history of the manuscript down to the time of its disappearance is
fully traced. Referring such of your readers as may feel interested in
the subject to that volume, and reserving for the future numbers a long
list of other interesting Queries which are now before me, it will
gratify me to obtain, through your medium, any information respecting
the MS. referred to. I remain, Sir, yours truly,

JOHN BRITTON.

[Our modesty has compelled us to omit from this letter a warm eulogium
on our undertaking, well as we know the value of Mr. Britton's testimony
to our usefulness, and much as we esteem it.]

INEDITED SONG BY SIR JOHN SUCKLING.


I do not remember to have seen the following verses in print or even in
MS. before I accidentally met with them in a small quarto MS. Collection
of English Poetry, in the hand-writing of the time of Charles I. They
are much in Suckling's manner; and in the MS. are described as--

_Sir John Suckling's Verses_.

I am confirm'd a woman can
Love this, or that, or any other man:
This day she's melting hot,
To-morrow swears she knows you not;
