On the bell of the Guildhall at Lincoln is the 

 following inscription : 



" Cum quis campanam reseret sacrum bonus audit ; 

 Et curiam planam fore cum scitote replaudit." 



The collocation of the words is most extraor- 

 dinary, and renders it no easy matter to catch 

 the intended meaning. Am I right in supposing 

 it to be the following ? 



« When first a good man hears the bell. 

 Let him his bag with speed untie ; 

 When next it rings he'll know full well 

 The hall is clear'd, and homeward hie."

Bromo-iodide of Silver. — I have not been able to write 

 to you before this on the much-contested subject of Me. 

 Reade's bromo-iodide of silver, on account of several 

 other engagements which have pressed on me of late ; and 

 I find that Mr. Reade has inferred that by my silence I 

 tacitly admit his proof of the cas^ whereas on the con- 

 trary I find in it no proof at all. I do not see why Mk. 

 Reade should repudiate my theory that " the sensibility 

 of the iodide of silver thrown down from his solution 

 differs onlv from that of the ordinary precipitate from the 

 double iodide, inasmuch as it is possibly precipitated in 

 an allotropic form," and should then directly argue for a 

 similar case, viz. that there are two bromo-iodides, one 

 made by my method, ami partly soluble in ammonia, and 

 the other by his, and insoluble in that menstruum.^ But 

 I think I now come forward armed with most convincing 

 proof against him, and will ask him only to try the fol- 

 lowing experiment. Make in a long test-tube his solution 

 of bromide of silver in iodide of potassium, add some 

 water to throw down the silver, and filter to separate the
