Notices to Correspondents.
_We are this week compelled by want of room to postpone many interesting
papers, among which we may mention one by_ LORD BRAYBROOKE _on_ Portraits
of Distinguished Englishmen, _and one by_ SIR F. MADDEN _on the_ Collection
of Pictures of Bart. del Nave purchased by Charles I. _Our next Number will
be enlarged to 24 pages, so as to include these and many other valuable
communications, which are now waiting for insertion._
LUCIUS QUESTORIUS. _It is obvious that we have no means of explaining the
discrepancy to which our correspondent refers. If we rightly understand his
question, it is one which the publisher alone can answer._
ENQUIRER (Milford). _The copy of_ Hudibras _described is worth from fifteen
to twenty shillings._
W. H. G. _A coin of Aphrodisia in Caria. Has our correspondent consulted
Mr. Akerman's_ Numismatic Manual?
J. N. G. G. _Anania, Azaria, and Mizael, occurring in the_ Benedicite, _are
the Hebrew names of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. See_ Daniel, i. 7.
LAUDATOR TEMPORIS ACTI. _Will our correspondent who wrote to us under this
signature enable us to address a communication to him?_
HERMES _is assured that the proposal for "showing the world that there is
something worth living for beyond external luxury" is only postponed
because it jumps completely with a plan which is now under consideration,
and which it may in due time help forward._
