Notices to Correspondents.
W. H. M. W. The Heralds' visitation for Wiltshire in 1622 will be found in the British Museum, Harl. MSS. 1165 and 1443. See too Sims's Indexes to Pedigrees, &c.
Ralpho's communication should have been addressed to the writer, quoting the lines on which he comments.
Gammer Gurton's suggestion is a very good one; and we can promise that our Christmas Eve Number shall be rich in Folk Lore.
G. S. M., who desires information respecting the history of Newspapers, their progress and statistics, is referred to F. K. Hunt's Fourth Estate, a Contribution towards a History of Newspapers and of the Liberty of the Press, 2 vols. 8vo., London, 1850. Several articles on the subject will be found in our own columns.
If F. S. A. applied to the proper authorities, we cannot doubt that the information he received is true.
J. W. N. K. We have referred the descriptions of the pictures to one of the very highest authorities in London, who is of opinion that if the marks on the back are genuine, they are the marks of the owner, not of the artist.
J. T. The volume Remarques de Pierre Motteux sur Rabelais is no doubt a translation of the notes which Motteux inserted in the English version, of which the first three books were translated by Urquhart, the other two by himself. This translation has, we think, been reprinted by Bohn.
J. W. T. The monastic work inquired after is noticed by another Correspondent at p. 569. of the present Number.
Dr. Diamond on the simplicity of the Calotype Process is, on account of its length from the many additions made to it, unavoidably postponed until next week.
