_Walter Lynne_ (No. 23. p. 367.).--"G.P." may look for Walter Lynne
into Johnson's _Typographia_, i. 556., of which copies may be had very
reasonably at Mr. Miller's (see end of No. 15.), 43. Chandos Street.

Your intimation of brevity is attended to; though, in truth, little
more could come from

_Emancipation of the Jews_ (No. 25. p. 491.).--"H.M.A." inquires--1.
If the story mentioned in the Thurloe State Papers, that the Jews
sought to obtain St. Paul's Cathedral for a Synagogue, has been
confirmed by other writers? In Egan's _Status of the Jews in England_,
I find the following passage:--

"Monteith informs us, that during the Commonwealth, overtures
were made on behalf of the Hebrews to the Parliament and
Council of War, through the medium of two popular adherents
of the parliamentarians; the Jews offered to pay for the
privileges then sought by them, the sum of 500,000l.; several
debates took place on the subject, but the _ultimatum_ of the
Puritans being 800,000l., the negotiation was broken off."
