_Verney Note decyphered_ (Vol. vii., p. 568.).--I am extremely obliged to
MR. THOMPSON COOPER for his decyphered rendering of Sir Ralph Verney's note
of a speech or proceeding in parliament. The note itself is not now in my
possession, but I have requested the owner to be good enough to re-collate
it with the original, and if any mistakes should appear in the copy, or the
printing (which is very likely), I will give you notice of the fact, that
the doubtful words in MR. COOPER's version may, if possible, be set right.
Students in the art of decyphering may be pleased to have the key to the
cypher recorded in {18} your pages. I therefore give it you as discovered
by MR. COOPER, and beg, in the strongest way, to reiterate my thanks to
that gentleman.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18,
f, r, k, t, b, h, s, w, c, g, p, d, a, e, i, o, u,
20, 22, 27, 28.

The cyphers (if any) for _j, q, y, z_ have not been discovered, and the
numbers 1, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26 remain unappropriated.
