W. C. TREVELYAN. Wallington. _Sotades_ (Vol. Vii. , p. 417. ). --Sotades is the supposed inventor ofPalindromic verses (see Mr. Sands' _Specimens of Macaronic Poetry_, p. 5. , 1831. His enigma on "Madam" was written by Miss Ritson of Lowestoft). S. Z. Z. S. _The Letter "h" in "humble"_ (Vol. Viii. , p. 54). --The question has beenraised by one of your correspondents (and I have not observed any replythereto), as to whether it is a peculiarity of Londoners to pronounce the_h_ in _humble_. If..., as a Londoner by birth and residence, I might beallowed to answer the Query, I should say that {230} the _h_ is never heardin _humble_, except when the word is pronounced from the pulpit. I believeit to be one of those, either Oxford or Cambridge, or both, peculiarities, of which no reasonable explanation can be given. I should be glad to hear whether any satisfactory general rule has beenlaid down as to when the _h_ should be sounded, and when not. The only rulewhich occurs to me is to pronounce it in all words coming to us from theCeltic "stock, " and to pass it unsounded in those which are of Latinorigin.
