Notices to Correspondents.
L. M. T. (Bath) is thanked; but original poetry does not fall within the objects of "N. & Q."
Dixon of Beeston.—Our Chester Correspondent on this subject is thanked for his information. He no doubt will agree with us that it is not desirable to publish it, as it relates in some degree to one who need not be brought before the public.
Annie (Brixton) will see in our First Volume a tolerably full history of what Sterne has made world-renowned—"God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb."
Electric Telegraph.—C. W. F. is thanked, and referred to our Sixth Volume, p 93., where he will see Addison's notice of the Electric Telegraph; and to p. 204. of the same volume for a valuable communication from Mr. Singer on Strada's Sympathetic Magnetic telegraph.
One who has whistled at the Plough.—The three grains of pyrogallic acid to one drachm of acetic and one ounce of water. For the development of negatives, this may with benefit be diluted by using one third of this solution, two thirds of water.
