"Cum, post mortem D. Cosini, de pretio et valore schedarum, quas
reliquit, hæredibus non satis constaret, ... auspieatò tandem
devenit, ut favore, beneficio, et perquam insigni humanitate
reverendi et doctissimi viri, D. Joannis Smith, Sacræ Theologiæ
Professoris Ecclesiæ Dunelmensis Præbendarii, quorum frequens
hac de re commercium literarum, occasione data, (opportunè
intercedente prænobili et reverendo, D. Georgio Whelero, equite
aurato, et Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ Presbytero, ejusdem quoque
Ecclesiæ Cathedralis Prebendario), habui, duos libellos (tanquam
prætiosas tabulas ab isthoc infami naufragio servatas) a D.
Cosino, dum in Galliâ exularet, Anglieè conscriptos jam
possidieam: quarum unus _Vindicias Ordinatianum Ecclesieæ
Anglicanæ_ contra exceptiones et cavillationes cujusdem
Pontificii sacerdotis e gente nostra, alter _Responsionem ad
Epistolam_ nobili fæminæ Anglæ ab alio saccrdote _pro defensione
communionis sub unicâ specie administrandæ_ inscriptam,
complectitur," &c.
I should still be glad to add to this long note the followng Queries:--
1. Can any of your readers kindly inform me whether Cosin's two letters
to Dr. Geo. Morley are still in existence, either in MS. or in print?
2. Whether there be any fuller or more authentic account of the
controversy than that in these MS. preserved by the care of Dr. Smith?
3. Whether Cosin wrote any letter to the Prior _later_ than that of July
25?
4. Who was the _lady_ the Prior wished to seduce to the Roman party?
5. Is there any other account of the controversy?

ENGELMAN'S BIBILIOTHECA SCRIPTORUM CLASSICORUM.
A little while ago, I ordered Engelman's _Bibliotheca Scriptoram
Classicorum_, purporting to contain all such works published from 1700
to 1846. It was furnished to my bookseller by a foreign bookseller in
_London_ with an English title, having _his own_ name on it as
publisher, and an invitation to purchase the books described in it _from
him_. As the paper and type were German, I objected and received in
consequence a new English title, with the same name upon it, and a
_shorter_ invitation to purchase from him. I was captious enough to
object even to this; and I then received a Leipzig title in German. But
there still remains a difficulty: for this German title has also the
name of a _Parisian_ bookseller upon it, _a la maison duquel on peut
s'adresser, &c._ Now, as Engelman is a bookseller, and would probably
not object to an order out of his own catalogue, of which he is both
author and publisher, the preceding, circumstances naturally raise the
following Queries:
