[Footnote 3: The author of _Tripartita seu de Analogia Linguacum_, under the words "Leute" and "Barn," says:--"Respice Ebr. Id. Ebr. ledah, partus, proles est. Ebr. lad, led, gigno." A remarkable coincidence at least with Grimm's derivation of léôd from the Goth. liudan, crescere.] [Footnote 4: Thus, Anthon, _Teutschen Landwirthschaft_, Th. i. p. 61.:--"Das Land eines jeden Dorfes, einer jeden Germarkung war wirklich getheilt und, wie es sehr wahrscheinlich, alsdan verlost worden. Daher nannte man dasjenige, was zu einem Grunstüke an Äkern, Wiesen gehörte, ein _Los_ (Sors). Das Burgundische Gesetz redet ausfdrücklich vom Lande das man in _Lose_ erhalten hat (Terra _sortis_ titulo acquisita, Tit. i. § 1.)" Schmeller, in his _Bayrishces Wort. B._ v. _Lud-aigen_, also points to the connection of _Lud_ with hluz-hlut, sors, portio; but he rather inclines to derive it from the Low-Latin, ALLODIUM. It appears to me that the converse of this is most likely to have been the case, and that this very word LEDS or LÆDS is likely to furnish a more satisfactory etymology of ALLODIUM than has hitherto been offered.] * * * * * {433} BP. COSIN'S MSS.--INDEX TO BAKER'S MSS. Your correspondent "J. SANSOM" (No. 19. p. 303.) may perhaps find some unpublished remains of Bp. Cosin in Baker's MSS.; from the excellent index to which (Cambridge, 1848, p. 57.) I transcribe the following notices, premising that of the volumes of the MSS. the first twenty-three are in the British Museum, and the remainder in the University Library, (not, as Mr. Carlyle says in a note in, I think, the 3d vol. of his _Letters. &c. of Cromwell_ in the library of Trin. Coll.). "Cosin, Bp.-- Notes of, in his Common Prayer, edit. 1636, xx. 175. Benefactions to See of Durham, xxx. 377-380. Conference with Abp. of Trebisond, xx. 178. Diary in Paris, 1651, xxxvi. 329. Intended donation for a Senate-House, xxx. 454. Letters to Peter Gunning, principally concerning the authority of the Apocrypha, vi. 174-180. 230-238. Manual of Devotion, xxxvi. 338." As the editors of the Index to Baker's MSS. invite corrections from those who use the MSS., you will perhaps be willing to print the following additions and corrections, which may be of use in case a new edition of the Index should be required:-- Preface, p. vii. _add_, in _Thoresby Correspondence_, one or two of Baker's _Letters_ have been printed, others have appeared in Nichols's _Literary Anecdotes_. Index, p. 2. Altars, suppression of, in Ely Diocese, 1550, xxx. 213. Printed in the _British Magazine_, Oct. 1849, p. 401. P. 5. Babraham, Hullier, Vicar of, burnt for heresy. _Brit. Mag._ Nov. 1849, p. 543. P. 13. Bucer incepts as Dr. of Divinty, 1549, xxiv. 114. See Dr. Lamb's _Documents from MSS. C.C.C.C._ p. 153.
