"For as our modern wits behold, _Mounted a pick-back on the old_, Much farther off, much further he, Rais'd on his aged Beast, could see." ERICA. Warwick. _Suggested Reprints._--Acting on the suggestion of J. M., I make a note of the following: "Joshua Sprigge's _Anglia Rediviva_, London, 1647, gives a florid but authentic and sufficient account of this new-model army in all its features and operations by which England had come alive again. A little sparing in dates, but correct when they are given. None of the old books are better worth reprinting."--Carlyle's _Letters and Speeches of Cromwell_. I would remark, also, that there are very few collections of maxims so good and profitable to the present time as Francis Quarles' _Enchiridion_, London, 1702, 12mo. A reprint would be very useful. There is an article thereon in the _Retrospective Review_, vol. v. p. 180. K. P. D. E. * * * * * Queries. RIGBY CORRESPONDENCE. In looking over old family papers, I find a bundle of letters, sixty-seven in number, some of them very interesting, written to my grandfather by Richard Rigby, commencing in the year 1758, and ending 1781. This Richard Rigby, it appears, held the then sinecure office of Master of the Rolls in Ireland, but resided altogether in England, and held office under several administrations as Paymaster of the Forces. His letters from 1769 to 1781 are all dated from the Pay Office. He is the Mr. Rigby whose _awkward integrity_ is alluded to by Philo-Junius in his letter of 22nd June, 1769, and who is ironically styled "Modest" by Atticus in letter of 14th November, 1768. My object is to endeavour to ascertain from some of your correspondents whether there is any representative of Mr. Rigby who possibly might have in his possession the counterpart of the correspondence above alluded to, which to Irishmen could not fail to be of interest, and probably of historic value. The writer was a member of the Irish House of Commons, and, it appears, was in the habit of giving very graphic details of Irish politics in general, and of the proceedings of the House of Commons in particular. Under date of 8th December, 1769, Mr. Rigby thanks him "For your constant accounts of what passes in your parliaments. If it was not for the intelligence I give the ministers from you and the rest of my friends, they would know no more of what is doing in the Irish Parliament than in the Turkish Divan. For (neither) the Lord Lieutenant nor his Secretary ever write a line to the Secretary of State." Again, 2nd December, 1771:
