North-west Passage.—In 1612, Captain Thomas Button made a voyage to discover the north-west passage, and was afterwards knighted by King James. Can any of your readers refer me to a pedigree, or other particulars, of Sir Thomas Button's family? They appear to have been seated at Duffryn, in Glamorganshire, as early as the fourteenth or fifteenth century. Sir Thomas' daughter Ann married General Rowland Langharne, of St. Bride's, Pembrokeshire, a noted character in the civil war.

Pope and John Dennis.—What is the authority for the universal assumption that Pope wrote The Narrative of Dr. Robert Norris? It is said, in the notes to the Dunciad, to have been published in Swift and Pope's Miscellanies, vol. iii. This does not prove that Pope wrote it. Farther, it is not
in the third volume of the Miscellanies as republished in 1731. What are the facts?
