_Park the Antiquary._--In a note to the third volume (p. lxxiii.) of the

_Grenville Correspondence_ the following passage: "Barker has printed a

second note, which Junius is supposed to have written to Garrick, upon the

authority of Park the antiquary, _who states_ that he found it in a

_cotemporary newspaper_," &c. This is not strictly correct. Barker says (p.

190.), "The letter was found in a copy of Junius belonging to [Query, which

_had_ belonged to?] T. Park, &c. He had [Query, it is presumed?] cut it out

of a newspaper; but unfortunately has omitted to furnish the date of the

newspaper." [Query, How then known to be cotemporary?] The difference is

important; but where is the copy containing this letter? By whom has it

been seen? By whom and when first discovered? Where did Barker find the

story recorded? When and where first printed?
