_Standfast's Cordial Comforts, &c._ (Vol. iii., p. 143.).--ABHBA will find
in a catalogue of curious books published by G. Bumstead, 205. High
Holborn, an early edition of Standfast. It is described thus:

"Standfast (R.), A Little Handful of Cordial Comforts, and a Caveat
against Seducers; with the Blind Man's Meditations, and a Dialogue
Between a Blind Man and Death, 12mo. 1684."

This may assist ABHBA in his researches.

_St. Pancras_ (Vol. ii., p. 496.).--Your correspondent MR. YEOWELL asks
where C. J. Smith's collection of MSS., cuttings and prints, &c. relating
to the parish of St. Pancras, are deposited? It is in the library of
Richard Percival, Esq., 9. Highbury Park, Islington.

Can any of your readers give an account of St. Pancras? He was martyred May
12, 304.

[Has our correspondent looked at the _Calendar of the Anglican Church_,
lately published by Parker of Oxford? A brief notice of St. Pancras
will be found on p. 274. of that useful little work.]

_Brighton Herald_) were copied from the pillar erected on the Mount in
the Dane-John Field, formerly called the Dungeon Field, Canterbury:

'Where is the man who has the power and skill
To stem the torrents of a woman's will?
For if she will, she will, you may depend on't,
And if she won't, she won't so there's an end on't."'

_Scandal against Queen Elizabeth_ (Vol. ii., p. 393.; Vol. iii., p.
11.).--In _Hubback on the Evidence of Succession_, p. 253, after some
remarks on the word "natural," not of itself in former times denoting
illegitimacy, this passage occurs:

"But as early as the time of Elizabeth the word _natural_, standing
alone, had acquired something of its present meaning. The Parliament,
in debating upon the act establishing the title to the crown in the
Queen's issue, thought it proper to alter the words 'issue lawfully
begotten,' into 'natural-born issue,' conceiving the latter to be a
more delicate phrase. But this created a suspicion among the people,
