the
truth respecting a legend attached to the head of our Saviour for some time
past in the print-shops?" I ask the same question. True or false, I found
in a work entitled _The Antiquarian Repertory_, by Grose, Astle, and
others, vol. iii., an effigy of our Saviour, much inferior in all respects
to the above, with the following attached:--

"This present figure is the similitude of our Lord [=IHV], oure Saviour
imprinted in amirvld by the predecessors of the greate turke, and sent
to the Pope Innosent the 8. at the cost of the greate turke for a token
for this cawse, to redeme his brother that was taken presonor."

This was painted on board. The Rev. Thomas Thurlow, of Baynard's Park,
Guildford, has another painted on board with a like inscription, to the
best of my recollection: his has a date on it, I think.

Pope Innocent VIII. was created Pope in 1484, and died in 1492.

The variation in the three effigies is an argument against the truth of the
story, or the two on board must have been ill-executed. That in the shops
is very beautiful.

The same gentleman possesses a Bible, printed by Robert Barker, and by the
assignees of John Bill, 1633; and on a slip of paper is, "Holy Bible
curiously bound in tapestry by the nuns of Little Gidding, 12mo., Barker."

In a former Number a person replies that a Bible, bound by the nuns of
Gidding for Charles I., now belongs to the Marquis of Salisbury. Query the
_size of that_?

_Lady Bingham_ (Vol. iii., p. 61.).--If C. W. B. will refer to the
supplementary volume of Burke's _Landed Gentry_, p. 159, he will see that
Sarah, daughter of John Heigham, of Giffords Hall, co. Suffolk (son of
William Heigham, of Giffords, second son of Clement Heigham, of Giffords,
second son of Thomas Heigham, of Heigham, co. Suffolk) married, first, Sir
Richard Bingham, Knt., of Melcombe Bingham, co. Dorset, governor of
Connaught in 1585, &c.; and secondly, Edward Waldegrave, of Lawford, co.
Essex. This, I presume, is the lady whose maiden name he enquires for.

Yet in this _captious_ and intenible sieve,
I still pour in the waters of my love,
And lack not to lose still:"
