The Oxford edition is recorded by Ames, and there is a copy of the London edition in the British Museum. Strype, in his account of bishop Aylmer, gives the substance of the letter as his _own_ narrative, almost _verbatim_--but fails to identify the pamphlet in question. Park briefly describes it in _Censura Literaria_, 1815, ii. 18.; and there is a specimen of it in _The Poetical Works of John Skelton_, as edited by the Reverend Alexander Dyce, 1843. While _queries_ evince a sharp mental appetite, _answers_ help to satisfy it; and so, by their united influence, a brisk circulation of ideas may be produced--which, as master Burton assures us, wards off melancholy. BOLTON CORNEY. * * * * * NOTES UPON "NOTES, NO. 1." Sir,--I take the liberty to send you one or two Notes on your first Number, just as they occur to me in looking it over. I will not trespass on you by preface or apology. The "_bibliographic project_" I shall rejoice {20} to see carried out; and though neither an unemployed aspirant nor a fortunate collector (of which class I hope many will be stimulated by the proposition), yet, as I once took some trouble in the matter, I should be happy to contribute some Notes then made whenever the plan is matured and the proposed appeal is made--provided (I must add, and to _you_ I may add) I can find them. The _Liber Sententiarum_ was printed by Limborch, at Amsterdam, in 1692. It forms the greater part, as, indeed, it was the occasion, of his folio volume, entitled "_Historia Inquisitionis cui subjungitur Liber Sententiarum Inquisitionis Tholosanæ ab anno Christi Cl[*C]CCCVI ad annum Cl[*C]CCCXXIII._" Gibbon, in a note on his fifty-fourth chapter, observes that the book "deserved a more learned and critical editor;" and, if your correspondent will only place the _Book of Sentences_ before the public in a readable form, with a map, and (by all means) a few _notes_, he will be doing a great service to all persons who take an interest in ecclesiastical history, or, indeed, in history of any kind. In the year 1731 Chandler published a translation of the _History of the Inquisition_, with a long Introduction of his own, but did not meddle with the _Book of Sentences_, except so far as to introduce into the text of the _History_ some passages from it, which Limborch (as he appended the whole book) did not think it necessary to quote. I remember seeing the MS. in the British Museum within these ten or twelve years, and, according to my recollection, it was accompanied by papers which would furnish an interesting literary history of the volume. I hope your correspondent will give us farther information. N.B. [Mr. Brooke, of Ufford, has also kindly replied to the Query of INQUISITORIUS, by referring him to Limborch.] * * * * * QUERY AS TO REFERENCES.
