ARMY LISTS : ' A SUCCESSION OF COLONELS ' (12 S. ix. 209). The 1758 Succession of Colonels is in the Bodleian Library.

In the ' Life of Bishop Ken,' by Canon W. L. Bowles, vol. ii., p. 184, a list of the non-juring clergy in the diocese of Lincoln is given, and amongst them appears the name of Mr. Watson, vicar of Milbrook. Although the name is spelt without an " e " and the word " vicar " occurs instead of " rector," it must refer to Millbrook, Beds, as there is no other place of that name in the Lincoln diocese. The names of the clergy who refused to take the new oaths in this diocese were : Mr. Wolley, rector of -, in the Marsh. Mr. Ingram Marc. Mr. Will Erskin, rector of Wrangle ; taken the oaths. Mr. Brown Bushet Dobren, rector of Sausthorp and Aswardby in Lindsey. Mr-. Herman Dun, rector of Waddington ; conformed. Mr. Rich. Carr, rector of Huntingdon, preb. of Lincoln. Mr. Charles Poklington, rector of Brington. Mr. John Lowthrop, rector of Coston, in Leicestersh. Mr. Hall, chaplain to the Countess of Kent. Mr. James Dallion, rector of Langley and Rosborrow, in Bucks. Mr. Berkley, rector of, in Bedfordsh. Mr. Watson, vicar of Milbrook. Mr. Dan. Pottinger, rector of, in Lincolnsh. Mr. Davenport, rector of Westraising, Lincolnshire ; conformed. Mr. Anth. May, chaplain to the Lord Ferrers, of Chartley. The total number of non-juring clergy mentioned in this book is 272, and it states under the list in the University of Oxford that there were many others not well known. I should like to know the name of the parish in Bedfordshire where Mr. Berkley was rector. L. H. CHAMBERS. Bedford. PHILOBIBLON SOCIETY (12 S.. ix. 250). This society was instituted in London im 1853 by R. Monckton Milnes, afterwards, Lord Houghton, and M. Sylvain Van de Weyer, Belgian Minister to the Court of St. James's. It was composed of persons interested in the history, collection, and peculiarities of books. It commenced with a membership of 35, which was afterwards (in 1857) raised to 40.
