"relative to the funeral-place of the Protector 

 Cromwell," and quotes a passage from Banks's 

 Life of Cromwell^ but gives no opinion thereon. 



ESTB. 



Edmund Bohun (Vol. v., p. 539.)- — Of Edmund 

 Bohun's Historical Collections, in eight vols, folio, 

 I became the purchaser at Mr. Bright's sale. 

 They consist of a most curious and interesting 

 collection of the newspapers, ballads, tracts, broad- 

 sides of the period (1675-92) in regular series, 

 bound up with original MS. documents, and with 

 a manuscript correspondence with Bohun from 

 Hickes, Roger, Coke, Charlotte, and others, relat- 

 ing to the politics and news of the day. If your 

 correspondent Mr. Rix, from whom I am glad to 

 find we are to expect the private Diary of Bohun, 

 wishes for a more particular description of the 

 volumes, I shall be happy to furnish it. 



Jas. Chosslet. 



Sneezing (Vol. v., pp. 369. 500.).— D'Israeli, in 

 the first series of the Curiosities, in a paper on the 

 custom of saluting persons after sneezing, says : 



" A memoir of the French Academy notices the 

 practice in the New World, on the first discovery of 

 America." 



A relation of mine tells me, that when young, 

 he once fell down in a fit after a violent sneeze ; 

 the " Cryst helpe" may therefore not be totally 

 superfluous ! * A. A. D. 



JBraeni's Memoires (Vol. v., pp. 126. 543.). — 

 Permit me to inform Mr. J. F. L. Coenen that the 

 MS. volume containing Braem's Memoires Tou- 

 chant le Commerce, S^c, is at Oxford, in the library 

 of Sir Robert Taylor's Institution, where it may 

 be seen and consulted, but cannot be disposed of. 

 Mr. Coenen is thanked for his obliging informa- 

 tion, g J. M. 



Portrait of Mesmer (Vol. v., p. 418.). — I beg 

 to inform Sigma, there is a very good engraved 

 profile (bust) of Mesmer in a German work by 

 him, entitled Mesmerismus, oder System der Wech- 

 selwirkungen, ^c, published at Berlin in 1814, in 

 1 vol. 8vo., a copy of which is now before me.
