B. L.—North Side of Churchyards—Sir F. Kynaston's Academy, by Dr. Rimbault—and several very important communications on the proposed Monumentarium Anglicanum.
S. J. R. is referred to our First Volume, p. 467., for information on the subject of May Marriages being unlucky.

For instance, in the case to which has has referred in our Second Volume, we have ascertained that the second article was in type before the one which precedes it had reached us.

We are this week compelled to go to press one day earlier than usual; we have to request the indulgence of our correspondents for the omission of our usual List of Replies Received, and for not replying until next week to several inquiries which have been addressed to us.
Vols. I. and II., each with very copious Index, may still be had, price 9s. 6d. each.
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.
