RALPHO'S _communication should have been addressed to the writer, quoting
the lines on which he comments_.

GAMMER GURTON'S _suggestion is a very good one; and we can promise that our
Christmas Eve Number shall be rich in_ FOLK LORE.

G. S. M., _who desires information respecting the history of Newspapers,
their progress and statistics, is referred to F. K. Hunt's_ Fourth Estate,
a Contribution towards a History of Newspapers and of the Liberty of the
Press, _2 vols. 8vo., London, 1850. Several articles on the subject will be

Chemistry will find the gentleman to whom you refer._

D. G. (Liverpool). _It would be not only difficult but more expensive to
prepare your own sulphuric ether; but we again assure that the best is to

F. H. D. _Albumenized paper will keep many days after it has been excited
