Diutiska, 111. 211., by Massmann, at p. 168. Otloh mentions in
this prayer the destruction of his monastery of St. Emmeram, which took
place in 1062.
I have advisedly called him Otloh, and not Otlohnus.

NOTES UPON CUNNINGHAM'S HANDBOOK FOR LONDON.
No. 1. "_Gerrard Street, Soho._ * * * At the Turk's Head, in Gerrard
Street, Johnson and Sir Joshua Reynolds founded, in the year 1764, 'The
Literary Club.'"
It would appear from the following extracts in my Common-place Book,
that the _original_ Turk's Head, at which the Literary Club first held
their meetings, was in _Greek_ Street, Soho, not in Gerrard Street:--
"The Literary Club was first held at the Turk's Head in Greek
Street, which tavern was almost half a century since removed to
Gerrard Street, where it continued nearly as long as the house was
kept open."--_European Mag._ Jan. 1803.
"The Turk's Head, in Gerrard Street, Soho, was, more than fifty
years since, removed from a tavern of the same sign the corner of
Greek and Compton Streets. This place was a kind of head-quarters
for the Loyal Association during the rebellion of 1745."--Moser's
_Memorandum Book_, MS. dated 1799.
No. 2. _Storey's Gate, Birdcage Walk, St. James's Park._--I have seen it
stated, but do not recollect where, that "Storey's" was a house of
public entertainment.
