L.

_Taylor's Holy Living._--I should be obliged by any of your readers kindly

informing me whether there is any and what foundation for the statement in

the _Morning Chronicle_ of Dec. 27th last, that that excellent work, _Holy

Living_, which I have always understood to be Bishop Taylor's, "is now

_known_" (so says a constant reader) "not to be the production of that

great prelate, but to have been written by a Spanish friar. On this account

it is not included in the works of Bishop Taylor, lately printed at the

Oxford University Press." I do not possess the Oxford edition here

mentioned, so cannot test the accuracy of the assertion in the last

sentence but if the first part of the above extract be correct, it is, to

say the least, singular that Mr. Bohn, in his recent edition of the work,

should be entirely silent on the subject. I should like to know who and

what is this "Spanish friar?" has he not "a local habitation and a name?"
