Notices to Correspondents.
J. B. Whitborne. Where shall we address a letter to this Correspondent?
Oxford Jeu d'Esprit. We hope next week to lay before our Oxford friends a reprint of a clever jeu d'esprit, which amused the University some five-and-thirty years since.
B. H. C. Will this Correspondent, who states (p. 135.) that he has found the termination -by in Sussex, be good enough to state the place to which he refers?
C. C. The ballad of "Fair Rosamond" is printed in Percy's Reliques, in the Pictorial Book of British Ballads, and many other places; but the lines quoted by our Correspondent—
"With that she dash'd her on the mouth,
And dyed a double wound"—
do not occur in it.
T. Φ. Biographical notices of the author of Drunken Barnaby will be found in Chalmers' and Rose's Dictionaries. The best account of Richard Brathwait is that by Joseph Haslewood, prefixed to his edition of Barnabæ Itinerarium.—Gurnall has been noticed in our Sixth Volume, pp. 414. 544.
W. Fraser. Bishop Atterbury's portrait, drawn by Kneller, and engraved by Vertue, is prefixed to vol. i. of the Bishop's Sermons and Discourses, edit. 1735. The portrait is an oval medallion; face round, nose prominent, with large eye-brows, double chin, and a high expansive forehead, features regular and pleasant, and indicative of intellect. He is drawn in his episcopal habit, with a full-dress curled wig; beneath are his arms, surmounted by the mitre.
