from that of Payne, to whom I communicated it, and which is found in the
first edition only, being perhaps purposely omitted in all the others.

F.D.

[We believe the majority of the books in Mr. Douce's valuable
library, now deposited in the Bodleian, contain memoranda, like
those in his _John of Salisbury_; and any of our Oxford friends
could not do us a greater service than by communicating other
specimens of the _Book-noting_ of this able and zealous antiquary.]

LIBER SENTENTIARUM.--INQUISITION OF THOULOUSE.

Mr. Editor,--In or about 1756, an ancient manuscript in folio, on
vellum, was deposited in the British Museum by Dr. Secker, then Bishop
of Oxford, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, and still, I take for
granted, remains in that institution. It was intitled upon the cover,
_Liber Sententiarum_; but contained the Acts and Decisions of the
Inquisition of Thoulouse, from the year 1307 to 1323. It had been
purchased by the contributions of the Archbishops of Canterbury and
York, of the Bishop of Oxford himself, and of various other prelates,
the lord Chancellor, the Speaker of the House of Commons of that time,
the Viscount Royston, &c.

Can any of your readers inform me whether any or what portions of this
manuscript have been hitherto communicated to the world, either in the
way of publication or translation, or of abridgment, in whole or in
part? An analysis of this manuscript would be interesting to many
