_Concolinel._--I have recently met with a curious manuscript which

contains numerous tunes of the time of Queen Elizabeth, one of which is

stated in a recent hand to be the "tune of _Concolinel_ mentioned by

Shakspeare;" but the old index, if there was one that indicated this, is

now missing. My reason for writing to you is to ask whether Dr.

Rimbault, or any of your other correspondents, can refer me to any

information that will enable me to ascertain whether my MS. really

contains that tune. It certainly does contain several others noticed by

Shakspeare.
