QUERIES.

EARLY POETRY, ETC., FIVE BIBLIOGRAPHICAL QUERIES RESPECTING.

1. Who was the author of--

London, MDCXXXIII." {375}

It consists of ten leaves, exclusive of title-page, and is signed with
the initials J.R. No copy has been traced in any public or private
library.

2. How many leaves does _Nich. Breton's Fantastiques_ contain? I have a

3. There is in my possession a poetical collection, of which I can find
no trace in any library public or private. It is dedicated to "Edmond
Lord Sheffield, Lord President of his Maiesties Council established in
the north parts," and the following is a copy of the title-page:--
