Mackenzie Walcott, M.A. 



The Ducking Stool (Vol. vii., p. 260. ; Vol. viii., 

 p. 316. ; Vol. ix., p. 232.). — Permit me to direct 

 the attention of your correspondents as to this 

 obsolete instrument of punishment, to a paper on 

 the subject which is to be found in the Transac- 

 tions of the Kilkenny and South East of Ireland 

 ArchcBological Society, for the year 1853, vol. ii. 

 p. 254. B. L. 



Sir Thomas More's Works (Vol. xi., p. 324.). 

 — The best and fullest list of the works of this 

 writer, which seem to deserve a reprint on various 

 jyrounds, will be found in the first volume of Dr. 

 Dibdin's edition of the Utopia. It particularises 

 all the works, not merely those of the Utopia. 



Novus. 



Statue of William, III. at Bristol (Vol. xi., 

 p. 487.). — There is no truth in the report men- 

 tioned by your Paddington corresf)ondent P. G., 

 that the statue of William III. in Queen Square, 

 Bristol, is illuminated once in one hundred years. 

 It is illuminated when a general illumination of 

 the city takes places, and at no other time that 

 I am aware of. J. D. L.

 encroached upon the present A'umher, we are compelled to postpone until 

 next week several interesting articles on Earle's Microcosmography, the 

 Health of Tobacco Manufacturers. American Surnames, Orator Henley, 

 ^c, and our usual Notes on Books. 



Transmission op " Notes and Queries " by Post. We must remind our 

 readers that stamped N'umbers are re-transmitsible by post for fifteen 

 days fr<rm the date of publication ; but that the paper must always be so 

 folded that the whole of the stamp be distinctly visible on the outside. But 

 unstamped copies may be posted at any time by affixing a penny postage 

 stamp. 



We have now co»npZe<cdour Eleventh Volume, and must beg those who 

 desire complete sets to make early application for them, as very few j-e- 

 main. 



J. P. Will this Correspondent kindly furnish us with the names of the 

 articles to which he refers f 



J. M. M. A. We believe your friend is right. We were about to ask the

 43. 92. 124. 140. 286. 



Miss B. (near Newbury.) We have not thought it right to insert the 

 A dvertisement sent, being doubtful whether it would be the means of pro- 

 curing a really good article of the nature required. 



J. C. J. Our CorrespondetH is right in hit conjecture, that a carpenter's 

 square is an emblem of St Thomas, and a hatbert. sword, or lance that 

 of St. Matthias. See l>r. llusenbeth's Emblems of Saints.
