er one (which I fancy introduces the
names of Moliere, Rousseau, and Fenelon), am I able to quote.

_Wife of James Torre._-James Torre, the Yorkshire antiquary, married for
his first wife Elizabeth Lincolne (see _Ducatus Leod._, p. 119. Whitaker's
ed.); can any one inform me who was that lady's father, and if there is any
pedigree known of the family?

I have little doubt that the Rev. William Lincolne, rector of Halton,
Lincolnshire, mentioned by Walker, in his _Sufferings of the Clergy_, b.
ii. p. 295., was of the same family.

_"The Bear's Bible."_--In the library of Queen's College, Oxon, is a copy
of the Spanish version of the Bible, by Cassiod. Reyna (1569), with the
following inscription:--

Ampliss. Antistiti. ac Dno R^{mo} D. Edmundo Grindalo, archiepiscopo
Cantuariensi, et totius Angliae primati digniss. _Ob erepta hujus
Hispanicae versionis sacrorum librorum Scripta ex hostium manibus_
Cassiodorus Reinius ejusdem versionis author gratitudinis ergo et in
perpetuae observantiae pignus D.D.D."

What are the circumstances here alluded to?

_Harris, Painter in Water-Colours._--Some friends of mine have a large
paper copy of the edition of the Bible, published in 1802, by Messrs.
Nicoll, of Pall-Mall, and known as "Reeves' Bible," which is adorned with a
large number of small original drawings in water-colour by "J. Harris, of
Walworth, Surrey." I should be obliged if any of your correspondents can
give me any information respecting Mr. Harris, and can tell me whether he
is still living. The drawings were made before the year 1819.

_University Hoods._--The Scotch universities of Aberdeen, St. Andrew's, and
Glasgow had, before the Reformation, or before the Revolution rather, hoods
for the several degrees of M.A., D.D., LL.D., and D.C.L. What these were,
is a question which it is now very difficult to determine; but this much is
known, that the hoods of Aberdeen were identical with those of Paris, those
of St. Andrew's with those of Louvain, and those of Glasgow with those of
Bologna. The Revolution, however, has done much to obliterate the traces of
even the Parisian hoods, and the M.A. hood of Paris is all that has
hitherto rewarded the researches of the university antiquary. Can any of
your readers assist in the somewhat interesting investigation by
endeavouring to discover, or informing us if they already k
