In your British Topography, vol. I. p. 607, you have mentioned a tract relative to the burning of St. Paul's steeple, June 4, 1561, printed by Seres in 1563. By the title page it should seem to be an addition to a former tract published by Seres; and in a volume of black-letter tracts, 12mo, which my friend Mr. Latham not long since picked up, there is, as I apprehend, the book alluded to. Imagining from your silence that you may not have seen it, and it being very short, I have transmitted a copy of it. Mr. Herbert, the Continuator of Typographical Antiquities, to whom the tract has been shewn, had never met with it; but he is inclined to think that all the material circumstances have been inserted in our chronicles. Whether he is right in his conjecture, no person is more competent to determine than yourself. As far as I can recollect there are incidents of which I was not before apprized.
