James I.,
_whose picture was at Whitehall_; and a bas-relief of him, with
Jeffry Hudson the dwarf, was fixed in the front of a house near
the end of a bagnio court, Newgate-street, probably as a sign."

Plot, in his _Natural History of Staffordshire_, gives some instances of
the great strength of Parsons.

I shall feel much obliged if you or your readers will inform me, 1.
Whether there is any mention of Parsons in contemporary, or other works?
2. Whether the portrait is in existence? if so, where? Has it been
engraved?

_The Frog and the Crow of Ennow._--I should be glad to get an answer to
the following Query from some one of your readers:--I remember some few
old lines of a song I used to hear sung many years ago, and wish to
learn anything as regards its date, authorship,--indeed, any

"She ne'er with treacherous kiss her Saviour stung,
Nor e'er denied Him with unholy tongue;
She, when Apostles shrank, could danger brave--
Last at His cross, and earliest at His grave!"

"_Incidit in Scyllam_" (Vol. ii., p. 85.).--

"Incidit in Scyllam, cupiens vitare Charybdim;
Sie morbum fugiens, incidit in medicos."

Has any of your readers met with, or heard of the second short line,
appendant and appurtenant to the first? I think it was Lord Grenville
who quoted them as found somewhere together.

_Nicholas Brigham's Works._--Nicholas Brigham, who erected the costly
tomb in Poets' Corner to the memory of Geoffrey Chaucer (which it is now
proposed to repair by a subscription of five shillings from the admirers
of the poet), is said to have written, besides certain miscellaneous
poems, _Memoirs by way of Diary_,
