Book called Tartuare.—William Wallace in London

By W. (I.)

1. Is there any one of your correspondents, learned or unlearned, who can oblige me with any account of a printed book called *Tartuare?* Its date would be early in the sixteenth century, if not before this. 2. After William Wallace had been surprised and taken, he was brought to London, and lodged, it is said, in a part of what is now known as Fenchurch Street. There is a reader and correspondent of yours, who, I am assured, can point out the site of this house, or whatever it was. Will he kindly assist archæological inquirers, by informing us whereabouts it stood?
