The title of Col. R. Laurence's book is,--

"The interest of Ireland in the first Transplantation stated;

wherein it set forth the benefit of the Irish Transplantation:

intended as an Answer to the scandalous seditious Pamphlet,

entitled 'The Great Case of Transplantation Discussed.'

London, 1655."

The author of the pamphlet was Vincent Gookin, Esq., Surveyor-General

of Ireland. He did _not_, at first, put his name to it; but when

Laurence's answer appeared, he then owned himself as the author of it,

and published a pamphlet under this title:--

"The Author and Case of Transplanting the Irish into Connaught

Vindicated from the unjust Aspersion of Colonel Richard

Laurence and Vincent Gookin, Esq. London, 1655."

_Portrait of Sir John Poley._--Perhaps some of your numerous

correspondents can answer whether the portrait of Sir John Poley in

Bexstead Hall, alluded to No. 14. p. 214., has been engraved.
