_The Book of Nicholas Leigh._--Some twenty or thirty years since a

gentleman named Abraham Roth resided in London, having in his possession

a manuscript of the early part of the seventeenth century bearing the

above title, and relating to the history and internal polity of the town

of Kilkenny. It is frequently quoted by Dr. Ledwich in his _Antiquities

of Kilkenny and Irishtown_. Mr. Roth subsequently deceased in London,

and it is believed his books and other effects were sold there.

Qy. Is _The Book of Nicholas Leigh_ known to any of the correspondents

or readers of "N. & Q.?"
