beginning a new sentence with “ He comes;” and 
thus making the poet use the vulgar colloquialism 
“tis the horn over the bridge,” instead of the re- 
mark, that the postman is coming over it. W.P.P. 
NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 
All who have placed on their shelyes— and | 
who that desires to know thoroughly the history | 
of this country during the period which it illus-— 
trates has not done so—-the last edition of The | 
Diary 
ably edited by Lord Braybrooke, have felt the 
and Correspondence of Samuel Pepys, so | 
want of a corresponding edition of Evelyn's Diary. 
To meet this want, Mr. Coulburn has announced 
a new edition of it, “rendered as complete as pos- 
sible by a careful revision,” and accompanied by 
illustrative notes, to be completed in four monthly 
volumes. 
Mr. Parker, of Oxford, has just issued a new | 
| notes on our fast-fading Fox Lore, and reminding us 
edition of The History of the Church of England, 
by J. B.S. Carwithen, B.D. This work was very 
highly spoken of, at the time of its first appear- 
ance, for fidelity of narrative, accuracy of judg- 
ment, and soundness of principle; and its author 
was pronounced, by one well qualified to give an 
opinion, “a well-read historian, a sound divine, a 
charitable Christian.” As the original edition, in 
three volumes, has long been out of print, we | 
think Mr. Parker has shown great judgment in 
bringing it out, in a cheaper form, for the use of | 
students in divinity; and we do not doubt but | 
that he will find a ready sale for the two closely 
but clearly and handsomely printed volumes, in 
now completed. 
Those of our readers who take an interest in 
the writings of our early dramatists will be glad to

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Fotx Lore. We have received several letters, begging 
us to open our columns to the reception of articles and 
what good service The Atheneum did when it consented 
to receive communications on that interesting subject. We 
achnowledge with gratitude— for the point is one very 
interesting to us—the readiness with which The Athe- 
nzum Listened to the suggestions of a Correspondent, and 
what benefits resulted tu that interesting branch of Ar- 
cheological study, when that influential journal consented 
to devote a portion of its valuable space to the reception 
of such notices. We at once, therefore, accede to the sug- 
gestions of our Correspondent ; and, following the example 
of our widely circulated contemporary, take this oppor- 
tunity of assuring our now numerous readers that any 
| contributions illustrative of The Folk Lore of England, 
| the Manners, Customs, Observances, Superstitions, Bal- 
which this History of the Church of England is 
learn that the Rev. Alexander Dyce has at length , 
completed, in three volumes, his long looked-for — 
edition of The Dramatic Works of Kit Marlowe. 
Such of our clerical friends as have in their 
churches a peal of bells which, at the will of the 
ringers, 
“ Speak the loud language of a mighty knell,” 
and who must, therefore, sometimes be painfully 
convinced of the ill practices which occasionally 
grow up in the belfry, will thank us for calling 
their attention to the Practical Remarks on Belfries 
and Ringers, lately published, by the Rev. H. T. 
Ellacombe, in which they will find some useful 
hints for the correction of such abuses. 
We have received the following Catalogues : — 
D. Nutt (270. Strand), Select Catalogue of Clas- 
sical and Philological Works. 
Williams and Norgate (14. Henrietta Street, 
Covent Garden), Verzeichniss der Bticher, Landkarten 
ete welche vom Juli bis zum December neu erschienen 
oder neu aufgelegt worden sind, (Catalogue of Books, 
Maps, &c. published in Germany between July and 
December 1849.) 
lads, Proverbs, &c. of the Olden Time, will always find 
welcome admission to our pages. We think, too, we may 
venture to promise that such communications shall be 
illustrated, when they admit of it, from the writings of the 
continental antiquaries. 
J. D. A. is informed that we purpose so arranging 
|“ Nores anp Queries” as to form two volumes in the 
course of the year ; each volume to be accompanied by a 
vERY copious INDEX. 
Empre will see that we have at once so far availed 
ourselves of his suggestion as to make Rerurzs a distinct 
department of our paper. The other change he suggests 
requires consideration ; which it shall certainly have. 
We are unavoidably compelled to pastpone, until our 
next Number, Mr. Hickson’s further communication on 
Marlowe and the Old Taming of a Shrew. 
T. S. N. will find much curious information on the 
subject of his inquiry in some of the later volumes of The 
Gentleman’s Magazine ; and we will take an early oppor- 
tunity of furnishing him with information upon the point, 
We are compelled, by want of space, to omit our usual 
acknowledgment of COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED. 
We are again compelled to omit many Notes, Queries, 
and Answers to Queries which are in type, as well as 
Answers to Correspondents.
