Lepel's Regiment (Vol. vii., p. 501.).—J. K. may rest assured that no trace can now be discovered of a regiment thus named, which existed in the year 1707. I have searched the lists of cavalry and infantry regiments at the battle of Almanza, fought April 25th of that year, and do not find this regiment mentioned. May I substitute for "Lepel's" regiment, "Pepper's" regiment? The colonelcy of that corps, now the 8th Royal Irish Hussars, became vacant by the fall of Brigadier-General Robert Killigrew at Almanza, and it was immediately conferred on the lieutenant-colonel of the corps, John Pepper, who held it until March 23, 1719.

Editions of the Prayer Book prior to 1662 (Vol. vi., pp. 435. 564; Vol. vii. passim).—I have recently met with the following editions, which have not, I think, been yet recorded in your pages:
1630. folio, London.
1639. 4to. Barker and Bill.
1661. 8vo. London, Duporti, Latin.
The first and third are in Mr. Darling's Encyc. Bibl., see columns 366, 367; the second I saw at Mr. Straker's, Adelaide Street, Strand.
Will some of your readers kindly tell me in what edition of the Prayer Book the "Prayers at the Healing" are last met with? I have them in a Latin Prayer Book, 12mo. London, 1727.[[7]]
