page 343 note 3 The assertion on p. 157 that the work is not later than 25 A.D. is an error; there is no conclusive evidence to fix its date if the strong grounds for putting that at about 150 B.C. are not accepted. It may be added that the reliance on the argument from Punch and Judy is very unwise; without expressing any opinion on the origin of that show Professor Ridgeway may be reminded that Guy Fawkes is not the origin of the ceremonies observed on his day.
