ham as having transcribed Breck’s Hist. Sketch of 
the Continental Bills of Credit from the original 
MS., etc. This is an error; it was transcribed from 
a printed copy upon paper of a suitable size for 
the book he designed. I refer to this, not for cor- 
rection, but to indicate in connection with it a 
pleasing and valuable characteristic. “ regularly 
at this season,” said Mr. Ingraham to me (it was 
the month of August) “enter my office by seven 
o'clock in the morning. In order to make this 
copying, I changed my hour from seven to half- 
past six o’clock. I did this for a fortnight, and 
the work was done without having cost me any 
time.’ The economy which he supposed he had 
achieved was, though not literally, yet practically 
true. i A 
Numismatic Query (24 8. i. 95.) -— The sup- 
posed coin, respecting which Cxierricus inquires, 
is probably a jetion, or Nuremburg counter, which 
is very common, and may be known by its thin- 
ness. See Snelling’s View of the Origin, Nature, 
and Use of Jettons or Counters, small folio, Lon- 
don, 1769. > As B.C, 
Calembourg (1% S. xii. 128.) — This species of 
pun, the homophonous, has always been attributed 
to Count Calemberg, who illustrated it in Paris 
in the days of Louis XV. At least this is the ac- 
count of the Conversations-Lexicon, a not un- 
patriotic book; and your correspondent who 
transfers it to Wigand of the Bare-Hills is plus 
Allemand que les Allemands. bi or 
Book- Worms (2" §, i. 143.) — A writer in The 
North American Review, for October 1854, while 
discoursing on book-worms, states that, — 
« A little alum or vitriol mixed with the binder’s paste 
will set the marauder at defiance. Where this has been 
neglected, a strong infusion in the paste with which the 
book-plate is fastened in will be of service.” — P. 371.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 
The crowded state of our columns warns us that we 
must this week content ourselves with noting the receipt 
of a few books, mostly of a religious character. Among 
these we may mention, Passion Week, a Collection of 
Poetical Pieces on Subjects suited to this Holy Season. 
This beautiful selection from the writings of all our 
greatest devotional poets— Milton, Herbert, Southwell, 
Donne, Crashaw, Kirke White, Milman, &c. —is divided 
into five portions, viz., General Introduction; Part L., 
Our Blessed Lord’s Entry into Jerusalem; Part II., The 
Passion of Our Blessed Load; Part III., The Resurrec- 
tion of Our Blessed Lord; and Conclusion; and is a 
fitting companion to its predecessor, Christmas Tyde. We 
cannot give if higher praise. 
The next two works have been published with the 
laudable object of spreading a knowledge of the Church

Readings for a Bible Class on the Morning Prayer is in- 
tended for the benefit of those who have left the National 
and Sunday Schools, but are yet able to attend private 
classes for religious instruction, which are now established 
in so many parishes. The next is addressed to a wider 
class of readers, but is written in the same plain and un- 
affected style. It is a volume of Plain Sermons on the’ 
Book of Common Prayer, by a Writer in the Tracts for the 
Christian Seasons.
