I should still be glad to add to this long note the followng Queries:-- 1. Can any of your readers kindly inform me whether Cosin's two letters to Dr. Geo. Morley are still in existence, either in MS. or in print? 2. Whether there be any fuller or more authentic account of the controversy than that in these MS. preserved by the care of Dr. Smith? 3.
