R. R. R. (Cambridge) is thanked. We have every reason to put 

 faith in the writer of the paper to which he refers. 



R. F. L. will find a Note on the line by Borbonius : 

 " Omnia inutantur nos et inutaraur in illis," 

 M " N. & Q." Vol. i., pp. 234. 419. 



J. B. R. (Helper). The Derbyshire Folk-lore will be very ac- 

 ceptable. 



Sexagbnarius Alter. The article respectiug " Black Rood of 

 Scotland" is in the printer's hands. The other has not beca lost 

 sight of. 



E. G. "When Greeks join Greeks," &c., is from Nat Lee' i 

 " Alexander the Great." 



Tee Beb. The communication of our Norwich correspondent 

 has been duly forwarded. 



H. M. W. will find his quotation on " Stops In Printing" at 

 p. 133. of the present t'oluvie. 



We are compelled to postpone replying to many correspondents ; 

 to some who have given us their names we will communicate by 

 letter. 



The correspondent who writes to us on the subject of Collins is 

 thanked; the date in the Queri/ (Vol. v., p. 227.) is certainly 

 wrong : it should have been ITSO. We do not publish Hayley's 

 Epitaph, as it has beet, we believe, frequently printed. Our corre- 

 spondent has been anticipated too {see p. H31.) in the excellent illus- 

 tration of the word Bigot from Trench's " Study of Words." 



" Notes and Queuies " is published at noon on Friday, so that 

 the Country Booksellers mai/ receive Copies in that night's parcels, 

 and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.
