and Views. 
We heard some time since that the long-esta- 
blished and highly-respectable house of Payne 
and Foss, of Pall Mall, had succeeded the late 
Mr. Rodd in the agency of purchasing for the 
British Museum. The rumour proved to be un- 
founded, and now receives a formal contradiction 
by the announcement that Messrs. Payne and 
Foss are retiring from business, and that, the first 
portion of their extensive and valuable Stock of 
Books will be sold by auction by Messrs. Sotheby 
and Co.; the first division, in a ten days’ sale, 
commencing on the 18th and terminating on the 
28th March; which will be followed by tlie second 
division, which will also occupy ten days, and 
commence on Monday the 8th April. The lovers 
of choice copies of fine editions of first-class books 
will have, on this occasion, such an opportunity 
of enriching their collections as rarely presents 
itself. 
We have received the following Catalogues : — 
“ Number Two, for 1850, of John Miller’s Cata- 
logue of Books, old and new, on sale, at 43. Chandos 
Street, Trafalgar Square.”
