ecame, in the last year of his life, a convert to Christianity--his canonisation by St. Jerome is undoubted and there was stated to be a MS. of the above epistle in Merton College. May I ask any of your contributors whether this MS. has ever been printed? J. M. S. Hull. _Meaning of "folowed."_--Inside the cover of an old Bible and Prayer-Book, bound in one quarto, Robert Barker, 1611, is the following inscription: "July eight I was much folowed when I lay in bed alone att Mistris Whitmore's house, wee haveing agreed too bee married nextt daye. "God, even our own God, shal bless us. This incouriged mee too hope for God's favour and blessing through Christ. "Christopher Curwen and Hannah Whitmore was married att Lambe's Chapel, near Criplegate, July ninth, 1712." An entry of his marriage with his first wife, Elizabeth Sutton, 1704, is on the cover at the beginning of the book. Can any one of your correspondents enlighten me as to the meaning of the word _folowed_? The letters are legibly written, and there can be no mistake about any of them. Is it an expression derived from the Puritans? H. C. K. ---- Rectory, Hereford. _Roman Catholic Registers._--Can any of your correspondents inform me where I can find the registers of births, marriages, and burials of Roman Catholic families living in Berks and Oxon in the reigns of Charles I. and II.? A. PT. _St. Alban's Day._--At p. 340. of the _Chronicles of London Bridge_, it is stated that Cardinal Fisher was executed on St. Alban's day, June 22, 1535. How is it that in our present calendar St. Alban's day is not June 22, but June 17? On looking back I see SIR W. C. TREVELYAN, in our first volume, inquired the reason of this change, but I do not find any reply to his Query. E. H. A. _Meigham, the London Printer._--J. A. S. is desirous of obtaining information regarding a printer in London, of the name of Meigham, about 1745-8, or to be directed where to search for such. Meigham conversed, or corresponded, about Catholicity with Dr. Hay, the then vicar-apostolic of the Eastern District of Scotland. _Adamsoniana._--Is anything known of the family of Michel Adamson, or Michael Adamson, the eminent naturalist and voyager to Senegal, who, though born in France, is said to have been of Scottish extraction? Where is the following poem to be met with? "Ode in Collegium Bengalense, praemio dignata quod alumnis collegior
