Another tract in the same volume is "Exodus, &c., a Sermon Preach't Sept. 12, 1675. By occasion of the much lamented Death of that Learned and Reverend Minister of Christ, Dr. Lazarus Seaman."--By William Jenkyn. After Dr. Seaman's name Baker adds, "some time Master of Peter House." Of Jenkyn he says: "Gul. Jenkin Coll. Jo. admissus in Matriculam Academiæ (designatus Joannensis), Jul. 3, an. 1628."

_Power of Prophecy._--MR. AUG. GUEST (Vol. ii., p. 116.) will perhaps accept--as a small tribute to his interesting communication on the subject of that "power of prophecy" which I apprehend to be still believed by many to exist during certain lucid intervals before death--a reference to Sir Henry Halford's _Essay on the [Greek: Kausos] of Aretæus_. (See Sir H. Halford's _Essays and Orations read and delivered at the Royal College of Physicians_, Lond. 1831, pp. 93. et seq.)
_Bay Leaves at Funerals._--In some parts of Wales it is customary for funerals to be preceded by a female carrying bays, the leaves of which she sprinkles at intervals in the road which the corpse will traverse.
