_Gowghe's Dore of Holy Scripture_.--If your correspondent "F.M." (No. 9.
p.139.) has not received a reply to his third query, I beg to submit
that he will find the perusers of Gowghe's work to be the individuals
mentioned in different portions of Foxe's _Acts and Monuments_, vol. v.
edit. 8vo. pp. 414.449. 482.; the less intelligible names, "Doctor
Barons, Master Ceton," being intended for Dr. Barnes and Alexander
Seton. Anyhow, this reference may, it is hoped, lead to a fuller
discovery of the parties intended.

_Reinerius Saccho_.--Your correspondent "D." (No. 7. p.106.) will find
some account of Reinerius Saccho, if the source is accessible, in Quetif
and Echard's _Scriptores Ord. Praedicatt_. tom. i. 154.

_Discurs Modest_.--Your correspondent "A.T." (No.9. p.142) may be
informed that there can be no reasonable doubt, that the _original_
authority, for _Rem transubstantiationis patres ne attigisse quidem_, is
William Watson in his _Quodlibet_, ii. 4. p.31.; that the _Discurs.
Modest. de Jesuitis_ borrowed it from him; that Andrews _most probably_
derived it from the borrower; and that the date of the _Discurs_. &c.
must, therefore, be between 1602 and 1610. Probably there may be a copy
in the Lambeth Library; there is none in the Bodleian, British Museum,
or Sion College, and Placcius affords no reference. The _author_ may
never have been known.

_Defoe's Tour through Great Britain_.--I am much obliged to your
correspondent "D.S.Y" for the suggestion that the _Tour through Great
Britain, by a Gentleman_, from which I sent you some extracts relating
to the Ironworks of Sussex, is from the pen of Daniel Defoe. On
referring to the list of his writings, given in vol. xx. of C. Talboy's
edition of Defoe's Works, I find this idea is correct. Chalmers notices
three editions of the work, in 1724, 1725, and 1727, (numbered in his
list "154," "156," "163,") and remarks that "all the subsequent editions
vary considerably from the original" of 1724. He states that "this work
is frequently confounded with 'John Macky's Journey through England, in
familiar Letters from a Gentleman here to his Friend abroad,' 1722." I
may take this opportunity of mentioning that, in the first volume of
Defoe's work, there are some very interesting particulars of the
skirmish at Reading, between the troops of the Prince of O
