servitors of the college were subjected to it; I can- not think, however, so late as 1766. Some resident member of Queen's College will, I trust, enlighten Mr. Mewburn on the subject. I. R. R.

Pope Pius and Book of Common Prayer (1st. xi. 401. 510.; xii. 458. 474.) I certainly relied on Coke's own assertion as quoted by, and I still think that the words bear me out in my conclusion. In this opinion, I am supported by the writers in the Biographia Britannica. I regard the story as so improbable, that I cannot but view Coke's words as involving its rejection, and the repudiation of all the statements in the charge. The fiction, in my opinion, is so manifest, that I can never believe that it was received by Coke.

I was quite aware of what had been advanced by Courayer, whose statements I had fully considered. I wish to refer Mr. Harington to Constable's reply to Courayer on this particular point. After that reply, I cannot depend on Courayer in his relation of a story about the Pope.

My opinion has ever been, that the story was an invention by the missionary priests to promote their own ends. There is indeed another supposition. Thus Durell affirms, that the story was a Puritan invention, for the purpose of inducing the belief among the people that the Book of Common Prayer must be Popish. Fuller, who was generally prepared to give credit to reports, certainly rejected this story. T. L.

Conversations with Wordsworth, &c. (1 S. xii. 346. 413. 518.)—The title of the book which Mr. Ingleby wishes to obtain is Pen and Ink Sketches of Poets, Preachers, and Politicians, published by W. Bogue, 1846. The anecdote of Wordsworth is given in p. 128. Bear Wood.

Political Poems (1st S. xii. 360.)—On reading over this poem, I am reminded of the following entry which I saw in a parish register book in the west of Dorset; the line in page 361. runs,—

"Who [Harley] sacrific'd Grigg to save his own neck." The entry made by the Rev. J. Upton in the beginning of the last century is:

"Multi Committunt eadem diverso crimina fato; Ille crucem pretium sceleris tulit, Hic Diadema."

Harley a garter, Greg a halter gain'd." {{right|Simon Ward.

Dedication of Kemerton Church (1st S. ix. 271.)—I have lately ascertained that the dedication of Kemerton Church to St. Nicholas, was discovered in the old registers of the diocese of Worcester, Gloucestershire having formerly been in that diocese. I. R. R.
