THE ROLLIAD.
(22d Ed., 1812.)
Finding that my copy of The Rolliad ("NOTES AND QUERIES," Vol. ii., p. 373.) contains fuller information regarding the authors than has yet appeared in your valuable periodical, I forward you a transcript of the MS. notes, most of which are certified by the initial of Dr Lawrence, from whose copy all of them were taken by the individual who gave me the volume.
W. C. TREVELYAN.
Wallington, Morpeth.
