Cuthbert Bede. How can we forward a letter to this Correspondent?
W. M. H. The author of the work on the Apocalypse, to which our Correspondent refers, has no present intention of completing it, for reasons which our Correspondent would, we are sure, respect.
We are this week compelled by want of space to omit many articles of great interest—among which we may mention some Shakspearian Illustrations by Mr. Singer and A. E. B.; Mr. Sternberg's Popular Stories of the English Peasantry; Rev. R. Hooper's Account of a Copy of Æschylus, &c.; and for the same reason have omitted our usual Notes on Books and List Of Replies Received.
Full price will be given for clean copies of No. 19. upon application to our Publisher.
"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.
MOURNING.—COURT, FAMILY, and COMPLIMENTARY.—The Proprietor of The London General Mourning Warehouse begs respectfully to remind families whose bereavements compel them to adopt Mourning Attire, that every article of the very best description, requisite for a complete outfit of Mourning, may be had at this Establishment at a moment's notice.
Estimates for Servants' Mourning, affording a great saving to families, are furnished: whilst the habitual attendance of experienced assistants (including dressmakers and milliners), enables them to suggest or supply every necessary for the occasion, and suited to any grade or condition of the community. Widows' and Family Mourning is always kept made up, and a note, descriptive of the Mourning required, will insure its being sent forthwith, either in Town or into the Country, and on the most Reasonable Terms.
