P. 110, xxv. 9, for medecyes read medecynes.

P. 131. This Romance is reprinted from the re-impression made at Edinburgh, 4to, 1827, but it was not observed, till too late, that most of the mere

errors of the press in the old edition of 1508 were there corrected. The emendations therefore now made are such as escaped the notice of the recent editor, or were neglected by him.

P. 137, l. 166, for And we should, no doubt, read In.

P. 138, 1. 191, the edition of 1508 reads consing, not cousing.

P. 143, 1. 300, for mynde (sic edit.) we should read myude.

P. 161, 1. 779, for sen speir the editor of 1827 conjectures sen ye fpeir, but I think my own emendation more correct.

P. 182, l. 1332, for be hald read behald.

P. 182, 1. 1334, the edit. 1508 has douffipere, which was altered injudiciously in edit.

The name of Gromer Somer Joure would seem to have been taken from the printed Morte d'Arthur, (vol. ii. p. 392, ed. Southey,) and, consequently, prove the poem to be later than the year 1485. The correct reading is Gromer Gromerson, or Gromorssum, as appears from vol. i. p. 231.

P. 298, 1. 300. In reference to Gyngolyne, (see p. 347) may be added the title of the romance in the Lambeth MS. 305, f. 73. "A tretys of one Gyngelayne, othirwise namyd by Kyng Arthure Ly beus disconeus, that was bastard son to Sir Gaweyne."

NOTES.

P. 304, 1. 26. A third portion of the same romance, but imperfect at the beginning and end, is preserved in a MS. in Trinity College, Dublin, marked D. 4. 12. It is written in a late hand of the fifteenth century, and commences towards the end of the third passus, and ends in the middle of the twelfth. It occupies forty quarto leaves.

P. 307, l. 12, for Helie de Borron read Walter Map, and dele the remainder of the

Since I wrote this note I have found Arthur's expedition to Jerusalem mentioned in one of the interpolated passages of Nennius, ap. Gale, cap. 63. He is stated to have caused a consecrated cross to be made, by which he conquered the Pagans, and of which portions were preserved at Wedale in Lothian. Also in the Roman d'Alexandre, composed by Alexandre de Paris in the twelfth century, he makes Arthur march to the extremity of the East, and erect two golden statues, which were subsequently discovered by Alexander. See De la Rue, Essais sur les Bardes, vol. i. p. 35.

GLOSSARY.

Add to the reference, xxxv. 2, MS. D.

Add here DERUELY, GK. 2334, and dele the word and reference under DERNLY.

P. 379, v. ESTE. Dele this word and reference.

N.B. The last poem in the Appendix, No. VIII. was discovered too late to be cited in the Glossary, but there are but few words of any obscurity, and most of these appear to be corrupt forms occasioned by the carelessness of the scribe, as in the case of lute, 1. 238, and scott, 1. 477.
