Neither Wood (' Athense,' iii. 1028) nor 'D.N.B.' (Iviii. 198) mentions the ' Essay on Duelling ' among the works attributed to Robert Veel. Wood also omits to state that Veel's tutor at St. Edmund Hall was John March (v. ' Athena?,' iv. 373 ; ' D.N.B., xxx vi. 125).

THE PLAGUE IN LONDON, 1563.

IN the first vol time of the History of London in the " Victoria County History " Series reference is made to the severe outbreak of plague in the year 1563, in connexion with which reference the following record is of interest. It occurs amongst a collection of various historical extracts made, or caused to be made, in or before the year 1568, by William Lambarde, who was himself in London during the first half of 1563 ; and he records in his diary on 16 July :

" Anno 1563 ad Tusculanuin meum juxta Grenewiche pestis vitandse causa me contuli, fratre. Windhamo, et Louthero, sociiscomitatus."

Unfortunately the total of the deaths within the City does not agree with the sum of the totals of the individual parishes, but is some 143 in excess. Compared with the list on Ecclesiastical Map III. of the History, the records of the parishes of St. Mary Mounthaw, St. Mary Aldermanbury, and St. Peter -in-the-Tower are omitted. Perhaps they account for the excess. " Mychell in the Powltrie " should presumably be " Myl- dred in the Powltrie."
