NOTES AND QUERIES.

fiaticti ta CmxttfgoslttaM. 



We are unavoidably compelled to postpone our usual Notes on 

 Books, &c. 



Mr. Ferguson, of the Exchequer Record Office, Dublin, re- 

 turns his best thanks to J. O. for his most acceptable present of 

 a book of poems. 



ff Will An Old F.S.A., F.R.S., F.S.A., who writes to us that 

 the " Eyre drawings are authentic," oblige us with his name ? It 

 is obvious that anonymous te&timony can have little weight in 

 such a case, when opposed to that of known and competent 

 authorities. 



*" Working Man will find the English equivalents for French 

 we ghts and measures, and much of the information he desires, in 

 Wiilich's Popular Tables. 



' Bb. (Bradford) will probably find inthe Journal of a Naturalist, 

 White's Selborne, and the valuable series oj works illustrative of 

 the Natural History of England, published by Van Voorst of 

 Paternoster Row, the materials of which he stands in need, and 

 references to other authorities. 



C. R. will find scattered through our Volumes many modern 

 instances of the mode of discovering the drowned, to which his 

 communication refers. . ' 



Abiiba. Our Correspondent should procure a valuable tract, 

 entitttd An Argument for the Greek Origin of the Mo .ogram 

 IHS," published by the Cambridge Camden Society (Masters), 

 which clearly shows that this symbol informed out of the first two 

 and the last letter of the Greek word IH20T2. 



P. H. F. The communication for warded on " Lines attributed 

 to Hudibras," will be found in our 1st Volume, p. '210. 



F. T. The Weekly Pacquet and the Popish Courant is one 

 and the same periodical, the latter being merely nn appendix to 

 the former, and printed continuously, as shown by the running 

 paginal figures ; so that when Chief Justice Scroggs prohibited 

 the publication of the former, he at the same lime suppressed the 

 latter. 



A Beginner. We again repeat that we cannot point out 

 particular warehouses for the purchase of photographic materials. 

 Our advertising columns will show where they are to be pur- 

 chased at every variety of price. 



C. K. P. (Newport). From the specimen forwarded, we doubt 

 whether the paper is Turrier's ; if it is, it is not his desirable 

 make. The negative it is evident, from Us redness and want of 

 gradation of tint throughout, has been far loo long exposed. 

 We have seen the brown spots complained of occur when the paper 

 has been too long excited before use. 



E. Y. (Rochester). It is probable that the spot of which you 

 complain is from light refii cted from the bottom oj the camera, 

 not from the interior of the lens. If so, the application of a piece 

 of black velvet would remedy this. As the spot is always in one 

 place, it must depend upon light reflected from some one spot. 



M. De S. (Tendring). We trust to be able to send a very 

 satisfactory reply in the course of a few days. We have delayed 

 answering only from a desire to accomplish our Correspondent's 

 object. 



Our Eighth Volumb is now bound and ready for delivery, 

 price 10s. 6d., cloth, boards. J few sets of the whole Eight Vo- 

 lumes are being made up, price 42. is For these early application 



is desirable. 



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

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

 and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.

 Square (established a.d. 1785), sole manufac- 

 turers of the ROYAL PIANOFORTES, at 25 

 Guineas each. Every instrument warranted. 

 The peculiar advantages of these pianofortes 

 arc best described in the following professional 

 testimonial, signed by the majority of the lead- 

 ing musicians of the age: — " We, the under- 

 signed members of the musical profession, 

 having carefully examined the Poyal Piano- 

 fortes manufactured by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 MAINE & CO., have great pleasure in hearing 

 testimony to their merits and capabilities. It 

 appears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a richer and finer 

 tone, more elastic touch, or more equal tem- 

 perament, while the elegance of their construc- 

 tion renders them a handsome ornament for 

 the library, boudoir, ordrawing-room. (Signed)
