Winchester College.—Who wrote the account of Winchester College in Ackermann's History of the Public Schools?
Mackenzie Walcott, M.A.
Old Royal Irish Academy House, Grafton Street.—This interesting building is now some two months abandoned, and bills on the windows announcing it "to be let, or the interest in the lease to be sold," I wish to ask through "N. & Q." if any person intends to make a drawing or other memoranda of the house, ere it undergoes a thorough alteration, as it certainly will, if taken for commercial purposes. I am not aware of any sketch of the house, except one in the fourth volume of the Dublin Penny Journal, p. 129.; but I do not think that this, or its accompanying description, are well suited to the character of the institution.

"Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasures
Thrill the deepest notes of woe."
"Like a fair lily on a river floating,
She floats upon the river of his thoughts."
