Thanksgiving. Preservation of the Prince Regent from

Thanksgiving for King’s Recovery. 1820. 
-A form of prayer for the King’s recovery is 
mentioned by Mr. Storsr (1* §, x. 247.), dated 
1836; but I suspect it is an error of the printer 
for the date of the last item in my list, as I have 
never seen a form of the reign of George IV. 
Query, were there any ? 
There are three more in the present reign not 
yet enumerated : 
Thanksgiving. Abundant Harvest. Oct. 1. 1854. 
Fast, &c. War. Mar. 21. 1855. 
Thanksgiving, &c. Capture of Sebastopol. Sept: 30. 
1855, 
To which I hope we shall soon add another of — 
“Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His Goodness in 
putting an End to the bloody and expensive War in 
which we have been engaged with Russia.” 
I would add that as the aim of “N. & Q.” is 
to facilitate means of inter-commiunication be- 
tween men of like putstits, and as all collections 
of such matters are necessarily incomplete, and 
yet possess duplicates, I wish to make it known 
that it is my desire to fill up as far asd I can by 
exchange, or otherwise, my imperfect collection 
of forms of prayer. HE. S. Taytor. 
Ormesby, Norfolk. 
INEDITED LETTER OF HAYDON. 
[ have a letter of this highly-gifted, but unfor- 
tunate man, in my collection of autographs, which 
will I think prove of interest. It is as follows: 
“ Burwood Place, 
“ Connaught Terrace, 
“ Ju. 28. 1829. 
“ My dear Sir Francis Freeling, 
“Under the following circumstanees, I beg the 
influence of your name. 
“Two months ago I received a letter, asking 
the price of Chairing the Members. I replied 
525 —same as Mock Election. An offer was made, 
which I refused. A fortnight after another came, 
which I accepted. I was then asked to pay for 
the case, and I was promised a deposit direetly, 
and the balance on delivery. J agreed, and have 
never heard since. I have no doubt the whole 
was a vile trich. 
“The letters were signed A. Z., Post Office, 
St. Thomas, Exeter. 
“ What can be thought of the heart of that man 
who could excite the Father of a large Family 
ready to catch at anything! in his wants.
