On sinking the cellars for a large house at the upper part of Church-street in this town, now building by Daniel Wilson, esq. on the site of which stood some very old houses (formerly called the Judge's lodgings), was discovered, at about six feet below the present surface of the street, a supposed Roman burying-place; as burnt wood, bones, and ashes, broken paterae, urns, Roman brick, gutter tiles, coins, horns of animals, &c. were found; also, two fragments of thick walls, at about five yards distant from each other, in a direction from front to back, and seeming to continue under Church-street, be-twixt which were several large stones, some of which were hewn. By this it may be conjectured, to have been a vault to deposit the ashes of the dead, and fallen-in, or pulled down, at some time, as there were found, within the walls, several pieces of urns, an earthen sepulchral lamp entire (the end of the spout where the wick came out was burnt black), broken paterae, burnt bones, ashes, a large human skull, Roman coins, &c. also, at the North-end a well, filled with hewn stones, but not meddled with.

Bishop Chromatius (in office from 388 to 407), whose episcopal see was a cosmopolitan trade-center at the north end of the Adriatic Sea with the name of Aquileia, was one of the most prominent bishops in the period. He is acquaint­ed with notable figures such as Ambrosius, Hieronymus, Rufinus, and Ioannes Chrysostomus and forth. Before being created a bishop, he was the secretary of bi­shop Valerianus and in the occasion of Council of Aquileia in 381, he had spoken against Arians. This Council was presided by Ambrosius and with its scale it could almost be considered as an ecumenical one. As shown in some of the Chromatius’ sermons, which are unearthed in the 20th century, he opposed not only to the ideas of Arians but also to the teaching of Fotinus, bishop of Sirmium. Chromatius was a very zealous fighter and he practically succeeded to uproot all heretical ideas in his diocese. The academia usually sees him as an anti-Arian theologian. After the Council of Constantinople (381), the Arian heresy seemed to be abated, but Chromatius said in one of his Tractatus, “Cuius (sc. Arii) discipuli hodieque oues Dei fallere ac decipere conantur per aliquantas ecclesias, sed iamdudum, magistro perfidiae prodito, discipuli latere non possunt”; it is evident that, the followers of Arius could still be found (with the mentioning of “hodie”, i.e. today) in the area of Aquileia, meanwhile one must not neglect the presence of the followers of Fotinus of Sirmium. The first part of my conference paper would be a general presentation of the religious situation in Aquileia at the time where Chromatius served as the local bishop; thus I will proceed with an in-depth reading on several passages of the Aquilerian bishop’s sermons (Sermones and Tractatus), in order to show the impact of the those heresies on his works and to identity his theological arguments against them. Among those teachings, there is the “unconquerable faith (invicta fide)”, which led to the surmounting (suppression) of heresies.

Most of us who have thought at all of mirage have thought of it as a phenomenon belonging essentially to distant parts of the world, such as the great Sahara Desert. Few of us would not be surprised to find it almost a daily spectacle on a familiar road so near our city.You may imagine my surprise when, in the early days of April of this year, while walking westward along the Queensferry Road, and when opposite the quarry at the north end of Corstorphine Hill near the point at which the Corstorphine Hill road joins the Queensferry Road, I saw on the surface of the road, at a distance of about one and a half the spacing of the telegraph poles (they are about 50 paces apart), what appeared to be pools of clear water reflecting the green grass and foliage very clearly, and further down the road other pools. As I watched, a white horse with a rider went along, and as it passed beyond the “pools” of the mirage water (the road being perfectly dry) it was reflected, with the effect that the horse appeared to be about twice its height, as if on stilts.

Chromatius served as bishop of Aquileia, a large trade-centered city at the north end of the Adriatic Sea, from 388–407. He interacted with notables like Rufinus, Jerome, Ambrose, and John Chrysostom, but our knowledge of Chromatius was limited to second-hand statements until the rediscovery of his sermons in the last century. When one examines the sermons in their original context, a disconnect on the issue of heresy emerges. Based on a survey of Christianities in northern Italy, it seems that the variety we might expect is lacking in the sources. An examination of the region reveals that the area during this time was remarkably homogenous in terms of the diversity among its Christian adherents. In Aquileia, Chromatius would have been unchallenged by other churches. In light of that, what did his continued tirades against non-existent “heretical” groups achieve? By examining the whole of each sermon mentioning heretics a pattern emerges surrounding the history of heresy and orthodoxy. The maintenance of institutional memory was not done sentimentally, but to advance the domination Christians had achieved into new arenas, namely, for Chromatius, control over an urban religious space which included Judaism.

When the first year of hourly observations of the declination, January 1 to December 31st, 1841, was received at Woolwich from the Magnetic Observatory at Hobarton, and when means had been taken of the readings of the collimator-scale at the several hours in each month, and these monthly means had been collected into an­nual means, it was found that the mean daily motion of the declina­tion magnet at Hobarton presented, as one of its most conspicuous and well-marked features, a double progression in the twenty-four hours, moving twice from west to east, and twice from east to west; the phases of this diurnal variation were, that the north end of the magnet moved progressively from west to east in the hours of the forenoon, and from east to west in the hours of the afternoon ; and again from west to east during the early hours of the night, return­ing from east to west during the later hours of the night: the two easterly extremes were attained at nearly homonymous hours of the day and night, as were also the two westerly extremes; the ampli­tudes of the arcs traversed during the hours of the day were con­siderably greater than those traversed during the hours of the night. When, in like manner, the first year of hourly observations, July 1st, 1842, to June 30th, 1843, was received from the Toronto Ob­servatory, and the mean diurnal march of the declination magnet was examined, it was found to exhibit phenomena in striking corre­spondence with those at Hobarton. At Toronto also a double pro­gression presented itself, of which the easterly extremes were attained at nearly homonymous hours, as were also the westerly; whilst the hours of extreme elongation were nearly the same (solar) hours at the two stations, but with this distinction, that the hours at which the north end of the magnet reached its extreme easterly elongation at Hobarton were the same, or nearly the same, as those at which it reached its extreme westerly elongation at Toronto, and vice verâ Pursuing, therefore, the ordinary mode of designating the direction of the declination by the north end of the magnet in the southern as well as in the northern hemisphere, the diurnal motion of the magnet may be said to be in opposite directions at Hobarton and Toronto; but if (in correspondence with our mode of speaking in regard to another magnetic element, the Inclination) the south end of the magnet is employed to designate the direction of the motion in the southern hemisphere, and the north end in the northern hemisphere, the apparent contrariety disappears, and the directions, as well as the times of the turning hours, are approximately the same at both stations.
