R. S. N. _Epigrams_ (Vol. vii., p. 180.).--I beg to confirm the statement of SCRAPIANA as to the reading John instead of Thomas in the line "'Twixt Footman John and Dr. Toe." It may not be generally known that this epigram came from the pen of Reginald Heber, late Bishop of Calcutta, who was then a commoner of Brazenoze College, and who wrote that extremely clever satire called _The Whippiad_ of which the same Dr. Toe (the Rev. Henry Halliwell, Dean and Tutor) was the hero. _The Whippiad_ was printed for the first time a few years ago, in _Blackwood's Magazine_. I fancy the other facetious epigram given by SCRAPIANA has no connexion with this, but was merely inserted on the same page as being "similis materiae." B. N. C. _Editions of the Prayer-Book_ (Vol. vii., p. 91.).--The following small addition is offered to MR. SPARROW SIMPSON's list: 1592. fol. Deputies of Chr. Barker. Trinity College, Dublin. 1607. 4to. Robert Barker. Trin. Coll., Dublin. 1611. folio. Robert Barker. Marsh's Library, Dubl. 1632. 8vo. R. Barker and the assignes of John Bill. Trin. Coll., Dublin. 1634. 4to. Same Printers. Trin. Coll., Dublin. 1634. 12mo. Same Printers. Marsh's Library. 1638. 4to. Same Printers. Trin. Coll., Dublin. 1639. 4to. Same Printers. Trin. Coll., Dublin. 1616. There is a Latin version, in Dr. Mockett's _Doctrina et Politeia Ecclesiae Anglicanae_. 4to. Londoni. Marsh's Library, Dublin. H. COTTON. Thurles. _Portrait of Pope_ (Vol. vii., p. 294.).--Dr. Falconer's portrait of Pope could not have been painted by _Joseph_ Wright of Derby, as that celebrated artist was only fourteen when Pope died; consequently, the anecdote told of the painter, and of his meeting the poet at dinner, must apply to the artist named by Dr. Falconer, and of course correctly, _Edward_ Wright. S. D. D. _Passage in Coleridge_ (Vol. vii., p. 330.).--The paper referred to by Coleridge will be found in the _Transactions of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society_, vol. iii. p. 463. It is the "Description of a Glory," witnessed by Dr. Haygarth on Feb. 13th, 1780, when "returning to Chester, and ascending the mountain which forms the eastern boundary of the Vale of Clwyd." As your correspondent asks for a copy of the description, the volume being scarce, I will give the following extract: "I was struck
