_Bullinger's Sermons._--Will some of your correspondents kindly give me
some information regarding a volume of sermons by Henry Bullinger, which
I have reason to believe is of rather rare occurrence? It is
_Festorum dierum Domini et Servatoris nostri Jesu Christi
Sermones Ecclesiastici: Heinrycho Bullingero, Authore._ There is a
vignette, short preface (on title-page), with a Scripture motto, Matt.
xvii. Date is, "Tiguri apud Christoph. Froschoverum a. MDLVIII."
I believe there is a copy in the University Library, Cambridge.

_Gibbon's Library._--Matthews, in his _Diary of an Invalid_, says, when
visiting Gibbon's house at Lausanne, "His library still remains; but it
is buried and lost to the world. It is the property of Mr. Beckford, and
lies locked up in an uninhabited house at Lausanne" (1st edit. 1820, p.
319.). This was written about 1817. Was the library ever transferred to
Fonthill or to Bath, or does it still remain at Lausanne?

Fox's _Martyrs_, &c., was an ancestor of the Rev. Henry Bright, prebend
of Worcester Cathedral, and instructor of Samuel Butler, author of
_Hudibras_?

_Townley MSS._--I request to know, where are the Townley MSS.?* They
are quoted by Nicolas in the Scope and Grosvenor Rolls? Also, where are
the MSS. often referred to in the _History of the House of Yvery_ as
then penes the Earl of Egmont; and also a folio of Pedigrees by Camden
Russet?

_Order of St. John of Jerusalem._--1. Who were the members of the
British Language of St. John of Jerusalem, when Elizabeth took away
their property?

2. What members of the British Language were present when, in 1546, the
English commander Upton attacked and defeated the famous Corsair Dragut
at Tarschien in Malta? Also, what members of it were present when the
Chevalier Repton, Grand Prior of England in 1551, was killed, after
signally defeating the Turks in another attack which they made on the
island?

3. What became of the records of the Language?

N.B.--Some of them, belonging to the Irish branch of it, were lately
bought of a Jew by a private gentleman in the Grand Duchy of Baden. The
