NOTES AND QUERIES.

with any particulars of Gr. M°Iver and of Lis 

 acquaintanceship with the Ayrshire poet.

Louis Napoleon, President of France. — He is 

 called by the French "Napoleon III.," "the third 

 heir of the fourth race;" and I am informed that 

 the reason is, that the French will not admit that 

 the dynasty has ever ceased. 



I pass over Napoleon's absolute abdication for 

 himself, heirs, &c., and wish to inquire, supposing 

 the French are now correct, whether the president 

 is the third heir of the race, and Napoleon III. ?

Early Edition of Solinus. — Being unable to 

 refer to any copy of Panzer, I should be much 

 obliged if you, or one of your correspondents, 

 could furnish me with a description of the edition 

 of Solinus said to be printed by Schurener de 

 Bopardia about 1473. I have a copy which, 

 according to the description in Brunet's Manuel, 

 seems to be the edition in question, and should be 

 very glad to have the means of verifying my idea, 



I have a reference on the fly-leaf to Panzer, 

 vol. ii. 531. No. 700.; and also to Dibdin's Bibl. 

 Spenc, ii. p. 360. S. A. S, 



Bridgewater.

 li. In fine : Finis Laus Deo. Char. lat. Joh. Schu- 

 rener de Bopardia, sine sign. cust. et pagg. num. 

 lin. 36. foil. 120. 4 min." Dibdin (^Bibl. Spencer., 

 ii. 360, 361.) has given a long description of this edi- 

 tion, and states that it is AudifFredi {Edit. Rom., p. 

 385.) "who justly assigns the printing of it to the 

 press of Schurener de Bopardia at Rome: and that 

 neither Morelli nor Boni question such conclusion." 

 He further states, that " the Proheme or Preface, with 

 a table which immediately follows, occupies four leaves. 

 On the recto of the fifth leaf, we read this prefix to 

 the text of the author : ' De origine et teporibus urbis 

 Rome et menslbus et diebus intercalaribus. Capitu- 

 lum primum.'" The edition of 1473 was printed by 

 Jenson at Venice, and is noticed by Dibdin as the editio 

 princeps. ] 



Editions of the Prayer Booh prior to 1662. — 

 Where can I find a list of all the editions of the 

 Book of Common Prayer, from the First Book of 

 King Edward VI. to the last revision in 1661-2. 

 Such a list, with size, date, and printer's name, 

 will be very acceptable to me.

[Consult Liturgice Britannicce; or, the several Edi- 

 tions of the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of 

 England, from its Compilation to the last Revision, 8fc. ; 



By William Keeling, B.D. Second edition, 8vo. 1851. 

 The object of this work is for the Prayer Book to tell 

 its own history ; and in the prefatory matter the editor 

 has given a fac-simile of the title-pages of each edition 

 containing any variations. But the most valuable 

 work to consult on this subject is Mr. Pickering's Li- 

 brary Edition of the Books of Common Prayer, from 

 the first compilation in Edward VJ.'s reign to King 

 Charles II. 's Book, as settled at the Savoy Conference, 

 1662. Six vols, folio, 1845.]

As my own list is rather more complete than 

 that of Mr. Parkes in the Quarterly Journal of 

 Science (vol. xiii. pp. 36. 289.), referred to by 

 your correspondent Arterds, I shall not, perhaps, 

 be unnecessarily occupying your space in giving, 

 as shortly as is consistent with accurate descrip- 

 tions, a list of the literary journals published in 

 Great Britain to the date of the commencement of 

 the Monthly Review (1749). It will, at all events, 

 supply a bibliographical groundwork for a com- 

 plete enumeration of them ; and I trust will be 

 made, by the corrections and additions of your 

 correspondents, which I solicit the communication 

 of, as nearly perfect as it is possible to make a 

 catalogue of this nature. I have all the periodicals 

 noticed except those to which I have appended a 

 reference. 



1. — 1665. The Philosophical Transactions of the 

 Royal Society, which commenced in 1665, and 

 which contain reviews of books as well as original 

 papers, are entitled to the first place. This series 

 is too well known to render it necessary to describe 

 it further. 



2. — 1669. News from the Republic of Letters. 

 This I find noticed in a MS. memorial of George 

 Chalmers, in my possession, on the subject of Lite- 

 rary journals. I have not seen it. 



3. — 1681-2. Weekly Memorials for the Lnge- 

 nious, or an Account of Books lately set forth in 

 several Languages : London, printed for Henry 

 Faithorn and John Kersey, 4to. In fifty weekly 

 Numbers. First Number, January 16, 1681-2; 

 fiftieth Number, Monday, January 15, 1683 ; 

 pages, exclusive of Index, 390. The editor was 

 James Petiver. 



4. — 1682. Weekly Memorials for the Ingenious, 

 4to. • A rival journal, printed for Chiswell Crook, 

 &c. First Number, Monday, March 20, 1682; 

 twenty-ninth Number, Monday, September 25, 

 1682 ; pages 224. At the end of the last Number 

 is a notice that the Memorials will be intermitted 

 till the term. 



5. — 1687. The Universal Historical Bihliotheque, 

 or an Account of most of the considerable Books
