that the lawyers were
then established there, or explain the division into the Inner and Middle
Temple, it will at least give some idea of the boundaries, and perhaps
determine whether the site of Essex House, which, in an ancient record
is called the Outer Temple, was then comprehended within them.

"_Junius Identified._"--The name of "John Taylor" is affixed to the
Preface, and there can be little doubt, I presume, that Mr. John Taylor
was literally the writer of this work. It has, however, already become a
question of some interest, to what extent he was assisted by Mr. Dubois.
The late Mr. George Woodfall always spoke of the pamphlet as the
work of Dubois. Lord Campbell, in his _Lives of the Chancellors_,
published a statement by Lady Francis in respect to Sir Philip's claim to
the authorship of _Junius' Letters_, and thus introduced it--"I am
indebted for it to the kindness of my old and excellent friend, Mr.
Edward Dubois, _the ingenious author of 'Junius Identified'_" Mr.
Dubois was then, and Mr. Taylor is now living, and both remained
silent. Sir Fortunatus Dwarris, the intimate friend of Dubois, states that
he was "a connection of Sir Philip Francis", and that the pamphlet is
"said, I know not with what truth, to have been prepared under the eye
of Sir Philip Francis, it may be, through the agency of Dubois." Dubois

was certainly connected with, though not, I believe, related to Sir Philip;
and at the time of the publication he was also connected with Mr.
Taylor. I hope, under these circumstances, that Mr. Taylor will think it
right to favour you with a statement of the facts, that future
"Note"-makers may not perplex future editors with endless "Queries"
on the subject.

_Mildew in Books._--Can you, or any of your readers, suggest a
preventive for mildew in books?
In a valuable public library in this town (Liverpool), much injury has
been occasioned by mildew, the operations of which appear very
capricious; in some cases attacking the printed part of an engraving,
leaving the margin unaffected; in others attacking the inside of the
backs _only_; and in a few instances it attacks all parts with the utmost
impartiality.
Any hints as to cause or remedy will be most acceptable.

_George Herbert's Burial-place._--Can any of your correspondents
inform me where the venerable George Herbert, rector of Bemerton, co.
Wilts., was buried, and whether there is any monument of him existing
in any church?
J.R. Fox.
_The Earl of Essex, and "The Finding of the Rayned Deer."_--
"There is a boke printed at Franker in Friseland, in English, entitled
_The Finding of the Rayned Deer_, but it bears title to be printed in
Antwerp, it should say to be done by som prieste in defence of the late
Essex's tumult."
The above is the postscript to a letter of the celebrated Father Parsons
written "to one Eure, in England", April 30, 1601, a contemporary copy
of which exists in the State Paper Office [Rome,] Whitehall. Can any of
your readers tell me whether anything is known of this book?

_The Lass of Richmond Hill._--I should be much obliged by being
informed who wrote the words of the above song, and when, if it was
produced originally at some place of public entertainment. The Rev.
Thomas Maurice, in his elegant poem on Richmond Hill, has

considered it to have been written upon a Miss Crop, who committed
suicide on that spot, April 23rd, 1782; but he was evidently
misinformed, as it appeared some few years later, and had no reference
to that event. I have heard it attributed to Leonard Mac Nally, a writer
of some dramatic pieces, but on no certain grounds; and it may have
been a Vauxhall song about the year 1788. The music was by James
Hook, the father of Theodore Hook.
QUÆRO.
_Curfew._--In what towns or villages in England is the old custom of
ringing the curfew still retained?
NABOC.
_Alumni of Oxford, Cambridge, and Winchester._--Are the alumni of
the various colleges of Oxford, Cambridge, and Winchester, published
from an early period, and the various preferments they held, similar to
the one published at Eton.
J.R. Fox.
_St. Leger's Life of Archbishop Walsh._--In Doctor Oliver's _History
of the Jesuits_, it is stated that William St. Leger, an Irish member of
that Society, wrote the _Life of Thomas Walsh, Archbishop of Cashel_,
in Ireland, published in 4to. at Antwerp in 1655. Can any of your
numerous readers inform me if a copy of this work is to be found in the
British Museum, or any other public library, and something of its
contents?

_Query put to a Pope._--
"Sancte Pater! scire vellem Si Papatus mutat pellem?"
I have been told that these
