Fleet Prison (Vol. ix., p. 76.).—A list of the wardens will be found in Burn's History of Fleet Marriages, 2nd edit., 1834. Occasional notices of the under officers will also there be met with, and a list of wardens' and jailors' fees.

The Commons of Ireland previous to the Union in 1801 (Vol. ix., p.35.).—Allow me to inform C. H. D. that I have in my possession a copy (with MS. notes) of Sketches of Irish Political Characters of the present Day, showing the Parts they respectively take on the Question of the Union, what Places they hold, their Characters as Speakers, &c., 8vo. pp. 312, London, 1799. Is this the book he wants? I know nothing of its author nor of the Rev. Dr. Scott.

"Les Lettres Juives" (Vol. viii., p. 541.).—The author of Les Lettres Juives was Jean Baptiste de Boyer, Marquis d'Argens, one of the most prolific and amusing writers of the eighteenth century.
His principal works are, Histoire de l'Esprit Humain, Les Lettres Juives, Les Lettres Chinoises, Les Lettres Cabalistiques, and his Philosophie du bons Sens. Perhaps your correspondent may be interested to learn that a reply to the Lettres Juives was published in 1739, La Haye, three vols. in twelve, by Aubert de la Chenaye Des-Bois under the title of Correspondence historique, philosophique et critique, pour servir de réponse aux Lettres Juives.

Sir Philip Wentworth (Vol. vii., p. 42.; Vol. viii., pp. 104. 184.).—In Wright's Essex, vol. i. p. 645., Sir Philip Wentworth is said to have married Mary, daughter of John, Lord Clifford. I do not recollect that Wright cites authority. I know he has more than one error respecting the Gonsles, who are in the same pedigree.
