There is no reason to question the truth of these sentiments. The letter
is believed to be the first which appeared signed "ATTICUS," and was
written many months before the author became known as Junius, and before
any necessity had arisen for the exercise of that habitual caution which
he afterwards evinced in the mention of any circumstance at all likely
to lead to his detection. Would it not, therefore, be worth while to
ascertain the date of the letter in the _Public Advertizer_ which
influenced him, and then to search the names of the transferrors of
stock between that time and the 19th August? Many of the contributors to
the "Notes and Queries" have influence sufficient to obtain permission
from the proper authority for such a search. It is observable, that as
the amount _transferred_ formed the _greatest part_ of his property, it
would be somewhat considerable, and might not be sold in the aggregate,
but pass in various sums to several purchasers.

_Junius and Sir G. Jackson._--I find no one has answered my question
about Sir George Jackson (No. 11. p. 172.). I will therefore put
another. I possess an unpublished letter by Junius to Woodfall, which
once belonged to Sir George Jackson. My Query is, "Is it likely he could
have obtained it from Junius, if he was neither Junius himself nor a
party concerned?" The manner in which Burke evades the question as to
himself being the author of _Junius_ makes me think two or three were
concerned in these _Letters_.

NEW EDITION OF REV. DR. OWEN'S WORKS.
I gladly avail myself of the hint thrown out by "R.R." (in No. 17.) to
state that as I am engaged in editing a reprint of the works of the Rev.
Dr. Owen, and as I am exceedingly anxious to ensure accuracy in the
quotations from and references to the Fathers, any suggestions which may
be furnished by those of your learned correspondents who may be
conversant with the works in question, will be very acceptable. I should
wish much to obtain _original editions_ of the leading works, such as
that _On the Person of Christ_; _On the Work of the Spirit_; _On the
Death of Death, in the Death of Christ_. Have any of your correspondents
ever taken the trouble of collating the Greek and Latin quotations with
the authors quoted from, and examined the references made to the Fathers
and other ancient writers? Any communication addressed to the editor of
the works of Owen at Messrs. Johnstone and Hunter, Publishers,
Edinburgh, will be promptly forwarded to me.

MINOR QUERIES.
_MS. Book of Hours._--In the sale catalogue of the library of John
Bridges, of Lincoln's Inn, February, 1725, is entered Lot 4311:--
"Missale quondam Henrici VII., regis Angliæ, ut ex ipsius
autographo in codicis initio patet, pulcherrime illuminatum, et
inconibus fere 80 exornatum. In pergameno, et ornatissime
compact."
