J. O., who inquired respecting Johanna Southcote. How can we forward a letter to him?
Mousey. A cat is called Grimalkin, or more properly Gray Malkin, from the name of a Fiend supposed to assume the shape of a cat. Shakspeare, in his Macbeth, makes the First Witch exclaim,
"I come, Graymalkin."
E. J. G. We must refer our Correspondent to the critical commentators on the passage: Lowth or Wintle, for instance.
Inquisitor, who writes respecting Rotten Row, is referred to our 1st Vol., p. 441.; 2nd Vol., p. 235.; and our 5th Vol., pp. 40. 160.
F. R. D. (Dublin). The arms on the impression of the seal forwarded by our Correspondent are obviously German, from the helmet, the style of lambrequin, and more particularly from the charges or bearings of which the coat is composed. It is probably of the date assigned to it by F. R. D.
Shaw's Stafford MSS. We have a note for our Correspondent on this subject, N. C. L. Where shall it be sent?
O. G. Will our Correspondent kindly favour us with the notices of Dr. Deacon contained in Townshend's Common-Place Book, for the benefit of another member of the literary brotherhood, who, we know, has been for some time past making collections for a Life of that remarkable Nonjuring bishop?

An Anxious Inquirer should state more precisely what branch of Photography he intends to pursue. Professor Hunt's Manual of Photography, of which the Third Edition has just been published, is the fullest which has yet appeared in this country. He will obtain Lists of Prices of Lenses, Cameras, &c. from any of the Photographic Houses whose Advertisements appear in our columns.
