NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 
The arrangements for the Exhibition of Works 
of Ancient and Medieval Art at the rooms of the 
Society of Arts in the Adelphi, are proceeding 
most satisfactorily. Her Masrsry and Prince 
Avsert have manifested the interest they feel in 
its success, by placing at the disposal of the Com- 
mittee for the purposes of the approaching Exhi- 
bition a selection from the magnificent collection 
of such objects which is preserved at Windsor. 
Messrs. Puttick and Simpson, of 191. Piccadilly, 
will sell on Thursday next, and five following 
days, the extensive and valuable Library of a well 
known and eminent Collector; comprising some 
very early printed books of extreme rarity, nume- 
rous French, Spanish, and Italian early Romances, 
an extensive series of ancient Italian Books 
quoted by the Academia della Crusca, ancient and 
modern Books of Travels, and Oriental Books 
and MSS.; amongst which latter are the original 
MSS. of the celebrated M. Jules de Klaproth. 
We have received the following Catalogues : — 
“ A Catalogue of Scientific and Mathematical Books; 
comprising Architecture, Astrology, Magic, Chess, 
and other Games; Fine Arts, Heraldry, Naval and 
Military, Numismatics, Penmanship and Short Hand, 
Typography, and Miscellaneous Books, now selling at 
the reduced prices affixed by William Brown, 130. and 
131. Old Street, St. Luke’s, London.” 
* Catalogue (Part I. Feb. 1. 1850) of Choice, Useful 
and Curious Books in most departments of Literature, 
on Sale, at the very low prices affixed, by John Russell 
Smith, 4. Old Compton Street, Soho Square.” 
« William Dobson Reeves’ Catalogue of Books 
(Many Rare and Curious), now on Sale at 98. 
Chancery Lane.” 
“ Catalogue of very Cheap Books, chiefly Divinity, 
with a Selection of Miscellaneous Literature, on Sale, 
for Ready Money, by T. Arthur, No. 496. New Ox- 
ford Street.” 
“ A Catalogue of Fathers of the Church, and Eccle- 
siastical Writers to the Fifteenth Century, arranged in 
Chronological Order, with Collections, Analyses and 
Selections, Illustrative and Introductory Works, and 
an Alphabetical Index of Authors; on Sale at the 
Low Prices affixed, for Ready Money, by C. J. 
Stewart, 11. King William Street, West Strand ” 
We jhad occasion in a former Number (No. 5. 
p- 78.) to speak in terms of high and deserved 
ae of Mr. Stewart’s “ Catalogue of Bibles and 
iblical Literature ;” the present is no less de- 
serving of commendation, inasmuch as it gives 
not only the Fathers and Ecclesiastical Writers in 
Chronological order, according to Centuries, (to 
each of which, by the way, Mr. Stewart aflixes its 
distinctive character, Apostolic, Gnostic, &c., as 
given by Cave); but also marking the precise 
period in which they severally flourished, so as to 
show their succession in each century. So that this 
Catalogue, with its Index, and its tempting quo- 
tations from Cranmer and Bishop Hall, which we 
regret we have not room to quote, will really be 
most useful to all Students of Theology and Ec- 
clesiastical History.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
We are again compelled, by want of space, to omit 
many Articles that are in type; among others, one by 
Mr. Hampson, on King Alfred’s Geography of Europe; 
Extracts from Accounts of St. Antholin’s; The Rev. 
Dr. Todd On the Etymology of Armagh; as well as 
many Notes, Qurerizrsand Reriies; and our acknow- 
ledgments of Communications REceivep, We are for 
the same reason under the necessity of abridging our 
usual weekly Noves on Books, &c. 
R. M. Jones, Chelsea. To the queries of this corre- 
spondent (No. 14. p. 217.), who inquired for the best 
‘Treatise on the Microscope, and where to purchase the 
most perfect instrument, we have received many replies, 
all agreeing in one point — namely, that Mr. Queckett’s is 
the best work on the subject —but differing mostly as to 
who is the best maker. Mr. Jones is recommended to join 
the Microscopical Society, 21. Regent Street, where he 
will see some of the best-constructed and most valuable 
microscopes ever made ; and then can make his choice. 
To correspondents inquiring as to the mode of procuring 
“Nores and Quextxs,” we have once more to explain, 
that every bookseller and newsman will supply it regularly, 
if ordered; and that gentlemen residing in the country, who 
may find a difficulty in getting it through any boohseller 
in their neighbourhood, may be supplied regularly with the 
stamped edition, by giving their orders direct to the pub- 
lisher, Mr. Geoncr Bex, 186. Fleet Street, accompanied 
by a Post Office order, for a quarter, 4s. 4d.; a half year, 
8s. 8d.; or one year, 17s. 4d.
