They describe the anxious watchings of a wife at the sick couch of her
husband. In her agony she prays that his life may be spared, at whatever
cost: her prayer is granted, and her husband is restored, but bereft of
reason.

_Ravenshaw and his Works._--Can any of your readers give me information, or
refer me to any works, of John Ravenshaw, who was ejected from
Holme-Chapel[2] under the Act of Uniformity? He is described by Calamy as
having been a good scholar, and possessing a taste for poetry.

Minor Queries with Answers.
_Yolante de Dreux_ (Vol. vi., pp. 150. 209.)--J. Y. has given this queen's
second marriage, but not the date or the names of her issue. I am aware
that her husband Arthur II. (not I.) was Duke of Bretagne, 1305-12, and
that her only son John III., born 1293, succeeded; but the names and
marriages of her five daughters still remain unnoticed, as also any notices
of her father the _Count of Dreux_, or of her mother.

[The names of the five daughters of this lady and their alliances are
as follow:--1. Johanna, born 1294, married to Robert of Flanders, Lord
of Cassel. 2. Beatrix, born 1295, married Guido X., Baron of Laval, in
1315, died 1384. 3. Alisa, born 1297, married, 1320, Burchard VI.,
Count of Vendosme, died 1377. 4. Bianca, died an infant. 5. Mary, born
1302, became a nun, and died 1371. The father of Yolante de Dreux was
Robert IV., Count of Dreux, Braine, Montfort, and l'Amaury, and died
November 14, 1282. Her mother was Beatrix, daughter and heiress of John
Count of Montfort, l'Amaury, and Lord of Rochefort, married in 1260.
This is given on the authority of Anderson's _Royal Genealogies_, table
378, p. 620.]

_Bishop Francis Turner._--He left a manuscript Life of Nicholas Ferrar of
Little Gidding, which formed the basis of Dr. Peckard's _Life of Ferrar_,
reprinted in Wordsworth's _Ecclesiastical Biography_. Where can this
manuscript be found? Are there any literary remains of the bishop to be met
with anywhere?
