I may take this opportunity of saying that no play in my volume is more patiently corrected than _Troilus and Cressida_; and that in a preceding speech by Nestor it confirms a correction by Theobald in the first line--god_like_ for "godly;" and by Sir Thomas Hanmer in the last line--_replies_ for "retires." Malone printed _returns_ after Pope, which answers the sense very well, but is hardly so probable a misprint. I am sorry to say that I thought otherwise when I published my Shakspeare; and I never can sufficiently regret that this corrected copy of the second folio did not fall into my hands until some years after I had completed that undertaking. J. PAYNE COLLIER. _Nelson Family_ (Vol. v., p. 176.).--If FRANCISCUS will refer to the pedigree of the Nelson family, in Hoare's _History of Modern Wiltshire_ (Downton Hundred), he will find that _William Nelson_, who settled at Dunham parva in Norfolk, and who was the great-grandfather of the naval hero, was the son of _Edmund_ Nelson of Scarning, in the same county, and grandson of _Thomas_ of the same place, which Thomas, according to the same pedigree, was the son of another William, who is stated to have been a Nelson of Mandesley, the same family from which the Chuddleworth Nelsons are derived in Burke's account. I have tested the general accuracy of this pedigree, which was, I believe, compiled by Mr. Matcham from the parochial registers, but I much doubt the assumed descent from the Mandesley family, as I find Nelsons inhabiting the neighbourhood of Scarning at a period prior to the supposed migration.
