be perused with
great interest in this country. The one on the ancient practice of burning
the bodies of the dead (_Ueber das Verbrennen der Leichen_) will be of
especial interest to English antiquaries; but the other, from its connexion
with the great educational questions which now occupy so much of public
attention, will probably be yet more attractive. It is entitled, _Ueber
Schuele Universitaet Academie_. Separate copies of these Essays may be
procured from Messrs. Williams and Norgate.

Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson (Wellington Street, Strand) will sell on
Monday next and two following days the valuable Dramatic and Miscellaneous

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

JEEDEE. _Notwithstanding Dr. Parr's assertion to the contrary, the _MALLEUS
MALEFICARUM_ is by no means an uncommon book, as may be seen by a reference
to Gruesse _(Bibliotheca Magica, p. 32.)_, where upwards of a dozen editions
are enumerated, and a table of its contents may be seen. The work has been
