C. K. P. (Eton) will find the Cherry Tree Carol at p. 123. of Sandys' Christmas Carols, ed. 1833. It is, perhaps, the most quaint and curious in the volume.
Revocation of the Edict of Nantes.—We cannot better rectify the error, natural error we had almost said, into which Mr. Macray has fallen, than by printing entire the following communication:
"British Museum,
Jan. 17, 1854.
"Sir,
"An extremely clever and interesting review of Pineton de Chambrun's History of the Persecutions of the Protestants by the French King in the Principality of Orange appeared in the Journal des Débats of the 30th Nov. last. This article is dated from the British Museum (in the reading room of which establishment it may very probably have been written), and signed William Jones. As I am the only person in the British Museum bearing the surname of Jones, the article has been attributed to me, in very courteous terms, by a correspondent of the "N. & Q." As I cannot claim the merit of being the writer, I beg to place this correction of Mr. Macray's very natural mistake in your hands, to be used in such manner as you may think proper.
"I have the honour to be, Sir,
"Your very obedient servant,
"J. Winter Jones."
F. G. S. (Colchester). We have forwarded to Dr. Diamond your request, and as soon as "light and leisure" permit, you shall receive some copies of the portrait.
A Photographic Correspondent, Durham.—We have been so unfortunate as to lose a letter asking questions respecting the enlargement of photographs, &c., for which we apologise, but believe a full answer will be found in the last number of the Photographic Journal.
"Notes and Queries," Vols. i. to viii., price Four Guineas.—Copies are being made up and may be had by order.
"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.

REDUCTION IN PRICE of FRENCH PAPERS prepared for MONS. LE GRAY'S Process.—Examination of the Papers, and comparison with the Prices hitherto charged for the same description, is respectfully solicited, combined with a hope that, as the most careful Selection and Chemical Manipulation has been observed, the endeavour (by reducing their cost) to extend this beautiful and already extensively applied branch of Photographic Art, may secure a portion of public patronage. Canson Frères' Waxed Negative, 6s. per quire; Iodised ditto, 8s. 6d.; Sensitive, available for three weeks, 13s. Size, 17½ by 11½, demy folio. Specimens of either Papers sent Free on receipt of the Postage (10 Stamps) between boards. Address, post paid, to LUKE SAMS, 7. Adelphi Chambers, facing the Society of Arts, Adelphi, London.
For Family Reading.
BLENCOWE'S PLAIN SERMONS. First Series, fourth edition; Second Series, third edition; Third Series. Sold separately, at 7s. 6d. per volume. These plain and short discourses have been found to be peculiarly suited for reading aloud in families and to the sick, on account of their simple and affectionate style, and the interesting and practical manner in which religious truths are inculcated. The publisher desires to point out their usefulness in these respects, having reason to believe that their circulation has hitherto been chiefly among the clergy, and that they are still comparatively little known to the laity.
