Sir Thomas Browne and Bishop Ken (Vol. ix., p. 220.).—Had Mr. Mackenzie Walcott referred to a preceding volume of "N. & Q." (Vol. viii., p. 10.), he would have seen that the "coincidences" between these writers had been already noticed in your pages by one of the bishop's biographers.
The life of Ken, from the pen of your correspondent, is omitted in Mr. Mackenzie Walcott's list, and may be equally unknown to that gentleman as the note before mentioned; but in the Quarterly Review (vol. lxxxix. p. 278.), and in many pages of Mr. Anderdon's valuable volume, Mr. Mackenzie Walcott will find ample mention of the work in question.

Unfinished Works (Vol. ix., p. 148.).—J. M. is informed that Dr. Shirley Palmer's Medical Dictionary is finished. From the Preface it appears to have been finished in 1841; but not published (in a complete form) till 1845, with the title A Pentaglot Dictionary of the Terms employed in Anatomy, &c.; London, Longman & Co.; Birmingham, Langbridge.

"The Lounger's Common-place Book" (Vol. ix., p. 174.).—The editor of this publication was Jeremiah Whitaker Newman, who died July 27, 1839, aged eighty years. Some information respecting him and his work, supplied by me, appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine, June, 1846.
