"To Robert de Wodehouse, keeper of the King's Wardrobe, for the price of 174 florins from Florence, price each florin as purchased, 39-1/2_d_. paid to the same keeper by the hands of John de Houton, his clerk, for one pound and one mark of gold, to make oblations on the day of the coronation for the Lord the King:--and in the manner was delivered 104 florins and a mark of 70_s_. by the king's command, under the privy seal, which was used before he received the government of this kingdom,--£28.12.6." [Greek: Phi]. _John Hopkins, the Psalmist._ Sir,--Little is known of the personal history of John Hopkins, the coadjutor of Sternhold in the translation of the Psalms. It is generally agreed that he was a clergyman and a schoolmaster in Suffolk, but no one has mentioned in what parish of that county he was beneficed. It is highly probably that the following notes refer to this person, and if so, the deficiency will have been supplied by them. In Tanner's List of the Rectors of Great Waldingfield in Suffolk, taken from the Institution Book at Norwich, there is this entry:-- "Reg. xix. 55 12 Aug. 1561 Joh. Chetham, ad praes. Willi Spring, Arm. Jo. Hopkins. 168. 3 April, 1571. Tho. Cooke, ad praes. Edw. Colman, B.D." In the Parish Register of Great Waldingfield is the following:-- "Buried, 1570. Mr. John Hopkins, 23rd Oct." D. * * * * * NOTES IN ANSWER TO MINOR QUERIES. _Genealogy of European Sovereigns._ Sir,--Perhaps the following books will be of service to your correspondent Q.X.Z., viz.:-- "A Genealogical History of the present Royal Families of Europe, the Stadtholders of the United States, and the Succession of the Popes from the 15th century, &c. &c., by the Rev. Mark Noble." London, 1781. "Historical and Genealogical, Chronological, and Geographical Atlas, exhibiting all the Royal families in Europe, their origin, Descent, &c., by M. Le Sage." London, 1813. "Complete Genealogical, Historical, Chronological, and Geographical Atlas, &c., by C.V. Lavoisne." Philadelphia, 1821. W.J.B. _Countess of Pembroke's letter--Drayton's Poems--A Flemish Account--Bishop Burnet._ Your correspondent, at p. 28., asks whether there is any contemporary copy of the celebrated letter, said to have been written by Anne, Countess of Pembroke, to Sir Joseph Williamson? I would refer him to Mr. Hartley Coleridge's _Lives of Distinguished Northerns_, 1833, p. 290. His arguments for considering the letter _spurious_, if not conclusive, are very forcible, but they are too copious for this paper.
