Of the rest of the ballad I only remember enough to be able to say that it had little or no resemblance to the version in your last Number. C. _William of Wykeham_ (Vol. ii., p. 89.).--1. I believe that there is no better life of this prelate than that by Bishop Lowth. 2. The public records published since he wrote give several further particulars of Wykeham's early career, but a proper notice of them would be too extended for your columns. 3. When W.H.C. recollects that New College, Oxford, the first of the works he names, was not commenced till 1380, and that Wykeham had then enjoyed the revenues of his rich bishopric for nearly fourteen years, and had previously been in possession of many valuable preferments, both lay and ecclesiastical, for fourteen years more, he will find his third question sufficiently answered, and cease to wonder at the accumulation of that wealth which was applied with wise and munificent liberality to such noble and useful objects. I am not able to answer W.H.C.'s 4th and 5th questions. [Greek: Phi.] _Execution of Charles I._ (Vol. ii., p. 72.).--The late Mr. Rodd had collected several interesting papers on this subject; and from his well-known acquaintance with all matters relating to English history, they are no doubt valuable. Of course they exist. He offered them to the writer of this note, on condition that he would prosecute the inquiry. Other engagements prevented his availng himself of this liberal offer. J.M. Woburn Abbey. _Swords_ (Vol. i., p. 415.).--Swords "ceased to be worn as an article of dress" through the influence of Beau Nash, and were consequently first out of fashion in Bath. "We wear no swords here," says Sir Lucius O'Trigger. WEDSECUARF. {111} _The Low Window_ (Vol. ii., p. 55.).--In Bibury Church, Gloucestershire, are several windows of unusual character; and in the chancel is a narrow, low window, called to this day "the Lepers' window," through which, it is concluded, the lepers who knelt outside the building witnessed the elevation of the host at the altar, as well as other functions discharged by the priest during the celebration of mass. ROBERT SNOW. _Brasichelli's Expurgatory Index_ (Vol. ii., p. 37.).--Although unable to reply to MR. SANSOM's Query, by pointing out any public library in which he can find the Ratisbon reprint of Brasichelli's _Expurgatory Index_, I beg to state that I possess it, the Bergomi reprint, and also the original, and that MR. SANSOM is perfectly welcome to a sight of either. C.J. STEWART 11. King William Street, West Strand.
