the will, is the statement correct ? A copy of ' Registrum Regale sive Catalogus Prse- positorum Sociorum et Alumnorum in Coll. Etonensi,' &c. (1774, 4to), is not available, but possibly some of the readers of ' X. & Q.' may be more fortunate, and will oblige me with the names and ages at matriculation of all the sons of Dr. Goad who were elected to King's from Eton. He is stated in ' D.N.B.' to have had ten sons. James, the youngest, is named in his father's will ; five are missing from it. MILTON.

WHEBLE'S ' LADY'S MAGAZINE.' In the biography of Crabbe itis said that in his youth he won a prize for a poem offered by a well-known publisher of the day, Wheble, in connexion with his Lady's Magazine.

TOPOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION FOR RE- SEARCH WORK. What are the best books, modern or otherwise, to refer to in order to identify the names of out-of-the-way places in England and Wales, including (besides parishes and villages) hamlets, manors, off- lying homesteads, &c., such as one often comes across in old wills and other ancient documents in obsolete and contracted spellings ?

Do any Gazetteers or Topographical Dictionaries fulfil the above requirements ?

Are there any such works dealing specially with Beds, Bucks, Cambs, Essex, Herts, Hunts, and Suffolk, either separately or collectively ?

I have seen Lewis's ' Topographical Dictionary ' mentioned, but do not know the work. Would it be suitable for my purpose ? If so, what is the best edition ?

In the search room at Somerset House there is ' A New Gazetteer of the British Islands,' by James A. Sharp, 2 vols., 1852. Is this considered a good work on the subject ? If so, what is the best edition ?

Please reply direct.

EDGAR MORTARA. The late Sir Culling Eardley Eardley, Bart., published in London in 1860 a pamphlet entitled ' La Veritable Histoire d'Edgar Mortara.' I am somewhat anxious to see it, and as the British Museum library does not contain a copy, can any reader of 'X. & Q.' advise me where one may be seen ? ISRAEL SOLOMONS.

JAMES WHITING. What is known of this gentleman, founder of The Atlas newspaper ? He died April 10, 1871, aged 94. - t
