Dr. Eleazar Duncon (Vol. ix., p. 56.).—D. D. will find some mention of Dr. Duncon in a correspondence between Sir Edward Hyde and Bishop Cosin, printed among the Clarendon State Papers (ed. Oxford, vol. iii., append. pp. ci. cii. ciii.), from which it appears that, in 1655, Dr. Duncon was at Saumur; where also Dr. Monk Duncan, a Scotch physician, was a professor (Conf. note a, p. 375. of Cosin's Works, vol. iv., as published in the Anglo-Catholic Library). I regret that I cannot furnish D. D. with the when and where of Dr. Duncon's death.
