NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 168. 



A. S. T. The line is from Prior : 



" Fine by degrees and beautifully less." 



T. M. G. (Worcester) w thanked. As the entire document 

 would not occup!/ any great space, we shall be obliged by the oppor- 

 tunity of inserting it. 



Notes on Old liOtiooH have only been thrust aside. They are 

 intended for early insertion. 



M. B. C. We fear this cannot be avoided. The only consolation 

 is, the additional interest with which the volumes will be regarded 

 a century hence. 



N. C. L., who writes respecting Shaw's Stafford MSS., ijre- 

 quested to say how a communication may be forwarded to him. 



A Reader, who writes respecting the " Arnold Family," the 

 tame. 



W. S.'i (Sheffield) communications are at press, and shall have 

 early attention. 



J. E. L. !S thanked. We can assure him that the present result 

 qfmuch consideration and many communications, both by letter 

 and personally, is to impress us with the feeling that the majority 

 approve. The book-men shall, however, be no losers. 



New Ordinaky of Arms. The anonymous Correspondent on 

 this subject will obtain the information of which he is in search on 

 rtference to its Editor, Mr. J. W. Papworth, 14 a. Great Marl- 

 borough Street, London. 



Aldiborontophoskophornio — World without a Sdn. The 

 many Correspondents who have replied to these Queries are 

 thanked. 



C. (Pontefract) is requested to forward copies of the Queries in 

 question. 



Rev. E. B. (B***) is requested to state the subject of his com- 

 munication. In his last very extraordinary letter he has omitted 

 this i7nportant piece of information. 



C. E. F., who complains of the disappearance of a portion of 

 the collodion film at the spot where the hyposulphite of soda is 

 applied, is informed that this is by no means an uncommon occur- 

 rence, and indicates the feeble action of the light at the present time 

 of year. By using the glass a little larger than is required, as has 

 bee7i before recommended, and pouring the hyposulphite of soda 

 on the portion which is to be cut off', and allowing it to flow over 

 the picture, the defect will generally be avoided. A 7nuck stronger 

 solution of the hyposulphite of soda may be used — say, one ounce 

 to two ounces of water ; and then, by preserving the solution, nwrf 

 using it over and over again, a more agreeable picture is produced. 

 The solution, when it becomes weak, may be refreshed by a few 

 crystals of the fresh salt added to it. 



F. W. If the bath of nitrate of silver produces the semi-opaque 

 appearance upon the collodion, in all probability there is no hypo- 

 sulphite of soda in the bath: three or four drops of tincture of 

 iodine added to each ounce of the solution of nitrate of silver in the 

 bath, often acts very beneficially. All doubtful solutions qf nitrate 

 of silver it is well to precipitate by means of common salt, collect 

 the chloride, and reduce it again to its ?netatlic state. The paper 

 process described by Dr. Diamond in our 166/A Number is calcu- 

 lated both for positives and negatives. 



" Notes and Queries " is published at noon on Friday, so that 

 the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcel, 

 and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.

 STRELSY, by REV. W. HAMILTON 

 DRUMMOND,D.D., M.R.S.A. 



" A graceful addition to the lover of Ancient 

 Minstrelsy, whether he be Irishman or not. 

 A man need not be English to enjoy the Chevy 

 Chace, nor Scotcli to value tlie Border Min- 

 strelsy. The extracts we have given from Dr. 

 Drummond's work, so full offeree and beauty, 

 will satisfy him, we trust, he need not be Irish 

 to enjoy the fruits of Dr. D.'s labours."— 2'Ae
