_Edward Brerewood._--Is there any authenticated portrait extant of this
learned mathematician? He was the first Gresham Professor of Astronomy at
the University of Oxford, and the {174} author of several important
philosophical works; one of which, on the _Diversity of Language_, has been
more than once reprinted. Possibly at Oxford, his _alma mater_, a portrait
of him may be in existence; and I dare say some resident member of that
University will kindly endeavour to ascertain the fact.
