East Sheen, Surrey. 



At least three editions of Henry Smith's Ser- 

 mons, &c., have already been mentioned in your 



1. That of 1590, 1591, 1594, if these publica- 

 tions are to be counted as one edition. 



2. The later one of 1675. 



3. That of which Mr. Bingham has a copy. I 

 presume of 1624, 1625, as it agrees with an im- 

 perfect copy in my possession. 



I have also one of 1632, imperfect, but in fair 

 condition. 



These more recent editions are not, I believe, 

 very rare. Edwd. H. Knowles. 



St. Bees. 



The best edition of Henry Smith's Sermons Is 

 that of 1675. It is more complete than the former 

 editions, and no other has appenred since. It con- 

 tains a Life of the author by Thomas Fuller. A 

 complete list of the contents of this volume will 

 be found in the Cyclopedia Bibliographica, Au-

Son of Pascal Paoli (2"'» S. viii. 399.) — The 

 suicide to which A. A.'s informant referred was 

 probably that of the unfortunate Colonel Fred- 

 erick, son of Theodore King of Corsica, who died 

 the nth Dec. 1756. The unhappy end of Col. 

 Frederick is thus described by Dr. Doran, in his 

 Monarchs retired from Business : — 



"Nearly forty years after King Theodore was con- 

 signed to the grave in St. Anne's, an old man, one night 

 in February, 1796, walked from a coffee-house at Storey's 

 Gate to Westminster Abbe3^ Under one of the porches 

 there he put a pistol to his head, pulled the trigger, and 

 fell dead. The old man was the son of Theodore, Colonel 

 Frederick. The latter had been manj' years familiar to 

 the inhabitants of London, and remarkable for his gen- 

 tlemanlike bearing and his striking eccentricities. He 

 had fulfilled many employments, and had witnessed many 

 strange incidents. Not the least strange, perhaps, was 

 his once dining at Dolly's, with Count Poniatowski, 

 when neither the son of the late King of Corsica, nor he 

 who was the future King of Poland, had enough between 

 them to discharge their reckoning. Distress drove him to 

 suicide, and his remains rest by the side of those of his 

 father."

ThQ unhappy suicide alluded to by A. A. was 

 not the son of Pascal Paoli ; but Colonel Fre- 

 derick, the reputed son of Theodore, King of 

 Corsica, who shot himself in the west porch of
