ge Agar Ellis: London, 1826. I repeat "my sanguine" expectations that "Junius" will yet be "unearthed." "Matthias" made an equal boast with the "mighty shade," that he would be for ever unknown. Your Journal "N. & Q." has left no doubt about the author of _The Pursuits of Literature_. JAMES CORNISH. _Shakspeare's Use of the Word "Delighted"_ (Vol. ii., pp. 113. 139. 200. &c.).--The following passage from Douce's _Illustrations_ has not been referred to by any of your contributors on this point; to some it may be unknown: "With respect to the much contested and obscure expression of _bathing the delighted spirit in fiery floods_, Milton appears to have felt less difficulty in its consideration than we do at present; for he certainly remembered it when he made Comus say: "' ... one sip of this Will _bathe_ the drooping _spirits in delight_ Beyond the bliss of dreams.'" W. T. M. Hong Kong. _Samuel Daniel_ (Vol. vi., p. 603.).--A copy of an original letter of Samuel Daniel, sent to Lord Keeper Egerton with a present of his _Works newly augmented_, 1601, is printed in _Censura Literaria_, ed. 1808, vol. vi. p. 391. John Daniel, who published _Songs for the Lute, Viol, and Voice_, 1606, is supposed to have been the brother of the poet, and the publisher of his works in 1623. He was of Christ Church, Oxford; and took his degree of Bachelor of Music in 1604. At the commencement of the reign of Charles I., he was one of the court musicians, and his name occurs among the "Musicians for the Lutes and Voices," in a privy seal, dated Dec. 20, 1625, exempting the musicians belonging to the court from the payment of subsidies. John Daniel's _Songs_ were "printed by T. E. for Thomas Adams, at the Signe of the White Lyon, Paule's Church Yard, folio, 1606." They are dedicated, in rhyme, to "Mrs. Anne Greene, the worthy Daughter to Sir William Greene, of Milton, Knight." EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. _English Bishops deprived by Queen Elizabeth_, 1559 (Vol. vi., pp. 100. 203.; Vol. vii., p. 260.).--I regret that I am unable to furnish A. S. A. with any additional information respecting the Marian bishops. None of the authorities I used give the dates he requires. Possibly, Mr. Charles Butler's _Historical Memoires of the English, Irish, and Scottish Catholics_, 4 vols. 8vo., 1822, might answer his Queries. I have ascertained from Calamy's _Li
