33. "A Posie of other Men's Flowers."
—Can any of your readers refer me to the following passage?—
"I have cull'd me a posie of other men's flowers, and nothing,
save the string that binds them, is mine own."
D. Q.
34. Sir Edmund Ployden or Plowden.
—I am desirous of obtaining information respecting Sir Edmund Ployden or Plowden, who (according to a tract published at Middleburg in Holland, in 1648, by a writer signing himself "Beauchamp Plantagenet") received a grant of land from the crown of England, covering portions of the present states of Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. Of this province, which was called New Albion, the grantee was "Lord Proprietor," "Earl Palatine," "Governor," and "Captain General." Your assistance I venture to ask, as this is a matter of historical interest here.
