As I find that the editor of _Bacon's Essays_ for Bohn's _Standard Library_
has not verified the quotations, I venture to send you a few "N. & Q." on
them, which I hope to continue from time to time, if they prove acceptable.
In compliance with the recommendation of MR. SYDNEY SMIRKE and the REV. H.
T. ELLACOMBE (Vol. vi., p. 558.), I append my name and address.
N.B. The paging and notes of Bohn's edition are followed throughout.
