Ode_.--Can any of your readers say whether Gray's
celebrated Latin ode is actually to be found entered at the Grande
Chartreuse? A friend of mine informs me that he could not find it
there on searching.

_Abbey of St. Wandrille_.--Will "GASTROS" kindly allow me to ask him
a question? Does the _Chronicle of the Abbey of St. Wandrille_, which
he mentions (No. 21. p. 338.), include notices of any of the branches
of that establishment which settled in England about the time of the
Conquest; and one of which, the subject of my query, formed a colony
at Ecclesfield, near Sheffield?

I feel an interest in this little colony, because my early
predecessors in this vicarage were elected from its monks. Moreover,
some remains of their convent, now incorporated into what is called
"the hall," and forming an abutment which overlooks my garden, are
affording an appropriate domicile to the curate of the parish.

_Queries as to "Lines on London Dissenting Ministers" of a former
Day_.--Not having made _Notes_ of the verses so entitled, I beg to
submit the following _Queries_:--

1. Does there exist any printed or manuscript copy of lines of the
above description, in the course of which Pope's "Modest Foster" is
thus introduced and apostrophised:--

"But see the accomplish'd orator appear,
Refined in judgment, and in language clear:
Thou only, Foster, hast the pleasing art
At once to charm the ear and mend the heart!"

Other conspicuous portraits are those of THOMAS BRADBURY, ISAAC
WATTS, and SAMUEL CHANDLER. The date of the composition must be placed
between 1704 and 1748, but I have to solicit information as to who was
its author.

2. Has there been preserved, in print or manuscript, verses which
circulated from about 1782-1784, on the same body of men, as
characterised, severally, by productions of the vegetable world,
and, in particular, by _flowers_? The _bouquet_ is curious, nor
ill-selected and arranged. One individual, for example, finds his
emblem in a _sweet-briar_; another, in a _hollyhock_; and a third, in
a _tulip_. RICHARD WINTER, JAMES JOUYCE, HUGH WASHINGTON, are parts
of the fragrant, yet somewhat thorny and flaunting nosegay. These
intimations of it may perhaps aid recollection, and lead to the
wished-for disclosure. It came from the hand, and seemed to indicate
at least the theological partialities of the lady[1] who culled and
bound togeth
