_ad locum_. From a review of _Museum Disneianum_, which appeared in No. XXIII. of the _Classical Museum_, it seems that Mr. Disney has devoted to this subject some pages of the introduction to Part II. of the above work, of which a summary is given by the reviewer. ED. S. JACKSON. Torreridge, Herts, Oct. 23. _Querela Cantabrigiensis_ (Vol. ii., pp. 168. 205.).--MR. SANSOM is sustained by Anthony Wood in assigning the _Querela_ to Dean Ryves; but it may be doubted whether he were anything but the editor, publishing it as an Appendix to the _Mercurius Rusticus_. The title of the work is _Querela Cantabrigiensis: or A Remonstrance by way of Apologie for the banished Members of the late flourishing University of Cambridge, by some of the said Sufferers_. Now Dean Ryves was a member of the University of Oxford. In Wood's _Fasti_, it is stated that he took the degree of B.A., Oct. 26, 1616, being then of New College. On June 9, 1619, he was admitted of Magdalen College, as a member of which he took his B.D. in 1632, and proceeded to D.D. in 1639. He had nothing therefore to do with the sufferings of the members of the University of Cambridge. In the _Life of Dr. Barwick_, the account given of the _Querela Cantabrigiensis_ is:-- "But _Mr. Barwick's_ no inconsiderable part of this tragedy, together with others of the university, groaning under the same yoke of tyranny, _and each taking a particular account of the sufferings of his own college_, {449} gave a distinct narrative of all these barbarities, and under the title of _Querela Cantabrigiensis_, or the _University of Cambridge's Complaint_, got it printed by the care of _Mr. Richard Royston_, a bookseller of _London_, who did great service to his king and country, by printing and disposing, in the most difficult times, books written in defence of the royal cause." pp. 32-33. In the Appendix (p.495. note), Dr. Bruno Ryves is mentioned, and spoken of as the author of _Mercurius Rusticus_; but no notice is taken of his being one of the authors of the _Querela_. Of Dr. Ryves, who assisted in the Polyglot, a good account is given in Todd's _Life of Bishop Walton_, vol. i. pp. 306-309. Barwick was upon another occasion assisted in a work against the League and Covenant, published in 1644, by William Lacy of St. John's, Isaac Barrow of Peter-House, Sethward of Sidney College, Edmund Baldero, and William Quarles of Pembroke Hall, and
