NOTES AND QUERIES.

jects. Works of that description, being generally com- 

 piled and printed for the gratification of family con- 

 nexions, are handed down from generation to gene- 

 ration with more than ordinary care ; consequently 

 fewer chances occur of their leaving their original repo- 

 sitories, than may be expected with regard to works of a 

 more ephemeral interest, as poems, tales, and travels. 

 Moule's Bibliotheca Heraldica, and Martin's Biblio- 

 graphical Catalogue of Books privately printed in Eng- 

 land, contain notices of many curious privately printed 

 Genealogies, but by no means a complete list. To 

 supply this deficiency, Mr. Charles Bridger, F. S. A., 

 has issued proposals for publishing by subscription A 

 Catalogue of Privately Printed Books on Genealogy and 

 Kindred Subjects, to form a handsome volume in im- 

 perial 8vo. 



The question of the amount of the Annual Sub- 

 scription to the Society of Antiquaries having been 

 settled, it only remains for Mr. Hawkins to nominate 

 his Committee, and for that Committee to do its work 

 well. The Committee, as proposed by Mr. Hawkins, 

 was to consist of the following gentlemen : Sir F. 

 Dwarris, Mr. Foss, Mr. Hey wood, M.P., Mr. Oeta- 

 vius Morgan, M.P., Mr. Ouvry, Capt. Smyth, and Mr. 

 Tite. There being, however, a very general expres- 

 sion of feeling on the part of the meeting that Mr. 

 Hawkins himself ought to form one of the body, Mr. 

 Foss begged to be allowed to make way for Mr. Haw- 

 kins, which arrangement was eventually acceded to.

The number of li.e.v\AV.?, to Minor Qvemes waiting for insertion, 

 and our wish to continue our usual practice of including, as far 

 as possible, such Replies m the same volume as the Queries to 

 which they refer, will, we are sure, be considered a sufficient 

 reason why so large a proportion of this and the two following 

 lumbers sliould be occupied with such communications ; and for 

 asking for the indulgence of our Querists.

 be sent ?

 PALE BRANDY is of a peculiarly 

 wholesome character, possessing all the virtues 

 of the finest old COGNAC, without its acidity ;

 or hot water. In French bottles with French 

 labels, 30s. per dozen, bottles Included, or lis.

 consumption consequent upon universal ap- 

 proval could enable us to afford our pure

 charged for the coarse whisky-flavoured spirit 

 so largely imported under that denomination.
