_Incumbents of Church Livings in Kent._--I have by me the following MS. note:--"A list of B.A.'s graduated at Cambridge from 1500 to 1735 may be found in 'Additional MSS. British Museum, No. 5,585.'" Will any of your correspondents inform me if this reference is correct, and if the list can be examined?
Is there in the British Museum or elsewhere a list of incumbents of church livings in Kent (with name and birthplace) from 1600 to 1660?
_York Buildings Company._--This company existed about the middle of the last century. I shall be glad to be informed where the papers connected with it are to be met with, and may be referred to.
_Saying ascribed to Montaigne._--The saying, "I have here only made a nosegay of culled flowers, and have brought nothing of my own but the thread that ties them," is usually ascribed to Montaigne. In what part of his works are these words to be found? I heard doubts expressed of their genuineness some years ago by a reader of the _Essays_; and my own search for them has also proved hitherto unsuccessful.
"_Modum promissionis_."--Will any of your readers help to interpret the following expression in a mediæval author:--
"(Ut vulgò loquitur) modum promissionis ostendit?"
I have reason to think that _modum promissionis_ means "a provisional arrangement:" but by whom, and in what common parlance, was this expression used?
_Roman Catholic Theology._--Is there any work containing a list of Roman Catholic theological works published in the English language from the year 1558 to 1700?
_Wife of Edward the Outlaw._--Can any of your correspondents inform me who was the wife of Edward the Outlaw, and consequently mother of Margaret of Scotland, and ancestress of the kings of England?
The account adopted by most historians is that Canute, in 1017, sent the two sons of Edmund Ironside to the king of Denmark, whence they were transferred to Solomon, king of Hungary, who gave his sister to the eldest; and, on his death without issue, married the second Edward to Agatha, daughter of the Emperor Henry II. (or, in some accounts, Henry III., or even, in Grafton's _Chronicles_, called Henry IV.), and sister to his own queen.
That Edward the Outlaw returned to England in 1057, having had five children, of whom three survived: Edgar; Margaret, who in 1067 married King Malcolm of Scotland, and another daughter.
