_Sir Stephen Fox._--Will any of your intelligent correspondents inform
me whether Sir Stephen Fox, the ancestor of the present Lord Holland and
the Earl of Ilchester, had any brothers or sisters, and if so, whether
they had any children, and who are the legal representatives of those
collateral branches, if any?

_Antony Alsop._--Will any of your correspondents kindly tell me who
Antony Alsop was? A thin Quarto volume of Latin Odes was published in
1753, with the following title: "Antonii Alsopi AEdis Christi olim Alumni
Ordarum Libri Duo," Londoni, 1753. They are extremely elegant, and
deserving the attention of all lovers of Latin poetry. I have also
another volume, "Latin and English Poems, by a Gentleman of Trinity
College, Oxford," Quarto London, 1738. In this latter volume, with but
two or three exceptions, the poems are very obscene, yet I find one or
two of Alsop's odes in it. Could any of your readers tell me if both
volumes are by the same author? Was Alsop at Trinity College and
subsequently a student of Christ Church?
