_Dr. Sacheverell's "Sermon at Derby."_--Can any of your correspondents
furnish me with information as to the various editions which were
published of Dr. Henry Sacheverell's _Sermon at Derby_ in 1709? I am
anxious to ascertain how many editions were issued, with their dates and
other particulars.

[We think our correspondent will not be able to obtain the
information he requires, owing to the great demand at the time for
the two Sermons for which the Doctor was prosecuted. Mr. Lathbury
states (_History of the Nonjurors_, p. 237) that "of the Sermon
'Perils among False Brethren,' no less than forty thousand copies
were sold in a few weeks." We have also now before us two copies
of the Derby Sermon, both printed in 1709, 8vo., but no intimation
on the title-page of their being different editions, which they
evidently are, on an examination of their typographical
composition. The Bodleian contains a quarto edition of the latter
Sermon, 1710.]
_Lucas Lossius._--I have an old 12mo. volume with the following
title-page:
"Annotationes Scholasticæ _in Evangelia Dominicalia et_ ea quæ in
Festis IESV CHRISTI, et Sanctorum ejus præcipuis, leguntur in
Ecclesia, _per totius Anni circulum_: non inutile futuræ
puerilibus Scholis.
"_His adjectæ sunt in singula Evangelia Disticha, Argumenta,
Doctrinæ Summariæ, Loci et_ _Ob_jectiones præterea, cum brevibus
ac veris earum solutionibus Dialecticis, exercendæ adolescentiæ
causa.
"_Collecta et dictata à Luca Lossio, in Schola Lunæburgensi._
"(*) [right pointing hand symbol] (*)
"Adiecimus et iam recens erudita Evangeliorum Dominicalium et
Festivalium Disticha, inundæ memoriæ causa, à Vuendelino Helbachio
conscripta.
"(*)
"_Franc. Apud Hæred. Christ. Egen._
M.D.LXXVIII."
The words, and parts of words, in Italics are rubricated.
As I live at a distance from any large library, and have consulted in
vain such biographical works as my own scanty shelves afford, I shall be
greatly obliged to any of your correspondents who have access to our
public libraries, to inform me who Lucas Lossius was, and where any
account of him may be met with? Also, who Wendelinus Helbachius,
Stigelius, and Bernardus Bomgardius were, whose "Disticha" are
interspersed throughout the volume? In the "Epistola Nuncupatoria"
mention is made of "Joannis Stigelij, Poetæ clarissimi, nostra ætate,"
and of "M. Bernardi Bomgardij, Ludimoderatoris Vlzeniani;" but I cannot
find any account of these worthies.
I ought to add that each Sunday or Saint's Day is preceded by a curious
woodcut representing the subject of which the Gospel treats.
