period of
twenty years, is just completed. It forms, we believe, three quarto
volumes.

Messrs. Puttick and Simpson lately disposed of a most select and
interesting collection of autograph letters. We unfortunately did not
receive the catalogue in time to notice it, which we the more regret,
because, like all their catalogues of autographs, it was drawn up with
amateur-like intelligence and care; so as to make it worth preserving
as a valuable record of materials for our history and biography.

We have received the following Catalogues of Books:--No. XXV. of
Thomas Cole's (15. Great Turnstile): No. 2. for 1850, of William
Heath's (291/2 Lincoln's Inn Fields); and No. 15. of Bernard Quarritch's
(16. Castle Street, Leicester Square) Catalogue of Oriental and
Foreign Books.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Burning for Treason.--Can the Correspondent who furnished us with
a curious Note upon this subject favour us with a copy of it, the
original having been accidentally mislaid?

We are again compelled, from want of space, to omit many curious
and interesting articles; and, after this statement, must beg our
kind friends at Leeds, Brompton, &c., who complain of delay in the
insertion of their communications, to do us the favour to refer to the
notice on this very subject which appeared in our early numbers.

Notes and Queries may be procured by the Trade at noon on Friday:
so that our country Subscribers ought to experience no difficulty in
receiving it regularly. Many of the country Booksellers are probably
not yet aware of this arrangement, which enables them to receive
Copies in their Saturday parcels. Part V. is now ready.
