The question is, who was this "unfortunate lady?" She was
the wife of Ralph, Earl of Westmoreland, who was attainted about the year
1570, and died in Flanders anno 1584. I learn this from a MS. of the
period, now before me, entitled _Some Account of the Sufferinges of the
Ladye Jane of Westmorlande, who dyed in Exile. By T.C._ Perhaps at some
future time I may trouble your readers with an account of this highly
interesting MS.

_Gray and Dodsley._--As the HERMIT OF HOLYPORT has repeated his Queries on
Gray and Dodsley, I must make a second attempt to answer them with due

2. _Dodsley_: The first edition of the important poetical miscellany which
bears his name was published in 1748, in three volumes, 12mo.
