NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Nov. 24. 1855. 



Omina to the. great lenqth of Mk. Fitzpathick's List of Remarkable 

 Men born in the same Year, uhich we were utiwilling to divide, ami the 

 number of Rbplibs to Minor Quibibs waiting for insertion, w^ have 

 been compelled to omit our usual Notes on Books, Tjists op Book( 

 W*NTBD, many Noiicbj to Corrbspondenti, and the numerouM papert 

 whichhave readied us on tliesubjecl o/' Scott and the "Waverley Novels. 



JoNins liBTTKRS. We hare to acknowledge several communications on 

 this subject. Ma. Hamilton's letter is in the main an inquiry as to the 

 sale of Wilkes' property at Aylesbury ; our Correspondent not being 

 aware that it was so sold forty years before Wilkes' death. Mr. Cramp 

 (irAo has not yet replied to the Queries put to him in this Journal) icnteji 

 to call attention to tltose passages in tJie Letter to the King, v/iicli, as he 

 alkaes, nearly annihilated the popularity qf Wilkes. New York sug- 

 qesti the propriety of printing fat'.-similes of the wrttinga of the suspected 

 authors, and of wafci""? a bibliography of Junius. The first has already 

 been done in the works In which the various claims are asserted. The latter 

 we hopemti'i some day npvear in the columns of " N. & Q." The work 

 o» Junius, respecting which New York inquires, is Mr. Smith's ingenious 

 Introduction to the 3rd vol. nffhe GrenvlUe Papers. 



Bank Note for a Million. We have a letter for y, the Querist on 

 Ms subject (ante p. 325.). How shnll it he forwarded?

DEALER IN MARINE LIVING 

 ANIMALS, 



SEA-WEED, ARTIFICIAL SEA-WATER, 

 AND MARINE AND FRESH- WATER 

 AQUARIA. 



A Stock of small Aquaria, ready fitted up 

 with Weed, Shells. Rockwork, and Marine 

 Life, always on hand, at very moderate prices. 



Valisneria, Chara, Nitella, Anacharis, and 

 other living fresh-water Plants, Insects, Mol- 

 lusks, Fjsl), &c. 



THE MARINE AQUARIUM. 



A great variety of Marine Animal Life can 

 be preserved in health and vigour in these 

 Aquaria, without trouble to the possessor. 

 The difficulty of procuring a supply of Sea- 

 water for occasional renewal has been for 

 some time completely overcome by the suc- 

 cessful composition of Artificial Sea-water, 

 in which the Animals and Plants thrive and 

 grow. 



The smaller Aquaria, when fitted up with 

 pieces of rock, shells and sea- weed, and stocketl 

 with animal life, are objects of the highest 

 interest and beauty ; and tirey yield to the 

 observer the hitherto unattainable pleasure of 

 watcl^ipg at his ease, in his own apartments , 

 tlie curious inhabitants of the Ocean.
