dition of
Tyrwhitt's _Chaucer_. Occleve's poem has not been printed; but see Ritson's
_Biblioth. Poetica_, and Warton's _H.E.P._ A full-length portrait of
Chaucer is given in Shaw's _Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages_;
another, on horseback, in Todd's _Illustrations of Gower and Chaucer_.

_Lady Jane of Westmoreland_ (Vol. i., p. 103.).--I think your correspondent
Q.D. is wrong in his supposition that the two following entries in Mr.
Collier's second volume of _Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers'
Company_ refer to a composition by Lady Jane of Westmoreland:--

"1585-6. Cold and uncoth blowes, of the Lady Jane of Westmorland.

1586-7. A songe of Lady Jane of Westmorland."

My idea is, that the ballad (for Mr. Collier thinks that both entries
relate to one production) was merely one of those metrical ditties sung
about the streets of London depicting the woes and sufferings of some
unfortunate lady. The question is, who was this "unfortunate lady?" She was
the wife of Ralph, Earl of Westmoreland, who was attainted about the year
1570, and died in Flanders anno 1584. I learn this from a MS. of the
period, now before me, entitled _Some Account of the Sufferinges of the
Ladye Jane of Westmorlande, who dyed in Exile. By T.C._ Perhaps at some
future time I may trouble your readers with an account of this highly
interesting MS.

_Gray and Dodsley._--As the HERMIT OF HOLYPORT has repeated his Queries on
Gray and Dodsley, I must make a second attempt to answer them with due
precision, assured that no man is more disposed than himself to communicate
information for the satisfaction of others.

1. _Gray_: In the first edition of the _Elegy_ the epithet in question is
_droning_; and so it stands in the _Poems of Gray_, as edited by himself,
in 1753, 1768, &c.

2. _Dodsley_: The first edition of the important poetical miscellany which
bears his name was published in 1748, in three volumes, 12mo.
