[Footnote 4: Robertus Bloëtus also, who was still Bishop of Lincoln, and
Rogerus, Bishop of Salisbury, appear to have had sons, though, perhaps, not
born in wedlock; but query.]
_Blanco White._--In Vol. vii., p. 404., is a copy of a sonnet which is said
to be "_on_ the Rev. Joseph Blanco White." This sonnet is one which I have
been in search of for some years. I saw it in a newspaper (I believe the
_Athenæum_), but not having secured a copy of it at the time, now ten or
twelve years ago, I have had occasion to regret it ever since, and am
consequently much obliged to BALLIOLENSIS for his preservation of it in "N.
& Q." "It is needless," as he well observes, "to say anything in its
praise." I should add, that my strong impression is that this sonnet was
written _by_ Blanco White.
