Perhaps the following Notes may be considerea 

 of sufficient interest for insertion in " N. & Q." 

 My copy of the Gazetteer (2nd edit.) was Dr. 

 Bliss's, and contains a few cuttings from cata- 



logues and MS. additions. I shall be glad if room 

 can be found in some future number for a list of 

 a few place* where printing has been carried on, 

 not mentioned in Dr. Cotton's admirable book.

 from " Le Voleur " of Oct. 1836, gives this

 first book ever printed at Valenciennes, 

 and which is at the same time the oldest 

 specimen of typography known in the 

 north of France, has just arrived in 

 France from England. It was at one 

 time sold in London for 61. 8»., and at the 

 sale of Bishop Heber's books it fetched
