QUIDAM.

[Cæsar de Missy, a learned Prussian divine, was born at Berlin,

1703. Having settled in England, he was appointed in 1762 to be

one of the French chaplains to George III., and died 1773. His

valuable library, which was sold by Baker and Leigh in 1778,

consisted of many books enriched with his MS. notes, some of which

were purchased for his Majesty's library, some for the British

Museum, and some by Dr. Hunter, who also bought several of his

manuscripts. A biographical account of De Missy will be found in

Chalmers's _Biographical Dictionary_, under _De Missy_ and a list

of his works in Watt's _Bibliotheca Britannica_, art. _Missy_.]

_F. Beaumont and Jeremy Taylor_ (Vol. ii., p. 263.).--"An acre sown with

royal seed," &c. Would M. W. kindly say _where_ the passage in Beaumont

is to be found?
