WALKER'S SUFFERINGS OF THE CLERGY.
Is it the intention of the Ecclesiastical History Society to publish a new edition of Walker's Sufferings of the Clergy? At the time when the society was instituted it was on the list of works to be published by them.
Surely, if that is the case, somewhat might be done to correct the many inaccuracies, and, in other ways, increase the value of a work which has preserved the memory of some of the most exalted acts of Christian heroism that England has ever witnessed.
Will the editor of "NOTES AND QUERIES" open his pages to receive notes and corrections for a future edition of The Sufferings of the Clergy?
DRYASDUST.
[It is believed that the trading speculation, miscalled a Society, has ended with considerable loss to both undertakers and subscribers; and is not likely to publish any more of the works which figured in its rhodomontade prospectus. Certainly it is very desirable that there should be a new, careful, and critical edition of Walker; and any assistance which can be rendered by "NOTES AND QUERIES" will be at the service of anybody who will undertake such a work. It would be well, however (and it is mentioned here with general reference to all such cases, though it is particularly applicable to the present), if the learned doctor would specify some mode by which the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES", may address him directly. The Editor suggests this, not to save himself trouble, or because he grudges room (or rather would grudge room if he had it) for many voluminous and important communications, which would be very valuable to the Doctor, but which, from length, and want of general interest, could not be inserted in this little work. It is probable that he would by this mode obtain many communications which the writers would not send to "NOTES AND QUERIES," from being aware that they could not be inserted. There would be nothing in this to prevent his maintaining his incognito; and, therefore, the Editor ventures to request his correspondents to send to "NOTES AND QUERIES" anything that is brief, and may promise to be of general interest; and to address anything which may be more voluminous to DR. DRYASDUST, at our publisher's, No. 186. Fleet Street.]
