_Toom Shawn Cattie_ (No. 24. p. 383.).--An entertaining volume,
containing the life and adventures of Twm Sion Catti, was published at
Biulth some years ago, by Mr. Jeffery Llewelyn Prichard, who recently
told me it was out of print, and that inquiries had been made for the
book which might probably lead to a new and improved edition.

_Wotton's Poem to Lord Bacon_ (No. 19. p. 302.).--The poem communicated
by Dr. Rimbault, with the heading, "To the Lord Bacon when falling from
Favour," and with the remark that he does "not remember to have seen it
in print," was written by Sir Henry Wotton, and may be found under the
title, "Upon the sudden restraint of the _Earl of Somerset_, then
falling from Favour," in all the old editions of the _Reliquiae
Wottonianae_ (1651, 1654, 1672, and 1685), as well as in the modern
editions of Sir Henry's poems, by Mr. Dyce and Mr. Hannah. It was also
printed as Wotton's in Clarke's _Aurea Legenda_, 1682, p. 97., and more
recently in Campbell's _Specimens_, in both cases, doubtless, from _Rel.
Wotton_. The misapplication of it to Lord Bacon's fall dates from an
unauthorised publication in 1651, which misled Park in his edition of
Walpole's _Royal and Noble Authors_, ii. 208. In stanza 3. line 2. of
Dr. Rimbault's copy, "burst" should be "trust."

"_My Mind to Me a Kingdom is_" (No. 19. p. 302.).--The following note,
from the Introduction to Mr. Hannah's edition of the Poems of Sir H.
Wotton and Sir Walter Raleigh, 1845, p. lxv., will answer Dr. Rimbault's
Query, and also show that a claim had been put in for Sir E. Dyer before
Mr. Singer's very valuable communication to "NOTES AND QUERIES," p. 355.

"There are three copies of verses on that model; two of which,
viz., one of four stanzas and another of size, were printed by
Byrd in 1588. They have been reprinted from his text in _Cens.
Lit_ ii. 108-110, and _Exc. Tudor_, i. 100-103. Percy inserted
them in the _Reliques_ with some alterations and additions; but
he changed his mind more than once as to whether they were two
distinct poems, or only the discovered parts of one (see i.
292-294. 303., ed. 1767; and i. 307-310. ed. 1839). The third
(containing four stanzas) is among Sylvester's _Posth
