_Grostete, Bishop of Lincoln._--Dibdin, in his _Northern Tour_, vol. i.

p. 97., says of this distinguished prelate:

"We may anticipate the portrait of this truly great man drawn to

the life in the intended biography of my friend Mr. Willson."

Dibdin published this in 1838. Has the memoir of Grostete ever appeared?

I may add, as a pendant to this Query, that two years back I saw a

beautiful English MS. of Grostete's on vellum, at the library of the

English College at Douay, out of which some British traveller, to whom

it had been obligingly lent, had cut every one of the illuminations.
