alexander Farnese, 1534-49). See also lib. i. cap. v. and cap. xi. of the same work. " Pope Nicholas is a curious error. C.'s preface is entitled 'ed 1617) 'Ad Sanctissimum Dominum Paulum III. Pontificem Maximum, Nicolai Copernici Pnefatio,' &c. The 1C17 ed. was edited and annotated by Nicolaus Mulenus, while the author's preface was preceded by an epistle from Nicolaus Schonbergius Car- dinalis Capuanus to Nicolaus Copernicus. JNO wonder that Nicholas supplanted Paul ! " Brunus." See, e.</., ' De Innumerabilibus, Immense, & Infigurabili, seu De Uniuerso & Mundis,' lib. i. cap. 4, cap. 11, 1. 51, "Mundp- rum innumeri numeri quos margme nulla im- | mane capit spacium " ; lib. vi. cap. 1, &c. Presumably Burton had heard of Bruno s disputations on the Copernican system during his visits to Oxford a few years before his own matriculation. P. 13, n. 1 ; 2, n. q, " Sabellicus exempl. lib. 10." The title of S.'s book is ' Marci Antonii Coccii Sabellici Exeraplorum Libri Decem.' Shilleto's ed., by inserting a comma before " lib.," gives the erroneous impression that Burton is referring to book 10. The passage is in lib. ii. cap. 1 (' De Contemptu Divitiarum ') :— " Democritus, qui non modo ccetera aspernatuttv sed luminibus etiam se privavit, ut intentius omnia eontemplaretur, dignus sane qui plus unua vident, quam universa Griecia." In the next section (' De Anaxagora ') occur the words "sublimi vir ingenio," which Bur- ton here transfers to the account of Demo- Crpi3, 1. 4: 2, 29. " Nihil ...... scripsitJ" Sabell. Ex.
