NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Among the many papers which we are unavoidably obliged to postpone
are an original and inedited _Letter by Horace Walpole_, Mr. Singer's
Reply to C.W.G. on _AElfric's Colloquies_, an interesting communication
from Mr. Coles respecting _Arabella Stuart_, a paper by Mr. Rye on
the _Queen of Robert Bruce_, and T.S.D.'s able article on _Arabic
Numerals_.
The Erectheum Club (like "The Parthenon") takes its name from the
Erectheum at Athens.
H.M.A. declined with thanks.
X.P. is informed that the _monotome_ edition of Boswell's Johnson
edited by Croker, is not an abridgment of the larger work, but a new
and thoroughly revised edition of it; and with a really good index.
To correspondents inquiring as to the mode of procuring "NOTES AND
QUERIES," we have once more to explain, that every bookseller and
newsman will supply it regularly, if ordered; and that gentlemen
residing in the country, who may find a difficulty in getting it
through any bookseller in their neighbourhood, may be supplied
regularly with the stamped edition, by giving their orders direct to
the publisher, MR. GEORGE BELL, 186 Fleet Street, accompanied by a
Post-Office order for a quarter, 4s. 4d.; a half year, 8s. 8d.; or
one year, 17s. 4d.
Errata. P. 242. col. 2. l. 11., for "coheir" read "cognate;" and line
16, for "Argidius" "AEgidius;" and p. 243, col 1. l. 35. read "anecdote
of Dionysius related by Cicero and by Plutarch, in his _Laconic
Apophthegms_, which Stobaeus evidently followed."
