with variety, and the literary illustrations full of | 
a pleasant gossipping anecdotical character. The 
first plate shows us The Old Bulk Shop at Temple 
Bar, occupied by successive generations of fish- 
mongers, and doubtless well remembered by most 
of our readers; although no trace of it any longer 
exists. The House of John Dryden, in Fetter 
Lane, so designated on the authority of the late | 
Mr. Upcott, forms the second plate; and is followed | 
by The Altar of Diana, discovered in Foster Lane, 
Cheapside, in December 1830. The Drapers’ Alms- 
houses, Crutched Friars, is the next illustration, 
which again is contrasted by a plate of Roman 
Vestiges, full of interest to those who like to 
investigate the Roman occupation of our metro- 
polis ; and this first part concludes with a view of | 
The Old Chapel of St Bartholomew, Kingsland. | 
The work is executed in a style to delight London 
antiquaries, and charm those who delight to illus- 
trate Pennant. 
The approaching Exhibition of Works of Ancient | 
and Medieval Art at the rooms of the Society of 
Arts in the Adelphi, promises to be one of the 
most interesting displays of the kind ever exhi- 
bited in this or any other city. The possessors of | 
objects of beauty and rarity have vied with each 
other in placing at the disposal of the Committee 
their choicest specimens; and the inhabitants and 
visitors of the metropolis will shortly have an 
opportunity of judging how numerous are the 
relics of “barbaric pomp and gold” which are 
still left to us, and how much of beauty of design, 
and “skill in workmanship” were displayed by 
the “ hard-handed” men of the good old times, to 
justify the enthusiasm of the antiquary, and gra- 
tify the man of taste. 
e have received, but at a moment too late to 
notice as it deserves, the Catalogue of very choice 
Books, and Books printed on vellum, the property 
of the late Mr. Rodd, which are to be sold by 
Messrs. Sotheby, at their rooms in Wellington 
Street, on Monday next. As a specimen, perhaps 
the most remarkable of this collection, we may 
oint out the set of the Works of Thomas Aquinas, 
in 17 folio volumes, bound in 21, and which is well 
described as 
“ A magnificent set of books, presenting one of the 
finest specimens, and at the same time the most ex- 
tensive work, ever printed upon vellum. This copy 
was presented by Pope Pius V. to Philip II., king of | 
Spain, and was deposited in the library of the Escurial, | 
whence it was taken during the occupation of Spain | 
by Bonaparte. The only other copy known is in the | 
National Library, Paris. It is the best edition of this | 
author’s works,” 
We have received the following Catalogues : — 
“John Petheram’s Catalogue of Old and New 
Books, on Sale for Cash only at 94. High Holborn. 
Part CVIII. No. 2. for 1850.” 
a Catalogue containing some excellent books, 
which reached us last week, and was omitted from 
| our last list by accident. 
“ Catalogue of Miscellaneous English and Foreign 
Books in all Classes of Literature, selected from the 
Stock of Nattali and Bond, 23. Bedford Street, Covent 
Garden.” 
“ Bibliotheca Salisburiensis. A Catalogue of Old 
and New Books on sale by J. Hearn, corner of the

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
We have again had to indulge in the expensive luxury 
of a further veprint ; and we have therefore the pleasure 
of announcing that our Second Monthly Part, which has 
been out of print, may now be had by such of our friends 
as want it to complete their sets. 
We are again under the necessity of omitting many 
communications, including Notes, Queries, and Reptirs, 
which are in type; but we hope, by enlarging next week's 
paper to 24 pages, instead of 16, to find room for inserting 
many interesting papers which we have hitherto been com- 
pelled to omit for want of room. 
To correspondents inquiring as to the mode of procuring 
“ Notes anp Queries,” 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 bookseller 
in their neighbourhood, may be supplied regularly with the 
stamped edition, by giving their orders direct to the pub- 
| lisher, Mr. Geonce Ber, 186. Fleet Street, accompanied 
by a Post- Office order, for a quarter, 4s. 4d.; a half year, 
8s. 8d.; or one year, 17s. 4d. 
A. J. V. will find an answer to his query respecting 
Angels’ Visits, §c, in No. 7. p.102. ; and respecting the 
Hudibrastic couplet, in No. 12. p. 179. 
M. X. (Bridport). The work well bound will only 
| fetch about seven or eight pounds in a sale room, and may 
| be purchased for about ten.
