_Prebendaries._--When were prebendaries first appointed, and what the
nature of their duties generally? What is the rank of a prebendary of a
cathedral or other church, whether as a layman or a clerk in orders?
Would a vicar, being a prebendary, take precedence as such of a rector
not being one? Where is the best account of prebends to be found?

_Luther's Portrait at Warwick Castle._--There is at Warwick Castle a
fine half-length portrait of Luther by Holbein, very unlike the ordinary
portraits of the great reformer. Is this portrait a genuine one? Has it
been engraved?

_Rawdon Papers._--The Rev. Mr. Berwick, in introducing to the public, in
1819, the interesting volume known by the name of _Rawdon Papers_,
says,--

"They are a small part of a correspondence which was left in the
Editor's hands after the greater portion had been sent several
years before to the Marquis of Hastings, whose absence at this
time prevents the Editor's making such additions to his stock as
might render it more interesting to the public."
