NOTES AND QUi:RIES. [2n« S. VI. 146., Oct. 16. '58. 



Mary, Queen Anne, and George I., to the year 1716. 

 These, in themselves, form a noble folio volume of 737 

 pages, worthy of the chief place in some Public Library. 

 But what adds to the great value of the collection is, that 

 the Magistrate by whom they were collected, Josiah 

 Haydock, Esq., Alderman of the city of Kilkenny, has, 

 in his own hand, not only indexed them, but also, on the 

 backs and at foot of the broadsides, written out, from 

 day to day, a detailed chronicle of the events of the stir- 

 ring times comprised within the dates May 13th, 1G79, 

 and July 1st, 169;j.' 



" After some spirited bidding, it was knocked down to 

 the Rev. James Graves, who purchased it for the Mar- 

 chioness of Ormonde for seventy-six pounds. 



" A number of books were purchased also for Lord 

 James Butler, Lord Talbot de Malahide, and several 

 other autiquaries. A verj' valuable collection of Irish 

 pamphlets, uniformly bound together in forty volumes, 

 and embracing great parts of the eighteenth century, 

 ■were purchased by Mr. G. Smith, of the eminent firm of 

 Hodges &. Smith. Some purchases were also made for 

 gome houses in London." 



We think it right to give the following letter from the 

 Rev. R. A. WiLLiioTT, explanatory of the modification of 

 Archaisms in his edition of Fairfax's Tasso, to which we 

 referred in last Saturday's " N. & Q." : — 



« Bear Wood, Oct. 11, 1858. 

 Sir, 



" An ambiguous expression in mj' Preface has, I 

 think, led you into error. I disclaim any design of put- 

 ting Fairfax into a modern dress ; and the modification of 

 ' Archaisms ' only embraces the change of ' souldier ' into 

 ' soldier,' or of "' battaile ' into ' battle,' &c. You are 

 aware that the spelling of Fairfax is not less capricious 

 than his grammar. lam. Sir, 



" Your faithful servant, 



" E. A. WiLI.MOTT."
