"It is remarkable that the printed copy should differ from the fac-simile in the identical point which caused the letter to be published, for in the former the 'xxvij^{th} of June' occurs, whereas in the fac-simile it is the 'xxvj^{th} of June.' The latter is doubtless correct; for an engraver, who copies precisely what is before him, is less likely to err than a transcriber or editor." This is most probably the case; but perhaps some of your correspondents in Ireland will settle the point accurately. J. E. _Lucas Family._--Can any of your correspondents inform me what were the names of the sons of John Lucas, of Weston, co. Suffolk, who lived at the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth century? One of them, Thomas, was Solicitor-General, and a Privy Councillor, to Henry VII., and had estates in Suffolk. W. L. _Watch of Richard Whiting._--In Warner's _History of Glastonbury_ mention is made of the watch of Richard Whiting, the last abbot. It is stated in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ of 1805 to have been in the possession of the Rev. Mr. Bowen, of Bath. Since then, I think, it was sold by auction; at least I have heard so. Perhaps some of your readers know what has become of it, and can say where it now is. The name "Richard Whiting" is said to be engraved inside it. C. O. S. M. _Laurence Howel, the Original Pilgrim._--The unfortunate Laurence Howel published in 1717 (the year in which he was committed to Newgate) a little volume, entitled _Desiderius; or, the Original Pilgrim, a Divine Dialogue, showing the most compendious Way to arrive at the Love of God. Rendered into English, and explained, with Notes._ By Laurence Howel, A.M. London; printed by William Redmayne, for the Author, 1717. In the preface he tells us, that the work was originally written in Spanish; afterwards translated into Italian, French, High-Dutch and Low-Dutch, and about the year 1587 into Latin from the High-Dutch, by Laurentius Surius. There were subsequently two more Latin versions: one by Vander Meer, from the French and Dutch copies, compared with the original; and another by Antonius Boetzer in 1617. The author's name, he says, was unknown to all the editors, and the several editions had different titles; by some it was called the _Treasure of Devotion_, by others the _Compendious Way to Salvation_. The last, however (Boetzer's, I presume), bears that of _Desiderius_. As this was the author's title, Mr. Howel adopted it for his translation, adding, he says, that of the _Original Pilgrim_, to distinguish it from others of the same name, or very like it. He there informs us that Mr. Royston (the distinguished publisher in Charles II.'s and James II.'s reigns) had declared that Bishop Patrick took his _Parable of the Pilgrim_ from it, and that it had formed the ground-work of the writings of many authors in that style.
