Literature,” all recently purchased ; and also from 
Bernard Quarritch, of 16. Castle Street, Leicester 
Square, his twelfth Catalogue, containing some 
curious articles in Heraldry, Genealogy, British 
and Foreign History, and Antiquities, Fine Arts, 
&e. 
Messrs. L. Sotheby and Co., of Wellington 
Street, commence their bibliopolic campaign on 
Monday next, with the sale of the valuable library 
of a gentleman deceased, which contains fine sets 
of the Chronicles of Holinshed, Grafton, Hall, 
&c.; the Archzologia, in 34 vols., Grose’s An- 
tiquities, and other works of the same character. 
This sale will oceupy three days. On Thursday 
and the two following days they will be occupied 
with the sale of the valuable library of the late 
John Poynder, Esq., of South Lambeth, comprising 
most of the best editions of English history and 
theology; the collected works of the English poets 
and dramatists, including the First Four Editions 
of Shakspeare. Of these we may remark, that the 
copy of the Second Edition is the only one seen 
by Malone or Boaden with the name of Apsley in 
the imprint. Many of the books are illustrated 
with autograph letters and notes of distinguished 
authors. Many contain, also, autographs of learned 
men, through whose collections the volumes have 
passed, Among the latter, by far the most in- 
teresting is a copy of Aratus, of the edition printed 
at Paris in 1519, 4to., which formerly belonged to 
the author of Paradise Lost, who has written on 
the fly-leaf — 
«“ Jo. Mitton. pre. 2s. 6d. 1631; ” 
and, on the title-page, the pentameter — 
«“ Cum sole et luna semp’ Aratus erit.” 
The volume is also enriched with the poet’s auto- 
graph corrections and emendations, and a few 
others by Upton, the learned editor of Epictetus. 
There is scarcely a query in literary and poli- 
tical history which has more completely bafiled 
those who have endeavoured to solve it than the 
authorship of Junius. The subject is one which 
still excites great curiosity, and Mr. Bohn has no 
doubt done wisely in including in his Standard 
Library “ Junius’s Letters, with all the Notes of 
Woodfall’s Edition, and important Additions.” 
The first volume contains the Original Letters 
complete ; a second will contain the Illustrations, 
and conclude the work. 
Mr. J.G.Bell, of 10. Bedford Street, Covent 
Garden, has just issued — 
_ © Bibliotheca Splendidissima, a Catalogue of Valuable 
and Interesting Books, mostly enriched with extra 
Prints, Autographs, Manuscripts, &c., with an amazing 
gathering of Prints, Newspaper Cuttings, and Collec- 
tions, and a Choice List of Autographs and Autograph 
Letters,” 
Mr. Brown, of 130 and 131. Old Street, St. 
Luke’s, has just issued — 
« A Catalogue of English Theological Books, An- 
ecient and Modern, now forming a small portion of his 
Stock.” 
Mr. Oliver Lasbury, of 10. Park Street, Bristol, 
the successor of Mr. Strong, has also put forth 
“A Catalogue of Useful and Valuable Books of 
every description, including Selections from the Library 
of S. H. Smyth Pigott, Esq., Brockley Hall, Rev. F. 
Lyte, and many other Collections recently dispersed.”

S. L. will no doubt find the information he desires 
respecting the several London Charities named in his 
communication in Mr. Sampson Low’s valuable Little 
History of the Charitable Institutions of the Metro- 
polis, of which a new edition is, we believe, on the eve of 
publication. 
We have again to explain to correspondents who inquire 
as to the mode of procuring “ Nores anp Queries,” that 
every bookseller and newsman will supply it, if ordered, 
and that gentlemen residing in the country may be supplied 
regularly with the Stamped Edition, by giving their orders 
direct to the publisher, Mr. Grorce Berz, 186. Fleet 
Street, accompanied by a Post Office order for a Quarter 
(As. 4d.). 
A neat Case for holding the Numbers of “ Notes ano 
Queries” until the completion of each volume, is now ready, 
price 1s. Gd., and may be had, by Order, of all Book- 
sellers and Newsmen.
