MATERRE.

Mr. Henning of Hillingden, a descendant of the Ferrar family, through his

great-uncle, Dr. John Mapletoft, (see Ward's _Lives of the Gresham

Professors_), who was the great-nephew of Nicholas Ferrar, possessed one of

the three curious volumes arranged by members of the family, {446} viz.--_A

Digest of the History of our Saviour's Life_, with numerous plates. One of

these copies was presented to Charles I. on his going into the North;

another to Charles II. at the Restoration; the third remained in the

family. Can any of your readers tell us whether the copies given to the two

kings exist, and if so, who are the present possessors of them?
