S. will find the "Indian-rubber glue," which is sold in tin cases, the simplest and cleanest substance for mounting positives; it also possesses the advantage of being free from the attacks of insects. SELEUCUS. * * * * * Replies to Minor Queries. _Books on Bells_ (Vol. ix., p. 240.).--Add to MR. ELLACOMBE'S curious list of books on bells the following: "Duo Vota consultiva, unum de Campanis, alterum de Coemeteriis. In quibus de utriusque antiquitate, {311} consecratione, usu et effectibus plene agitur, pluraque scitu dignissima ad propositi casus, aliorumque in praxi, hac de re occurrentium decisionem, non injucunde adducuntur.

It is not in the Bodleian catalogue, nor was it in Mr. Douce's library. P. B. _Medal in Honour of Chevalier St. George_ (Vol. ix., p. 105).--A. S. inquires about a medal supposed to have been struck in honour of Prince James (Chevalier St. George); but his account of it is so vague, that I am unable to answer his question. If he will describe the medal, or state the grounds upon which he supposes such a medal to have existed, I will endeavour to solve his doubts. H. _Dean Swift's Suspension_ (Vol. ix., p. 244).--I am surprised that ABHBA should express a belief that the circumstances of Swift's college punishment have not been noticed by _any of his biographers_, when every syllable of his communication is detailed (with original documentary proofs) in Dr. Barrett's _Early Life of Swift_, an
