Bitton Vicarage, Oct. 1851.

_Stillingfleet, Bishop of Worcester_ (Vol. iv., p. 274.).--Is it worth

while, in reference to SIGMA'S inquiry as to the name of the author of

one of the Bishop of Worcester's works, to tell you a droll mistake on

that point, which I have before my eyes? I have the work in a fine old

binding, which in the gilt _lettering_ on the back, states it to be by

_Ed. Wigorn_. This reminds me of another similar _naivete_. When the

late Bishop Prettyman, then Bishop of Winchester, wrote to propose to

Mr. Murray to publish his life of Pitt, Mr. Murray, following the

signature too literally, addressed his answer to _George Winton, Esq._
