Can any of your readers afford information on this point? The publication of the essays in question (supposing that they have not yet been published) would be a most welcome addition to the works of so eminent and original an author as S. T. Coleridge.

129. Henryson and Kinaston.
—MR. SINGER (Vol. iii., p. 297.) refers to Sir Francis Kinaston's Latin version of Chaucer's Troilus and Cresseid, and of Henryson's Testament of Cresseid. The first two books of the former are well known as having been printed at Oxford, 1635, 4to.; and the entire version was announced for publication by F. G. Waldron, in a pamphlet printed as a specimen, in 1796. Query, Who is now the possessor of Kinaston's manuscript, which MR. SINGER recommends as worthy of the attention of the Camden Society?
In the original table of contents of a manuscript collection, written about the year 1515, one article in that portion of the volume now lost is "Mr. Robert Henderson's dreme, On fut by Forth." Can any of your readers point out where a copy of this, or any other unpublished poems by Henryson, are preserved?

130. Oldys' Account of London Libraries.
—In "A Catalogue of the Libraries of the late William Oldys, Esq., Norroy King at Arms (author of the Life of Sir Walter Raleigh), the Reverend Mr. Emms, of Yarmouth, and Mr. William Rush, which will begin to be sold on Monday, April 12, by Thomas Davies;" published without date, but supposed to be in 1764, I find amongst Mr. Oldys's manuscripts, lot 3613.: "Of London Libraries: with Anecdotes of Collectors of Books, Remarks on Booksellers, and on the first Publishers of Catalogues." Can any of your readers inform me if the same is still in existence, and in whose possession it is?
