⁷ FQ, vi. i. uses the name Briana. This is the name of the chief heroine of the early Mirrour volumes, occurring first in 1578. Spenser may have drawn the names Briana and Brianor from the Mirrour. The babe rescued from the bear (vi, iv) I shall elsewhere show is from the Mirrour (1578). While this MS was in progress, Mrs. Josephine W. Bennett's Evolution of “The Faerie Queene ”appeared. At p. 152n., Mrs. Bennett mentions both Briana and the bear as having analogues in the Mirrour.

⁸ Mrs. Bennett, op. cit., suggests that resemblances between FQ vi and the Mirrour are “very general ”and that “On the whole, it seems probable that Spenser read this romance, probably rather late in the development of his long poem.”
