The book Pepys refers to is Nedham's translation, which was entitled, "Of the Dominion or Ownership of the Sea. Translated into English by Marchamont Nedham. London, 1652." This has the Commonwealth arms on the title-page and a dedication "To the Supreme Autoritie of the Nation-The Parliament of the Commonwealth of England." The dedication to Charles I. in Selden's original work was left out.

It is the French vaudevilliste's doctrine of great events from little causes. The slipper of a soubrette trips the heart of a king and changes the destiny of a nation-the history of mankind. It may be true. If I were but shot into the House from a little girl's eye! With this I took her arm gaily, walked with her, and had nearly overreached myself with excess of cunning.

The "Swiss guard" would therefore in that case be some thousands of years older than people suppose. Should the term by which the Romans, perhaps after the example of the Celts, designate the Germans as a nation-the name -Germani -be really of Celtic origin, this obviously accords very well with that hypothesis. From the Celtic words -guerg- = worker and -breth- = judgment.
