[In the British Museum are the following works by John Bradford, bound

in one volume, press-mark 3932, c.:--_The Hvrte of Hering Masse_; also

Two Notable Sermons, the one of _Repentance_, and the other of the

_Lord's Supper_, Lond. 1581. On the fly-leaf is written, "A copy of

Bradford's _Hurte of Hearyng Masse_, printed for H. Kirham, 1596,

B. L., was in Mr. Jolley's sale, Feb. 1843. This edition by William

Copland for William Martyne without date is scarcer, and I believe

earlier.--R. H. BARHAM."]

Minor Queries.

_Courtney Family._--I throw an apple of discord to your heraldic,

genealogical, and antiquarian, readers. Was there originally more than one

family of Courtnay, Courtney, Courtenay, Courteney, Courtnaye, Courtenaye,

&c. Which is right, and when did the family commence in England, and how

branch off? If your readers can give no information, who can?
