* The above ancient fragment was presented by Sir John Trevelyan, Bart, to the British Museum in the spring of 1828, and it now forms No. 7138 among the Additional Manuscripts. It had been previously communicated by Sir Walter Calverley Trevelyan to the late Mr. Petrie, who, in the subjoined note, thus expressed his opinion of its value:—

MY DEAR SIR, Tower, Bee. 8, 1827.

I beg you will accept my best thanks for the Seven Bishops, who have been for some time in my custody. It is an extremely curious and interesting document, and had it been seen two centuries ago it would have spared half a dozen ecclesiastical historians, &c. the trouble of writing at least five folio pages of absurd conjectures, and have enabled them at once to come to the right conclusion : thus, whatever truth there may be in the main story, its circumstances are fabulous, as here given.

I am, &c. H. PETRIE.

To W. C. Trevelyan, Esq.
