_Nicholas Brigham's Works._--Nicholas Brigham, who erected the costly
tomb in Poets' Corner to the memory of Geoffrey Chaucer (which it is now
proposed to repair by a subscription of five shillings from the admirers
of the poet), is said to have written, besides certain miscellaneous
poems, _Memoirs by way of Diary_, in twelve Books; and a treatise _De
Venationibus Rerum Memorabilium_. Can any of the readers of "NOTES AND
QUERIES" state whether any of these, the titles of which are certainly
calculated to excite our curiosity, are known to be in existence, and,
if so, where? It is presumed that they have never been printed.

_Ciric-Sceat, or Church-scot._--Can any of your readers explain the

England, A.D. 1031. (_Wilkins Conc._ t. i. p. 298):--

"Et in festivitate Sancti Martini primitæ seminum ad ecclesiam,
sub cujus parochia quisque degit, quæ Anglice _Cure scet_
nominatur."
