mon Prayer," &c. Now, in addition to the rubrics 

 quoted by A. A. D., that " all priests and deacons 

 shall be bound to say daily the Morning and 

 Evening Prayer," are as follows : 



'* The Psalter shall be read through once every month, 

 as it is there appointed both for Morning and Evening 

 Prayer." 



" The Order for Morning and Evening Prayer daily to 

 be said or used throughout the year." 



" After the First Lesson shall follow Te Deum laudamus 

 daily throughout the year." 



" The Second Collect for Peace and the Third Collect 

 for Grace shall never alter, but daily be said," &c. 



Many other rubrics might be quoted, but these 

 are given simply to show that clergymen, in obey- 

 ing the 14th Canon, and " observing the Orders," 

 are bound to have daily prayers. 



The 15 th Canon orders the Litany to be said 

 " when and as it is set down in the Book of Com- 

 mon Prayer, and riibi-e particularly on Wednes- 

 days and Fridays." 



The rubric, in the Prayer Book of 1662, says, 

 " it is to be said after Morning Prayer on Sun- 

 days, Wednesdays, and Fridays," &c. 



Now it never was a rule or custom ill the 

 Catholic Church for the Litany to be said daily. 

 According to Archbishop Seeker, as quoted in 

 Hook's Church Dictionary : 



" They were appointed to be said first on Wednesdays 

 and Fridays, these being appropriated to penitence and 

 humiliation and for other fasts ; but not long after, for 

 Sundays also, there being then the largest congregation 

 and most solemn worship." 



The Litany evidently was designed to be a dis- 

 tinct service after the Morning Prayer, and before 

 the Communion office, at a proper distance of 

 time from each. G. W. N.

MAYOR or LONDON IN 1335. 



(2"i S. i. 353. 483. 520.) 



Your correspondents Messrs. Sansom and 

 James Spence Harby have, I think, both wi-bngly 

 imagined, in their extracts from Stow's Chro- 

 nicle, that the sheriffs' and mayors' names are 

 ajfixed instead of prefixed, as they really are, to 

 the occurrences of the year. From my copy, also 

 in black letter, 16mo,, 1573*, it is clear to iiie 

 that the following is Stow's statement :

John Poultney, or Pountney, was therefore 

 Mayor in 1331, 1332, 1334, and again in 1337; 

 John Preston in 1333 ; Reignold at Condit in 

 1335 and 1336 ; and Henry Darcy in 1337 and 

 1338. No mention is made of Wdtton. The dis- 

 crepancy in the authorities quoted is very extra- 

 ordinary, but I think a reference to Stow, be- 

 ginning at the commencement of the reign, will 

 show that the above gives his list correctly, at any 

 rate. The brackets, I should add, are iny own.

If the sighature of the last communication on 

 this Subject indicates the profession of the writer, 

 I am not sorry, as a Pekin, to havfe been anticipated 

 by Miles, in some remarks which I had strung 

 together, in correction of the inaccuracies involved 

 in the foregoing " Notes on Regiments." One or 

 two, however, which he has left unnoticed, may 

 become the subject of a few lines,>e7i attendant the 

 promised continuation of his remarks,
