Notices to Correspondents.

Our Christmas Number. This week our able contemporary, Household Words, treats his readers to a Christmas Number. It is one of the many good things in which our popular friend has anticipated us. Thanks, however, to the Peace Congress, we are content to be thus anticipated without giving utterance to the time-honoured "Pereant qui ante nos nostra dixerunt." Still, as we earnestly desire to close the year in peace with all the world, or, which is much the same thing, with all the readers of Notes and Queries, we propose, on Saturday next, treating them to a Christmas Number, rich in articles on Folk Lore, Popular Literature, &c., and to use as ballast for our barque, which will at such occasion be of unwonted lightness, a number of Replies which we have by us imploring for admittance into our columns.

The Index to Volume the Second will be ready early in January.

All Catalogues, Bills, or Prospectuses intended for insertion in our next Monthly Part, must be sent to the Office, 186. Fleet Street, by Friday the 27th instant.


Seventeenth Thousand. Fcp., price 7s.
