P.S. Since writing the above, I have been fur- 

 nished with the following list of Kilham's works. 

 I believe it not to be complete. It is however, I 

 understand, the only Catalogue of his writings 

 that has ever been attempted, and as such is worth 

 a place in " N. & Q." for the sake of future 

 bibliographers : —

DR. HICKES'S MANUSCRIPTS. 

 (2 nd S. ix. 71. 88. 105.) 



Allow me to assure your readers that the 

 Hickes Correspondence, alleged to have been 

 burned, is perfectly safe, for I have this day (Feb. 

 13th, 1860) had the pleasure of seeing it, and 

 also some more important MSS. of the period 

 which had been preserved with it. Probrbly 

 your informant inferred that it was destroyed 

 from having learned that some of Hickes's letters 

 were amongst the papers burned on the occasion 

 to which he alludes. It is true that a few of his 

 letters were then burned, but they had been care- 

 fully examined beforehand, and were found not 

 to possess any value whatever except as auto- 

 graphs. F. R. 



Dean Geo. Hickes. — It may perhaps stay the 

 hand of the Vandals, bankers or others, who con- 

 sider everything written before this century as 

 unworthy of a better fate than burning, if they 

 learn that old papers, however intrinsically worth- 

 less in their eyes, have yet a value — even a money 

 value — in the opinion of some of their contem- 

 poraries. As a contribution to the diffusion of 

 this piece of " Useful Knowledge," and as some 

 slight compensation for a shameful wrong done to 

 a learned man's memory, I send a few notes, 

 which may, I hope, open the larger stores of 

 better informed readers : —

 Nichols's Lit. Anecd. and Jllustr., Chauffepie and
