Notices to Correspondents.
The length of several of the communications in our present Number compels us to postpone this week our Notes on Books, &c.
S. (Sunderland). We must refer our Correspondent who inquires respecting eating Carlings (or Grey Peas) upon Care or Carle Sunday, and the connexion between that name and Char Freytag, the German name for Good Friday, to Brand's Popular Antiquities, vol. i. pp. 113-116. (ed. Bohn.)
R. Elliott, Esq. We have a letter for this Photographic Correspondent. Where shall we direct it?
R. J. S., who inquires as to Richard Brandon having been the executioner of Charles I., is referred to Sir H. Ellis's Letters Illustrative of English History (2nd Series, vol. iii. pp. 340, 341.); and to "N. & Q.," Vol. ii., pp. 110. 158. 268.; Vol. v., p. 28.; Vol. vi., p. 198.
W. M. R. E. How can we address a letter to this Correspondent?
David Brown. The lines
"For he who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day,"
so generally supposed to be Butler's, are really from Mennis' and Smith's Musarum Deliciæ. For much curious illustration of them, see our 1st Vol., pp. 177. 210., &c.
A. H. The words which Cæsar addressed to Brutus were, "Tu quoque, Brute."
Inquisitor. Stow tell us that Bevis Marks is a corruption of Burie's Marks,—a great house belonging to the Abbots of Bury having formerly stood there.
J. L. S. will find an article on the speech of the Clown, in Twelfth Night, to Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Ague-cheek: "Did you never see the picture of We Three?" in our 5th Vol., p. 338., &c.
C. V. The Journal in question is sold to those who are not members of the Society.
W. D. B. We do not think that the majority of our readers would be pleased to see our columns occupied with the proposed discussion respecting The American Sea Serpent.
Rev. J. L. Sisson's Photographic Notes in our next. We accept with thanks the polite offer made by our Correspondent in his postscript.
Cokely. The fine reticulated lines in question are caused by the hypo-soda not being thoroughly washed off.
