MINOR QUERIES.

_Edward the Confessor's Crucifix and Gold Chain._--In 1688 Ch. Taylour
published _A Narrative of the Finding St. Edward the King and Confessor's
Crucifix and Gold Chain in the Abbey Church of St. Peter's, Westminster_.
Are the circumstances attending this discovery well known? And where now is
the crucifix and chain?

_The Widow of the Wood._--Benjamin Victor published in 1755 a "narrative"
entitled _The Widow of the Wood_. It is said to be very rare, having been
"bought up" by the Wolseleys of Staffordshire. What is the history of the
publication?

_Cardinal Erskine._--I am anxious to obtain some information respecting
Cardinal Erskine, a Scotchman, as his name would impart, but called
Cardinal of England? I suppose he was elevated to the sacred college
between Cardinal Howard, the last mentioned by Dodd in his _Church
History_, and the Cardinal of York, the last scion of the house of Stuart.

And is the following a correct list of English Cardinals since Wolsey, who
died in 1530?
