Tit. i.  Sec. 1.)” Schmeller, in his Bayrishces Wort.  B. v. Lud-aigen, also points to the connection of Lud with hluz-hlut, sors, portio; but he rather inclines to derive it from the Low-Latin, ALLODIUM.  It appears to me that the converse of this is most likely to have been the case, and that this very word LEDS or LAEDS is likely to furnish a more satisfactory etymology of ALLODIUM than has hitherto been offered.]

BP.  COSIN’S MSS.—­INDEX TO BAKER’S MSS.

Your correspondent “J.  SANSOM” (No. 19. p. 303.) may perhaps find some unpublished remains of Bp.  Cosin in Baker’s MSS.; from the excellent index to which (Cambridge, 1848, p. 57.) I transcribe the following notices, premising that of the volumes of the MSS. the first twenty-three are in the British Museum, and the remainder in the University Library, (not, as Mr. Carlyle says in a note in, I think, the 3d vol. of his Letters. &c. of Cromwell in the library of Trin.  Coll.).

    “Cosin, Bp.—­
      Notes of, in his Common Prayer, edit. 1636, xx. 175. 
      Benefactions to See of Durham, xxx. 377-380. 
      Conference with Abp. of Trebisond, xx. 178. 
      Diary in Paris, 1651, xxxvi. 329. 
      Intended donation for a Senate-House, xxx. 454. 
      Letters to Peter Gunning, principally concerning
        the authority of the Apocrypha, vi. 174-180.
        230-238. 
      Manual of Devotion, xxxvi. 338.”

As the editors of the Index to Baker’s MSS. invite corrections from those who use the MSS., you will perhaps be willing to print the following additions and corrections, which may be of use in case a new edition of the Index should be required:—­
