_The Churchwardens' Accounts of St. Antholin's_ (Vol. i., pp. 180,
260.).--In my additions to Mr. Cunningham's _Handbook for London_, I
noticed two folio volumes of churchwardens' accounts, belonging to the
parish of St. Antholin's, that had _accidentally_ got away from the
custody of their proper guardians. This notice roused from his slunbers
one of the said guardians, the present overseer of the parish, W.C.,
Junior, who stated in your journal of February 23. that

"The churchwardens' accounts are in good preservation, and
present (in an unbroken series) the parish expenditure for
nearly three centuries."

The worthy overseer also wishes to impress your readers with a belief
that I had been misled by Thorpe's _Catalogue_, and that the books to
which I referred were merely _extracts_. In justice to myself, I
therefore give the entries in Thorpe's _Catalogue verbatim as they
occur_. Your readers will then be better able to judge which is the
"true" Dromio:--

"The Churchwardens' Accounts from 1615 to 1752 of the Parish of
St. Antholin's, London. Folio, 3l. 3s.

"This curious and interesting volume appears to have been kept
purposely for the various clergymen to write their receipts for
preaching the morning lectures at the above church for nearly a
century and a half. It contains the autographs of many eminent
divines; among others, John Goodwin, R. Pearson, J. Berriman, J.
Withers, J. Cooksey, R. Vann, T. Shepperd. W. Scott, R. Chambre,
