Hence the _Register_ would seem to have been a sort of chronicle, kept by the rector of Petworth; and it does not appear whether it was or was not in the same volume with the register of births, marriages, and deaths. In the latter case, it may possibly be still in the Petworth parish chest; for the returns to which your correspondents refer, would probably not have mentioned any other registers than those of which the law takes cognizance. On the other hand, if the chronicle was attached to the register of births, &c., it may have shared the too common fate of early registers; for, when an order of 1597 directed the clergy to transcribe on parchment the entries made in the proper registers since the beginning of Elizabeth's reign, they seem to have generally interpreted it as a permission to make away with the older registers, although there _are_ cases in which the proper books are still preserved. (I am myself acquainted with two in this neighbourhood; and J. S. B., if I am right in identifying him with the author of the very curious and valuable _History of Parish Registers_, can no doubt mention many others.) But how did Heylyn, who collected most of his materials about 1638, get hold of the book? J. C. ROBERTSON. Bekesbourne. _Holland's "Monumenta Sepulchralia Ecclesiæ S. Pauli"_ (Vol. ii., p. 265.; Vol. iii., p. 427.; Vol. iv., p. 62.).--Sir Egerton Brydges, in his _Censura Literaria_, vol. i. p. 305., attributes this work to _Henry_ Holland. In his notice of _Heroologia Anglica_, he says: "The author was Henry Holland, son of Philemon Holland, a physician and schoolmaster at Coventry, and the well-known translator of Camden, &c. Henry was born at Coventry, and travelled with John, Lord Harrington, into the Palatinate in 1613, and collected and wrote (besides the _Heroologia_) _Monumenta Sepulchralia Ecclesiæ S. Pauli, Lond._, 4to.; and engraved and published _A Book of Kings, being a true and lively effigies of all our English Kings from the Conquest till this present_, &c., 1618. He was not educated either in Oxford or Cambridge; having been a member of the society of Stationers in London. I think it is most probable that he was brother to Abraham Holland, who subscribes his name as 'Abr. Holland alumnus S. S. Trin. Coll. Cantabr.' to some copies of Latin verses on the death of John, second Lord Harrington, of Exton, in the _Heroologia_; which Abraham was the author of a poem called _Naumachia, or Holland's Sea-Fight_, Lond. 1622, and died Feb. 18, 1625, when his _Posthuma_ were edited by 'his brother H. Holland.' At this time, however, there were other writers of the name of Hen. Holland.--(See Wood's _Athenæ_, i. 499.)" J. Y. Hoxton.
