NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.
ETYMOLOGICUS will find a full reply to his Query, under the word "Aiguillette," in the Dictionnaire Infernal of M. Collin de Plancy; and by so doing he will also learn why we do not here enter into a fuller explanation.
MARCH. There is no question but that we derived the name April fool from the French Poisson d'Avril. See Ellis' Brand, vol. i. p. 82 (ed. 1841).
INVESTIGATOR is referred to Lowndes' Bibliographer's Manual, under the title "Huloet," for an account of Huloet's Abecedarium, as well as of the newly corrected edition of it by Higgins.
A SUBSCRIBER who wishes for an abridged translation of Dugdale's account of Norton Priory, Lincolnshire, is referred to Wright's English Abridgment of the Monasticon, published in 1718.
J.K. (Medical Use of Mice) is thanked for his friendly Postscript. He will, we trust, see a great alteration in future.
CURIOSUS. The best account of the Domestic Fool is in Douce's Illustrations of Shakespeare, and Flägel's Geschichte der Hofnarren.
PHILO-STEVENS. Rask's Anglo-Saxon Grammar, by Thorpe; and Vernon's Guide to Anglo-Saxon, are considered the best elementary books.
The INDEX to our SECOND VOLUME will, we trust, be ready by the middle of the present month.
NOTES AND QUERIES may be procured, by order, of all Booksellers and Newsvenders. It is published at noon on Friday, so that our country Subscribers ought not to experience any difficulty in procuring it regularly. Many of the country Booksellers, &c., are, probably, not yet aware of this arrangement, which will enable them to receive NOTES AND QUERIES in their Saturday parcels.
