From this remarkable signet we obtain the historical truth, that Achæmenes began his reign in the month Taurus, 1702, after THE Deluge. I have found the Deluge taken as an epoch in various Cuneiform and Egyptian, &c. documents, that have not been explained to the public. Yours truly,
T. R. Brown.

Sir,—In your "Current Notes" for this month (p. 7), a correspondent, A. K., enquires about "Robert Hoblyn" and his Works. Presuming he has made a mistake in the name, and that he means "Richard" instead of "Robert," I send herewith a list of some of "Richard's" Works,
I remain, yours,
Mr. Willis. Thomas Gray.
