not have enjoyed without?" I have looked through the lives of Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Hampden, Hobbes, Andrew Marvell, and Fletcher of Saltoun, without finding it; though it is possible it may be in some of these after all. The list given will point to the kind of personage in question. TN. _Imputed Letters of Sullustius or Sallustius_ (Vol. iii., p. 62.).--I am sorry to say that the printer has completely spoiled my Query, by printing _Sullustius_ instead of _Sallustius_ throughout the whole article. I subjoin a few more particulars concerning them. In the edition printed at Cambridge (4to. 1710), and published under the auspices of the learned Wasse, they are included. They are there entitled _Orationes ad C. Caesarem, de Republica Ordinanda_. Cortius rejects them, and De Brosses accepts them. Douza, Crispinus, Perizonius, Clericus, &c., all speak in favour of their authenticity. Allen does not mention them, and Anthon rejects them entirely. With these additional hints I doubt not but that some of your obliging correspondents will be able to give me a reply. KENNETH R. H. MACKENZIE. _Rev. W. Adams._--When did Mr. Adams, the accomplished author of the _Sacred Allegories_, die? This is unaccountably omitted in the "Memoir" prefixed to the collected edition of his _Allegories_ (London, Rivingtons, 1849). Can any characteristic anecdote be related of him, suitable for giving _point_ to a sketch of his life for foreign readers? GEORGE STEPHENS. Stockholm. _Mr. Beard, Vicar of Greenwich._--Any information relating to "Mr. Beard, Vicar of Greenwich," who, in the year 1563, was recommended by Loftus, Archbishop of Armagh, and Brady, Bishop of Meath, as a proper person to be preferred to the bishopric of Kildare, will be very acceptable to-- SPES. _Goddard's History of Lynn._--It has been always understood that Mr. Guybon Goddard (who was Recorder of this borough in 1651 or thereabouts) collected a quantity of materials for a history of Lynn, and that in 1677 or 1678 an offer to purchase them was made by the corporation to his son, Thomas Goddard, but it seems without success. The fact of such materials having been {141} collected is recognised by Goddard's brother-in-law, Sir Wm. Dugdale (who refers to it in some part of his works), as also by Parkin, in his _History of Freebridge and King's Lynn_, p. 293., where he is called a curious collector of antiquities. My Query is, Can any of your corres
