Our valued correspondent, the Rev. Dr. Todd of Dublin, has just published Three Treatises by John Wycklyffe, D.D. I. Of the Church and her Members. II. Of the Apostacy of the Church. III. Of Antichrist and his Meynee. Now first printed from a Manuscript in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin. The Treatises, which, in Dr. Todd's opinion, contain internal evidence of having been written within the last year of the Reformer's life, are accompanied by Notes and a copious Glossary; and the work has been undertaken not without a hope that the publication of these Treatises may direct the attention of influential scholars to the importance of collecting and printing all the existing writings which remain in our libraries under the name of Wycklyffe and his followers. We sincerely trust that this hope will soon be realised.
Messrs. Puttick and Simpson announce for approaching sale the highly important collection of Autograph Letters and Historical MSS. of Mons. A. Donnadieu. The series of English Royal Autographs alone extends to nearly three hundred articles; nearly all the letters after Henry VII. being entirely autograph. This fact alone will give some idea of the extent and value of this extraordinary collection.

Notices To Correspondents.
REMIGIUS. "Murder considered as one of the Fine Arts" appeared in Blackwood's Magazine some twenty years since.
MR. PARSONS, whose Query on the subject of Book plates appears in our 86th No., is requested to say where a letter may be addressed to him.
C. H. B. We are much obliged for his paper, which has been to our knowledge transcribed twice before; and is about to be published in a way in which we are sure C. H. B. will be very pleased to see it. At present we think we had better not interfere with, we trust, a shortly forthcoming book.
A CONSTANT READER (Temple) will find a very full account of the Lambeth Articles in Mr. Hardwick's recently published History of the Articles.
