Dedications of Isle of Wight Chw'ches (2"'' S. 

 lii. 125. 178.) — Whippingham: St. Mildred, on 

 the authority of Lewis. The number of new 

 churches given in JNIr. Jones' list is far from com- 

 plete. Thus, under Whippingham are St. Paul's, 

 Barton ; and East Cowes, St. James's. Under 

 Northwood, West Cowes Chapel ; ancient, being 

 one of the few built in the time of the Common- 

 wealth : 



" Owing to the peculiar spirit of that age, it was not 

 consecrated until 1662, and then was not dedicated, as is 

 customary, to any particular saint." — Barber's Isle of 

 Wight, p. 35. 



West Cowes : Holy Trinity. In Carisbrook pa- 

 rish, the Castle chapel, ancient, dedicated to St. 

 Nicholas (rebuilt, 1738). Newport, St. John's 

 and St. Paul's, both modern. St. Peter's, Haven 

 Street, is in the parish of Newchurch (not Ar- 

 reton, as stated). R. L.

Our desire to include in the present No. (the last of the Volume) as 

 many Replies to Minor Queries as possible has induced us to omit 

 many very interesting papers which are in type, as ivell as our usual 

 Notes on Books. 



Authorship of ihb Wavbhlky Novels. We are requested to correct 

 an en-or in Ma. Skene's letter. In 2nd S. iii. 482. col. 1. 1. 12. from bot- 

 tom, after " Hir Walter himself took the opportunity," t/te words " of 

 declaring " were accidentally omitted.

 attention of our readers to the extraordinary collection of portraits of 

 Mary and other Marian reliques now exhibiting at the rooms of the 

 ArcliaBological Institute, Sullblk Street, Pall Mali, but are compeued to 

 postimne doing so until next loeek.

 around him," there having been no means to provide a coffin. See " N. &
