NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 59. 



the diiferent sections of Christendom, with a view to 

 their ultimate reunion. Like its predecessors, the 

 volume is amiable and interesting, but being historical 

 ratlier than doctrinal, is scarcely calculated to give the 

 uninformed reader a very jjrcci^e view of the ci-eed of 

 the Greek Church. It may serve, however, to assure us 

 that the acrimony of religious discussion and the mu- 

 tual jealousy of Chuicli and State, which disquiets so 

 many minds at present, was more than matched in the 

 days of Constantine and Atlianasius. 



The last part of the Transactions of the Academy of 

 Sciences of Berlin contains two papers by Jacob 

 Grimm, which will doubtless be perused with great 

 interest in this country. The one on the ancient 

 practice of burning the bodies of the dead (Ueher das 

 Verhrennen der Lelchen) will be of especial interest to 

 English antiquaries ; but the other, from its connexion 

 with the great educational questions which now occupy 

 so much of public attention, will probably be yet more 

 attractive. It is entitled, Ueher Sc/iiile Universitut 

 Academic. Separate copies of these Essays may be 

 procured from Messrs. Williajns and Norgate. 



Messrs. Sotheby and ^Vilkinson (Wellington Street, 

 Strand) will sell on Monday next and two following 

 days the valuable Dramatic and Miscellaneous Li- 

 brary of the late John Fullarton, Esq., which contains 

 an extensive collection of the early editions of the 

 Old English Dramatists.

Jef.dee. Notwithstanding Dr. Parr's assertion to the 

 contrary, the Malleus Mai.eficaruji is hy no means an 

 uncommon hooh, as may he seen hy a reference to Grasse 

 (Bibliotheca IMagica, p. 32.), where upwards of a dozen 

 editions are ennuieraled, and a table of its contents may 

 be seen. The work has been very fully analysed in the 

 second volume of Horst's DJimonomagie, and, if wc re- 

 member rightly, its history is told by Suldan in his Gesch. 

 der Hexenprocesse. 



R. H. (Trin. Coll. Dub.) will see that it is impossible 

 to adopt his kind snggestion without spoiling the uniformity 

 of the work. We have a bound copy of our First Volume 

 nolo before vs, and can assure him that, although the 

 margin is necessarily narrow the book has not been spoilt 

 by the binder. 



J. S. Nortor or Nawtcr is only the provincial mode 

 of pronouncing neatherd. 2'he Nolt market is the ancient 

 name of a street in Newcastle — the cattle-market. See 

 Brockett's Gloss, of North Country Words, s. r. Nowt 

 or NoLT. 



A. H. (Stoke Newington). " Limbeck " is vsed by 

 Shahspeare for " Alembic ;" and in the passaye in Mac- 

 beth, — 



'• That memory, the warder of the brain, 

 Shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason 

 A limbeck only." 



Receipt is used in the sense of receptacle ; and (we 

 quote from one of the commentators), " The limbeck is 

 the vessel through which distilled liquors pass into the 

 recipients. So shall it be with memory, through which 

 every thing thall pass, and nothing remain." 



Djedaleme Tebevr. Some of our correspondent's 



articles would, we have no doubt, have appeared ere this, 



hut fur the difficidty of deciphering his handwriting. 



Our correspondents little know how greatly they would 



facilitate our labours by writing more legibly.
