Printed by NICHOLS, SON, and BENTLEY, at CICERO'S HEAD, Red Lion Passage, Fleet-str. London; where all Letters to the Editor are particularly desired to be addressed, POST-PAID.

INDEX INDICATORIUS.

R. E. R. requests a copy of Sir Philip Sidney's Letter to his Sister Lady Pembroke, prefixed as a Dedication to the Arcadia in some editions; and of Sir William Temple's Letter to Lady Essex, on the death of her daughter.

Berkeley Family.-Our Coventry Correspondent requests us to say, that in the Draper's Chapel in St. Michael's Church, is a raised monument of grey marble, on which is no inscription, but according to an engraved view of it in Dugdale's Warwickshire, it is there represented to have been erected for the Lady Katherine, wife of Henry Lord Berkeley, and sister to Thomas Howard Duke of Norfolk.

A Correspondent asks, By what authority the Lord Lyon King-at-Arms allows all the Scotch Baronets, both of Nova Scotia and of England, to bear Supporters, nay, even private gentlemen,-while, as appears from the following extract, (which he thinks was copied from the zette) no such power is in the EarlMarshal of England-" Although the privilege of bearing Supporters be limited to the Peers of the Realm, the Knights of his Majesty's Order, and the Proxies of the Blood-Royal at Installations, exeept in such cases wherein under particular circumstances His Majesty has been pleased to grant his especial license for the use thereof; yet, in order to give a further testimony of his Majesty's particular approbation of the services of the said Sir William Sydney Smith, he has been graciously pleased to allow him to bear for Supporters to his arms," &c. &c.

M. H. inquires, Who was the Author of a little volume, which is, he believes, of not common occurrence, intituled "Moral Essays and Discourses upon several subjects, chiefly relating to the present times; by a Person of Honour." London, 12mo, 1690,pp.215.-In the titlepage of his copy there is written "Authr. Ld. Viscount Shanon."-In Park's Edition of Walpole's "Royal and Noble Authors," vol. V. p. 207. there is an Account of Francis Boyle Viscount Shanon, and that his Lordship published "Discourses and Essays, useful for the vain, modish Ladies and their Gallants; as also upon several subjects, moral and divine, in two parts;" London, 1696, 8vo. 2nd edit. dedicated to Elizabeth Countess of Northumberland: but no mention is made of the volume above specified. Perhaps it may be written by the Honourable Robert Boyle, as there are three tracts of his advertised as published by him at the end of the volume-this book, however, is not mentioned in the list of his works in the New General Biographical Dictionary

G. V. requests some of our weil-informed Correspondents to state the process of manufacturing Yeast-the means of preserving its quality and what treatise presents itself in the English or French language on that subject, or on baking bread in general.

The communications offered by our Correspondent I. will be acceptable. The request of GULIELMUS is complied with.
