[The problem of the trisection of the angle by aid of the straight line
and circle, used as in Euclid, has never been solved--no reward was
ever offered for its solution.]
_Wolsey's Son._--Can any of your readers give an account of a son of
Cardinal Wolsey, whose existence is recorded in a letter from Eustace {304}
Chapuys to the Emperor Charles V., October 25, 1529, in the following
words:--
"The cardinal has now retired with a very small train to a place about
ten miles hence. A son of his has been sent for from Paris, who was
there following his studies, and of whom I have formerly made some
mention to your Majesty"--_Correspondence of Charles V._, p. 291.
Cardinal Beaton had lots of bastards, but I never remember to have seen in
any account of Wolsey mention made of natural children.
