NOTES AND QUERIES.

in his profession. I do not know whether the 

 same custom prevailed in the other courts. 



Causidicus. 



In this city (Philadelphia) lawyers formerly 

 carried green bags. The custom has declined of 

 late years among the members of the legal pro- 

 fession, and it has been taken up by journeymen 

 boot and shoe makers, who thus carry their work 

 to and from the workshop. A green bag is now 

 the badge of a cordwaiuer in this city. Ziffit. 



Philadelphia. 



Bust of Luther (Vol. viii., p. 335.). — Ma. J. G. 

 Fitch asks for information respecting a bust of 

 Luther, with an inscription, on the wall of a house, 

 in the Dom Platz at Frankfort on the Maine. I 

 have learned, through a German acquaintance, 

 who has resided the greater part of his life in that 

 city, that the effigy was erected to commemorate 

 the event of Luther's having, during a short stay 

 in Frankfort, preached near that spot ; and that 

 the words surrounding the bust were his text on 

 the occasion. Pie adds that Luther at no period 

 of his life " lived for some years" at Frankfort, as 

 stated by Ma. Fitch. Alfked Smith. 



Grammar in relation to Logic (Vol. viii., 

 pp. 514. 629.). — H. C. K.'s remarks are of course 

 indisputable. But it is a mistake to suppose that 

 they answer my Query. In fact, had your cor- 

 respondent taken the trouble to consider the 

 meaning of my Query, he could not have failed to 

 perceive that the explanation I there gave of the 

 function of the conjunction in logic, is the same 

 as his. My Query had sole reference to grammar. 

 I would also respectfully suggest that anonymous 

 correspondents should not impute " superficial 

 views," or any other disagreeable thing, to those 

 who stand confessed, without abandoning the 

 pseudonym. C. Mansfield Ingeeby.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



Mr. Timbs announces for publication by subscription, 

 Curiosities of London : exhibiting the most rare and re- 

 mnrhable Objects of Interest in the Metropolis. Mr. 

 Timbs states, tbe authorities for bis work have been 

 four-and-twenty years in collection ; and that the ut- 

 most pains has been taken to verify names, dates, and 

 circumstances, so as to insure accuracy. In this labour 

 the author has been aided by the communications of 

 many obliging friends, as well as by his own recol- 

 lection of nearly fifty years' changes in the aspects of 

 "opulent, enlarged, and still increasing London." 



It is proposed to publish by subscription The Visit- 

 ation of the County of Northumberland, taken by Iii- 

 cbard St. George, Esq., Norroy King of Arms, and 

 Henry St. George, Esq., Blue Mantle Pursuivant of 



Arms, a.d. 1615. To be printed in tables on folio, with 

 the arms engraved on wood, price One Guinea; or 

 large paper, royal folio, Two Guineas; or large paper 

 with the arms emblazoned (of which only the number 

 subscribed for will be done), Five Guineas. Subscri- 

 bers' names will be received by Mr. John Gray Bell, 

 No. 17. Bedford Street, Covent Garden. 



The first number of the Antiquities of Shropshire, by 

 the Rev. It. W. Eyton, has just been issued for the 

 sake of determining tbe author's doubts as to whether 

 there is any general wish for such a publication. Should 

 the answer be in the negative, the author will neither 

 forget his obligation to present subscribers, nor the ex- 

 planation which he will farther owe them if the work 

 be discontinued. The work will extend at least to five 

 volumes, or twenty parts, and, according to the present 

 plan, will be completed in not less than five years. 

 Any subscriber will be at liberty to withdraw his 

 name, by giving notice to that effect within one month 

 after the publication of any fourth part, or completed 

 volume. Three hundred copies of Part I. have been 

 printed, but the number of the future parts will be 

 limited to those subscribed for within the next three 

 months. 



The Surrey Archceohgical Society propose bolding the 

 Inaugural General Meeting of the Society in South- 

 wark early in the month of February, and to exhibit 

 upon the occasion a collection of such objects of anti- 

 quarian interest relating to Surrey as may be con- 

 tributed for that purpose. Parties are invited to favour 

 the Society with the loan of such objects. 



Books Received. — A Peep at the Pixies, or Legends 

 of the West, by Mrs. Bray : written for the entertain- 

 ment of a family circle, these amusing records of the 

 doings of the little people will find favour with all 

 lovers of folk lore. — Ada's Thoughts, or the Poetry of 

 Youth, may be commended for its natural, simple, yet 



elevated tone Essay on Human Happiness, by C. B. 



Adderley, M.P. ; the first of a series of Great Truths 

 for Thoughtful Hours. A set of little books similar in 

 object and design to Pickering's well-known series of 

 Small Books on Great Subjects. — Beauties of Byron, 

 Verse and Prose. This selection, made for Murray's 

 Bailway Reading, will be acceptable to many who 

 would object to place the collected edition of the noble 

 bard's writings in tbe hands of the younger members 

 of their family. — Speeches on Parliamentary Reform, by 

 the Right Hon. T. 13. Macaulay. This new number 

 of Longman's Traveller's Library is well-timed, and 

 very acceptable.
