"Vid. Egilberti archiep. Trevir. epist. adv. Greg. VII., in Eccardi Corp. historic. Medii Ævi. t. ii. p. 170."
This reference I have verified, and found in the epistle of Egilbertus the passage which, no doubt, Bishop Cosin refers to, and which Mr. Bowden cites:
"En verus pontifex et sacerdos, qui dubitat si illud quod sumatur in dominicâ mensâ sit verum corpus et sanguis Christi!"
So much for that part of the difficulty, but another still remains. Was there ever an Egilbertus, or Engilbertus, Archbishop of Treves? To solve this question I consulted a list of the Archbishops of Treves in the Bibliothèque Sacrée of Richard et Giraud, and I there find the following statement:
"Engelbert, grand-prévôt de Passau, fut intrus par la faveur de l'empereur Henri IV., et sacré par des évêques schismatiques. Il mourut en 1101."

Charles Lamb's Epitaph (Vol. iii., p. 322.).—According to Mr. Thorne (Rambles by Rivers, 1st series, p. 190.) the inscription in the churchyard at Edmonton, to the memory of Charles Lamb, was written "by his friend, Dr. Carey, the translator of 'Dante.'" Mr. Thorne gives an anecdote concerning this inscription which I venture to transcribe, in the expectation that it may interest your correspondent Maria S., and others of your numerous readers.
"We heard a piece of criticism on this inscription that Lamb would have enjoyed. As we were copying it, a couple of canal excavators came across the churchyard, and read it over with great deliberation; when they had finished, one of them said, 'A very fair bit of poetry that;' 'Yes,' replied his companion, 'I'm blest if it isn't as good a bit as any in the churchyard; rather too long, though.'"
By "Dr. Carey," of course, is meant the Rev. Henry Francis Cary, M.A., Vicar of Bromley Abbots, Staffordshire, and Assistant Librarian in the British Museum, as he was the translator of "Dante," and an intimate friend of Charles Lamb.
