*** Letters stating particulars and lowest price, carriage free, to be sent to Mr. Bell, Publisher of "NOTES AND QUERIES," 186. Fleet Street.
Notices to Correspondents.
We this week have the pleasure of presenting our readers with an extra Eight Pages, rendered necessary by our increasing correspondence. If each one of our readers could procure us one additional subscriber, it would enable us to make this enlargement permanent, instead of occasional.
E. N. W. A ring which had belonged to Mary Queen of Scots, very similar to that which E. N. W. possesses, was exhibited some years since. A friend, on whose judgment we place great reliance, is of the opinion that the cutting on E. N. W.'s ring is modern. Could not E. N. W. exhibit it at the Society of Antiquaries? Mr. Akerman, the resident Secretary would take charge of it for that purpose.
Lammer Beads. Justice to Mr. Blowen requires that we should explain that his article in No. 68. was accidentally inserted after he had expressed his wish to withdraw it, in consequence of Mr. Way's most satisfactory paper in No. 67.
E. M. "God tempers the wind," &c. Much curious illustration of this proverb, of which the French version occurs in Gruter's Florilegium, printed in 1611, will be found in "Notes And Queries," Vol. I., pp. 211. 236. 325. 357. 418.
E. M. "Vox Populi Vox Dei" were the words chosen by Archbishop Mepham for his Sermon, when Edw. III. was called to the throne. See "Notes and Queries," Vol. I., pp. 370. 419. 492. for further illustrations.
S. Wmsn. The proposed short and true account of Zacharie Boyd would be acceptable.
