[The title of Pezzo's work is, Dei Cimbri Veronesi, e Vicentini, libri ii. Terza edizione. 8vo. Verona, 1763. This edition is in the British Museum.]
Dictionary of Musicians.
—I have now before me A Dictionary of Musicians, &c., second edition, 2 vols. 8vo., Longman and others, 1827. I should be glad to know whether there is any more recent edition, or anybody engaged in preparing one; or whether there is any more recent and complete work of the kind. This one contains much information, but might be greatly improved by omissions, corrections, and additions.
AN AMATEUR.
[The Biographical Dictionary of Musicians noticed by our correspondent is very incorrect in its details. There is another work of the same kind in preparation, but is not expected to be published for some months. The latest works on the subject are the German Lexicon der Tonkunst in several 8vo. volumes, and that by M. Fetis, which appeared about four years since at Brussels, and pronounced both comprehensive and correct.]
City of London Charter.
—What was the cause of the City charter being forfeited in the year 1683?
In a trial, The King v. The City of London, judgment was given against the City, whereby the charter was forfeited.
