A Copy of one of the "Broadsheets" issued during the Plague.
Wanted by Mr. Joseph Simpson, Librarian, Literary and Scientific Institution, Islington, London.
Notices to Correspondents.
Owing to our being compelled to go to press this week ready for publication on Thursday, and to the great mass of Replies To Minor Queries waiting for insertion, we have been compelled to omit our usual Notes on Books, &c.
Quæstor, who calls our attention to the catalogue in which certain Hollar and Eyre drawings are inserted, attached to the Gentleman's Magazine, is thanked. We were, however, already aware of it. The subject is too important to be lost sight of.
A. Z. is thanked. We should of course be glad if "N. & Q." could be purchased at all Railway Stations, but have no means of securing it. If frequently asked for, we have no doubt that the supply will follow the demand.
Montrose's reply has been anticipated. Thanks.
A Querist. We wish our Correspondents would take the trouble of just referring to our volumes before forwarding Queries upon well-known subjects. We have repeatedly answered similar inquiries, and again only in our last Number, by referring, for the history and illustration of "God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," to our First Volume.
H. Martin. Mr. Keble's edition of Hooker is more carefully edited than Hanbury's.
