_Lord Cliff and Howell's Letters_ (Vol. vii., p. 455.).--The Lord Cliff, as
to whom your correspondent inquires, and to whom James Howell addresses
some of his letters, is intended for Henry Lord Clifford, and afterwards,
on the decease of his father, fifth and last Earl of Cumberland. He died in
December, 1643. Amongst the many republications of modern times, I regret
that we have no new edition, with illustrative notes, of Howell's
_Letters_. It is the more necessary, as one at least of the later editions
of this most entertaining book is very much abridged and mutilated.
