Chapter C: FOX

"_Litera scripta manet_" (Vol. v., pp. 200. 237.).--I was intimate some time since with a gentleman who had been a student in Maynooth College, and who frequently used to quote the words "Litera scripta manet," with the addition, "Verbum imbelle perit." This may give a clue to the source of the phrase, which may be found probably in some ecclesiastical or theological work of days gone by.

_"Qui vult plene," &c._ (Vol. v., p. 228.).--The first passage respecting which W. DN. inquires ("Qui vult plenè," &c.) will be found in the first chapter of the first book of Thomas à Kempis, _De Imitatione Christi_.
