W. H. M. W. The Hernlrls' visitation for Wiltshire in 1623 

 will he found in the British Museum, Harl. MSS. 116.'>. and 1443. 

 See too Sims's Indexes to Pedigrees, S(c. 



Ralpho'x communication sh'iuld have been addressed to the 

 writer, quoting the lines on which he comments. 



Gammer Gvrton's suggestion is a very good one ; and we can 

 prumiic that our Christmas Eve Number shall be rich in Folk 

 Lore. 



G. S. M., who desires information respecting the hist'irt/ of 

 Newspiiperx, their prugrexs and sta'istics, is referred to F. K. 

 Bunt's Fourth Estate, a CoTitrihution towards a History of News- 

 papers and of I lie Liberty of the Press, 2 vols. Hvo., Ion on, 1850. 

 Several articl. s on the sul/ject will be found in our own columns. 



Jf F S. A. applied to the proper authorities, we cannot doubt 

 that the information he received is true. 



3. W. N. K. We have referred the dncriptions of the pictures 

 to one of the very hifihrst authorities in London, who is of opinion 

 that it the funrks an the liack are genuine, they are the ?narks of 

 the owner, not of the artist. 



J. T. The volume Remarqiies de Pierre Motteux sur Rabelais 

 is no doubt a translation of the notes n hich Mnttrux inserted in 

 the F.nglish version, of wliich the first three books were translated 

 by Vrquhart, the other two Ity himself. This translation has, we 

 think, been reprinted hy Buhn, 



3. W. T. The monastic work inquired after is noticed 6y 

 another Correspondent at p. 569. of the present Number. 



Dr. Diamond on the Simplicity of the Calotype Process is, on 

 ace "int of its letijith from lite many additions made to it, un- 

 avoidably postponed until next uuek. 



T. L. (Llington). The ingredients referred to are all used by 

 Le Gray, the or iginntnr if the vnxrd-pnper process. They are 

 supposed mil only to increase the sensitiveness of the paoer. Iiut to 

 odrt til its keeping qitaliii' s. We have no doubt that a letter ad- 

 dressed to the College of Chemistry will find the gentleman to 

 whom you refer. 



D G (Liverpool). It would be not only difficult but more ex- 

 pensive to prepare your o"n sulphuric el her ; hut ve again 

 assure Ihal the best i< to he procured ai from bs to (is. per pound, 

 and wholesale at consiilerahty less. You may satisfy yourself by 

 a reference to our adfeitising columns. 



F. H. D. Albumenized paper will keep many dnys after it has 

 been excited wlh a foriy-srain sola' ion of nit rate if sili<er. We 

 have used Wh itmnn's and I'urner's papers to-eniy diys old, and 

 with perfectlif satislnci n-y results. The thin Cnnsm is of all 

 otheis most disposed lo broinn ; bit it is preferable to nil others in 

 use from the richness of the tints produced and its rapidity of 

 printing.
