Is there a duplicate copy of this separate Title at the end of the Preface?—No.
(The copy with the date 1675 has at the end Testimonia filling eight pages, with a separate title, and a leaf containing three lines of Errata.)
Tomus II. 1689.—How many pages of
Testimonia are there at the end of the Preface?—Thirty-eight pages.
(In George III.'s copy the Testimonia occupy forty-three pages.)
Is there in any one of these volumes the name of any former owner, any book number, or any other mark by which they can be recognised; for instance, that of the Duke de la Vallière?—No. Not in Mr. Grenville's, nor in George III.'s, nor in the Sloane's; this last has not the Third Volume.

Scandal against Queen Elizabeth (Vol. iii., p. 11.).—It is a tradition in a family with which I am connected, that Queen Elizabeth had a son, who was sent over to Ireland, and placed under the care of the Earl of Ormonde. The Earl, it will be remembered, was distantly related to the Queen, her great-grandmother being the daughter of Thomas, the eighth Earl.
Papers are said to exist in the family which prove the above statement.
