NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[2nd §, No 3., Jan, 19. °56. 
the arms of the Artillery Company; “A Generall Bill of 
Mortality of the Clergie of London, which have been De- 
funct by reason of the Contagious Breath of the Sectaries 
of that City, from the Year 1641 to the Year 1647,” a 
melancholy list of sequestered divines at this distracted 
period; “A Looking Glasse for Statesmen,” printed for 
J. H. in the year 1648 — two woodcuts crown this broad~- 
side, one representing angels holding a garland over the 
heads of Daniel, Moses, Shadrach, Meshach, and other 
Hebrew worthies; the other with a hand issuing from the 
clouds, holding a drawn sword over the representations 
of Haman on the gallows, Achitophel hanging on a tree, 
Saul falling on his sword, and the beheading of Strafford 
and Laud. “A Mad Designe; or, a Description of the 
King of Scots, marching in his Disguise, after the Rout 
at Worcester,” with a satirical copper-plate; ‘“ The 
Picture of the Good Old Cause, drawn to the Life, in the 
effigies of Prais-God Barebone, with several examples of 
God’s Judgments on some eminent Engagers against 
Kingly Government.” This broadside is of the greatest 
rarity, perhaps unique; at the head is a very fine im- 
pression of a portrait of Praise-God Barebone, from a 
copper-plate, much in the style of Fulthorne. 
_Let us add that many smaller donations have, from 
time to time, been made to the collection, and that it is 
intended, we believe, to print an analytical catalogue of 
it. As it is most desirable that this collection should be 
made as perfect as possible before such catalogue is put 
to press; and as this is precisely one of the cases in which 
objects of little value taken separately acquire great value 
by combination, we may perhaps be excused for hinting 
to any of our friends who may possess copies of such 
works, what good service they may do by contributing 
them to the completion of the very interesting and im- 
portant series we have just been describing. 
We have been requested to call attention to the fact of 
the establishment of a free public library (under the 
recent act) in Hertford. Hertford is one of the first, if 
not the very first, of the small towns to avail itself of 
the act. The library opens with about 1200 volumes, 
any additions to which will be most thankfully received 
by Y. Crawley, Jun., Esq., the Honorary Secretary. 
Booxs Recetvep.—A Dictionary of Greeh and Roman 
Geography, by various Writers, edited by William Smith, 
LL.D.; Part XIII. extending from the article Nasava 
to Passrum; and Part XIV., from P.zsrum to Pyruium. 
This important work, it will be seen, is now rapidly 
approaching its completion; and in the last Part, the 
proprietors announce, that, with the view of accomplish- 
ing that object by next autumn, the future Parts will 
contain on an average twelve sheets, and be published at 
six shillings.

very best portions of the work — in his History of Poetry 
from 1550 to 1600, and of Dramatic Literature during the 
same period — for it contains the opinions of this elegant 
and judicious critic upon Shakspeare and his earlier 
writings.

Our present Number, it will be seen, contains an extra four pages. We 
had. in type so many articles of great interest and value, more particularly 
in Illustration of Macaulay, that we felt such a course due to the kind- 
ness both of our Correspondents and our Readers. 
Inuusrrations or Macavutay. The interest which these Illustrations 
have excited, and the favour with which they have been received, justify 
us in announcing that the Series will be continued for the neat and several 
following weeks. 
H. G. S. will find, on reference to Richardson's Dictionary, that 
etching is derived from the old German ecze, an edge, or point, because it 
is done with the point of a needle. It was formerly termed hatching, from 
the French hacher, to hack, or cut.

Cnemicus. There is no doubt that spelter, the commercial name for 
zinc, has come to us like many other mineralogical terms, from the Ger- 
man. Spelt in German, according to Wachter, denotes granum fissum, 
a split grain. See, however, Richardson, 8. V. SPELTER.
