_Sir William Rider_.--"H.F." would feel obliged by a reference to
any work containing an account of Sir William Rider and his family.
He was Lord Mayor of London in 1600; and his daughter Mary was
married to Sir Thomas Lake, of Cannons, Secretary of State temp.
James I. He wishes more particularly to ascertain the date of Sir
William Rider's death.
_The Word "Poghele."_--What is the etymology and precise meaning of
the word "Poghele" (pronounced Poughley), or rather the first part
of it, which occurs occasionally as the name of a place in the
county of Berks, and perhaps elsewhere?
W.
_Duncan Campbell._--Was the Duncan Campbell, of whom memoirs were
written by Defoe, a real or an imaginary person? If the former,
where can one find any authentic account of him?
L.B.
_Boston de Bury de Bib. Monasteriorum._--Can any of your
correspondents give me a reference to the original MS. of _Boston de
Bury de Bibliothecis Monasteriorum_?
P.
_Cazena on the Inquisition_.--Can any one tell me what is the public
opinion of Cazena's work on the Inquisition? I see Limborch and many
others quoted concerning that tribunal, but never Cazena. Is the
book scarce?--or is it not esteemed? I never saw but one copy.
P.
_The Reconciliation_, 1554.--In 1554, Cardinal Pole directed a
register to be kept in every parish of all the parishioners who, on
a certain day, were to be reconciled to the Church of Rome and
absolved.
