Cambridge, November 16. 1850.
In Nichol's _Litterary Anecdotes_, vol. ii. p. 519., it is stated that "a
capital account of the family of Ferrar was compiled by Mr. Gough for the
sixth volume of the second edition of the _Biographica Britannica_." Of the
only two copies known to exist of the printed portion of this sixth volume
Mr. Chalmers possessed one, and he seems to have used it in the preparation
of the life of Ferrar for his _Biographical Dictionary_.
