F. D. will find the "Sermon against Miracle Plays" in the RELIQUÆ ANTIQUÆ, vol. ii. p. 42. There are no collective editions of the dramatic compositions of Nash or Lyllie.
LLAW GYFFES is referred to our Number of the 4th Oct., p. 206., where he will find his Davies Queries duly inserted.
ALBION in our next; also DR. HENRY'S "Notes on Virgil." We owe an apology to DR. HENRY for having nodded, and so allowed the word impertinent to pass unerased from a comment upon his Note on Servius. It is an epithet which certainly ought neither to have been applied to him, nor admitted into our columns.
Copies of our Prospectus, according to the suggestion of T. E. H., will be forwarded to any correspondent willing to assist us by circulating them.
VOLS. I., II., and III., with very copious Indices, may still be had, price 9s. 6d. each, neatly bound in cloth.
NOTES AND QUERIES is published at noon on Friday, so that our country Subscribers may receive it on Saturday. The subscription for the Stamped Edition is 10s. 2d. for Six Months, which may be paid by Post-office Order drawn in favour of our Publisher, MR. GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street; to whose care all communications for the Editor should be addressed.
MESSRS. PUTTICK AND SIMPSON beg to announce that their season for SALES of LITERARY PROPERTY will COMMENCE on NOVEMBER 1st, and would call attention to the ensuing List of Sales in preparation by them. In addressing Executors and others entrusted with the disposal of Libraries, and collections (however limited or extensive) of Manuscripts, Autographs, Prints, Picture, Music, Musical Instruments, Objects of Art and Virtu, and Works connected with Literature, and the Arts generally, would suggest a Sale by Auction as the readiest and surest method of obtaining their full value; and conceive that the central situation of their premises (near St. James Church), their extensive connexion of more than half a century's standings, and their prompt settlement of the sale accounts in cash, are advantages that will not be unappreciated. Messrs. P. & S. will also receive small Parcels of Books or other Literary Property, and insert them in occasional Sales with property of a kindred description, thus giving the same advantages to the possessor of a few Lots as the owner of a large Collection.
*** Libraries Catalogued, Arranged, and Valued for the Probate or Legacy Duty, or for Public or Private Sale.
On Saturday, Nov. 1, a large Collection of VALUABLE BOOKS, removed from the Country, including many curious and rare Works, and a good selection of Modern Literature. Six days' sale.
