_Line quoted by De Quincey._--"S.P.S." inquires who is the author of
the following line, quoted by De Quincey in the _Confessions of an
English Opium Eater_:--
"Battlements that on their restless fronts bore stars."
_Bishop Jewel's Papers._--It is generally understood that the papers
left by Bishop Jewel were bequeathed to his friend Dr. Garbrand, who
published some of them. The rest, it has been stated, passed from Dr.
G. into the possession of New College, Oxford. Are any of these still
preserved in the library of that college? or, if not, can any trace
be found of the persons into whose hands they subsequently came, or
of the circumstances under which they were lost to New College?
