Another verse informs us that--

"Old coffins ne'er new,

And old pulpits too,

Can be bought at his shop in the island."

The "Taylor's Tale" alluded to is a ballad, written by person of that name,

on the manners and customs of the island. I have not been able to obtain

copies of either of these just noticed ballads; and should any

correspondent of "N. & Q." possess such, they would oblige me by their

insertion.
