THE prince's masque. 



I beg to hand you, as appropriate to the present 

 season, an account of the expenses of a masque 

 performed at Court in 1620. The original is one 

 of the Exchequer documents ordered to be de- 

 stroyed. Perhaps Mr. Collier, Mr. P. Cunning- 

 ham, or some other of your correspondents versed 

 in dramatic lore, may be able to furnish particulars 

 of the masque for which these expenses were in- 

 curred. Hugh W. Diamond.
