can venture to do, the fact being that they have neither noses to be pulled
nor souls to be saved; you have no hold upon them either in this world or
the next.

_Leeming Family._--A member of the Society of Friends, named Thomas
Leeming, lived at or near Wighton in the Wolds, in the East Riding of
Yorkshire, between the years 1660 and 1670. What were the dates of his
birth and death? what were the names of his parents, his brothers, and his
children? did any of them leave their native country? and how would a
letter from the inquirer reach a descendant of the family, who could
furnish farther information on the subject? An answer to the whole or part
of the above Queries will much oblige the undersigned.

_MS. Poems and Songs._--In the third volume of MR. PAYNE COLLIER'S
invaluable _History Of English Dramatic Poetry_, p. 275., it is stated,--

"Mr. Thorpe, of Bedford Street, is in possession of a MS. full of songs
and poems, in the handwriting of a person of the name of Richard
Jackson, all copied prior to the year 1631, and including many
unpublished pieces by a variety of celebrated poets."

Can any of the contributors to "N. & Q." oblige P. C. S. S. by informing
him where this MS. now exists, and whether the whole, or any portion of it,
has been published?

_Bishop Watson._--In a lecture delivered by this bishop at Cambridge, he
gave the following quotation:

"Scire ubi aliquid invenire posses, ea demum maxima pars eruditionis est."

Will any of your readers inform me whence the passage is taken?

Minor Queries with Answers.

_Herbert's "Memoirs of the Last Years of Charles I."_--Can any of your
correspondents inform me under what title and at what date Sir Thomas
Herbert's _Narrative of the Last Years of Charles I._ was published? I have
at present in my possession what appears to be the original MS., and am
desirous of comparing it with the printed copy. The MS. bears the title of
_Carolina Threnodia: a Plain and very Particular Narrative of what happened
in the Last Years of King Charles the First_, by Sir Thomas Herbert, an eye
and ear witness. Its opening pages contain a reference to other letters on
the same subject of an earlier date (May 1 and 13, 1678). Were these
letters ever published, under what title, and when?
