W. B. (Birmingham) is thanked. Our columns are at present too crowded to allow of our availing ourselves of his kind offer.
C. M. C. We do not believe that there is any published Life of the King of the Belgians.
T. C. (Boston). Caxton's Golden Legend was printed in 1483, and certainly not reprinted in London in 1843. The latter date must be a misprint for the former.
J. N. O., who inquires respecting the oft-quoted line—
"Tempora mutantur," &c.
is referred to our 1st Volume, pp. 234. and 419.
B. A. (Trin. Coll. Dub.), near Sheffield, shall receive answers to his Queries.
Vox Altera. Will our Correspondent specify the communications to which he refers? There is no charge for the insertion of Queries.

"Notes and Queries" is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.
