Britain_.]
_Gorram._--Please to direct me where I can find a short account of Gorram,
an ecclesiastical writer (I suppose) mentioned by D'Aubigne, vol. v. p.
245.

[The divine alluded to by D'Aubigne is no doubt Nicholas de Gorran, a
Dominican, confessor to Philip the Fair of France. He was an admired
and eloquent preacher, and his Sermons, together with a Commentary on
the Gospels, appeared at Paris, 1523 and 1539. He died in 1295.]
"_Rock of Ages._"--Who is the author of the hymn beginning "Rock of Ages?"
J. G. T.
[That celebrated advocate for _The Calvinism of the Church of England_,
the Rev. Augustus Montague Toplady.]
