_MS. Poems and Songs._--In the third volume of MR. PAYNE COLLIER'S

invaluable _History Of English Dramatic Poetry_, p. 275., it is stated,--

"Mr. Thorpe, of Bedford Street, is in possession of a MS. full of songs

and poems, in the handwriting of a person of the name of Richard

Jackson, all copied prior to the year 1631, and including many

unpublished pieces by a variety of celebrated poets."

Can any of the contributors to "N. & Q." oblige P. C. S. S. by informing

him where this MS. now exists, and whether the whole, or any portion of it,

has been published?
