mine whether the site of Essex House,
which, in an ancient record is called the Outer Temple, was then

"_Junius Identified._"--The name of "John Taylor" is affixed to the
Preface, and there can be little doubt, I presume, that Mr. John Taylor
was literally _the writer_ of this work. It has, however, already become
a question of some interest, to what extent he was assisted by Mr.
Dubois. The late Mr. George Woodfall always spoke of the pamphlet as the
work of Dubois. Lord Campbell, in his _Lives of the Chancellors_,
published a statement by Lady Francis in respect to Sir Philip's claim
to the authorship of _Junius' Letters_, and thus introduced it--"I am
indebted for it to the kindness of my old and excellent friend, Mr.
Edward Dubois, _the ingenious author of 'Junius Identified'_" Mr. Dubois
was then, and Mr. Taylor is now living, and both remained silent. Sir
Fortunatus Dwarris, the intimate friend of Dubois, states that he was
"_a connection_ of Sir Philip Francis", and that the pamphlet is "said,
I know not with what truth, to have been prepared under the eye of Sir
Philip Francis, it may be, through the agency of Dubois." Dubois was
certainly connected with, though not, I believe, related to Sir Philip;
and at the time of the publication he was also connected with Mr.
Taylor. I hope, under these circumstances, that Mr. Taylor will think it
right to favour you with a statement of the facts, that future
"Note"-makers may not perplex future editors with endless "Queries" on
the subject.

_Mildew in Books._--Can you, or any of your readers, suggest a
preventive for mildew in books?

In a valuable public library in this town (Liverpool), much injury has
been occasioned by mildew, the operations of which appear very
capricious; in some cases attacking the printed part of an engraving,
leaving the margin unaffected; in others attacking the inside of the
backs _only_; and in a few instances it attacks all parts with the
utmost impartiality.

Any hints as to cause or remedy will be most acceptable.

_George Herbert's Burial-place._--Can any of your correspondents inform
me where the venerable George Herbert, rector of Bemerton, co. Wilts.,
was buried, and whether there is any monument of him existing in any
church?
