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. Whether Cosin wrote any letter to the Prior _later_ than that of July
25?
4. Who was the _lady_ the Prior wished to seduce to the Roman party?
5. Is there any other account of the controversy?

s'adresser, &c._ Now, as Engelman is a bookseller, and would probably
not object to an order out of his own catalogue, of which he is both
author and publisher, the preceding, circumstances naturally raise the
following Queries:
1. What is the real title-page of Engelman's _Catalogue_ 2. Is the
Parisian house accredited by Engelman; or has the former served the
latter as the London house has Served both? 3. Is it not desirable that
literary men should set their faces very decidedly against all and every
the slightest alteration in the genuine description of a book? 4. Would
it not be desirable that every such alteration should forthwith be

The English title-page omits the important fact, that the
