NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 



Archdeacon Cotton, whose endeavours to ascertain 

 and record the succession of the Prelates and Members 

 of the Cathedral Bodies in IreUind are probably known 

 to many of our readers (at least, by the Queries which 

 have appeared in our Columns), has just completed his 

 Fasti EcclesitE Hibernia;, in 4 vols. Svo. From the 

 nature of the work, it is obvious that it could never 

 have been undertaken witli a view to profit. The 

 printing, &c., has cost upivards of six hundred pounds, 

 and the Archdeacon, miturally uuwiliinjr to lose the 

 whole of this outlay, is circulating a prospectus offer- 

 ing copies at fifty shillings tlie set. Of these, there 

 are but two hundred. 'J'he utility of a book which 

 contains the names and prefermenis of every occupant 

 of an Irish see, dignity, or prebend, from the earliest 

 period to the present day, so far as existing materials 

 permits, is so obvious, that it can scarcely be doubted 

 that it must eventually find a place in all public and 

 official libraries.

Our Progress in the Colonies. /» cannot resist bringing 

 be/are our readers the Jhlluwing passage Jroyn a tetter which aC' 

 cumpanted sinjie vety interesting cummiinicatiuns Jrom .'Vuelaidb, 

 South Australia, leccioeti by us this week : — 



" A lover and a student o^ all that is interesting or curiotis in 

 literary antiquity, my position necessarily debars me from alt 

 access to original manuseripts, and to such voltunes as are only 

 to be found in large public libraries ; and also Keeps ine in ig7iO' 

 ranee (f much that is going on in the literary world. Thus there 

 is a hlttnk in the course of my favourite study which is well fitted 

 up by your excellent and interesting periodical. It is indeed a 

 great boon to alt situated as I am at a distance from the fountain 

 ite.id of antiquarian hnotrledge.'' 



Such an acknowledgment of oar utility to our brethren abroad, 

 is most gratifying to as. II e trust those of our readers who have 

 friends and relatives who are fond of literary pur.\7iits, resident 

 in the colonies, will do them and us tlie kindness of directing their 

 attention to " Notes and Queries." 



V. is requested to say how we can address a letter to him. 



W. P. A. The Catalogue of Sir T. Pliillip's MSS. is privately 

 printed. There are copies, we believe, at tlie L'odlcian, the Athe- 

 naiuin, and the Society of Antiquaries. 



E. B. P. Correct in this supposition. 



W. A. T/ie Camden Society could 7iot vnderlake the publi- 

 cation of the proposed iVIonumeiitarium Anglicanum, without 

 neglecting the objects for which it was more immediately instituted.

 do not acknowledge the receipt of Queries, from an anxiety not to 

 occupy space unnecessarily. 



C. W. and B. W. E. are both thanked for the friendly tone of 

 their communications.

 mental notes on the Literature of Europe have not yet been incor- 

 purated in any edition of that work. They form a separate volume 

 adapted to aft the eiisting editions.

 able communications upon this subject, which we shall take an
