Hill, was the
very anecdote to which he refers; and that Mr. Hill quoted it, not once or
twice, but dozens of times, and circulated it, with Coleridge's name, over
the whole length and breadth of the three kingdoms, by tens of thousands of
printed papers. Mr. Hill has not had a tithe of the honour he deserves--and
never will have--and I cannot remain silent, and see his character
questioned, though in matters too trifling, I think, even to have occupied
a corner in "NOTES AND QUERIES."
C.W.D.
_The Autograph of Titus Oates_ (Vol. ii., p. 464.).--It may be seen in the
Library of St. John's College, Cambridge. It is written at the end of every
chapter in "_A Confession of Faith, put forth by the Elders and Brethren of
many Congregations of Christians (baptized upon profession of Faith) in
London and the Country_." 12mo. Lond. 1688.

_Circulation of the Blood_ (Vol. ii., p. 475.).--The passage in Venerable
Bede referred to by J.MN. may have been in a tract _De Minutione Sanguinis
sive de Phlebotomia_; (which occurs in the folio editions, Basle, vol. i.
p. 472.; Colon., vol. i. p. 898.). In the enumeration of the veins from
which blood may be taken, he says,--
"De brachio tres, _qui per totum corpus reddunt sanguinem_, capitanea
linea, matricia, capsale."
The subject of bleeding is again referred to in _Eccl. Hist._, vol. iii,
but not to the purpose.
