Note 5 — LIFE OF CERVANTES.

That learned Benedictine wrote an essay entitled Noticias de la Verdadera patria de Cervantes; y conjectura sobre la insula Barataria. (Observations relative to the native place of Cervantes, and conjectures respecting the Island of Barataria). It has never been printed, and is very scarce, but the writer of this memoir has recently had the opportunity of perusing an old MS. copy.
