*** Letters, stating particulars and lowest price, carriage free, to be sent to MR. BELL, Publisher of "NOTES AND QUERIES," 186. Fleet Street.
Notices to Correspondents.
LADY FLORA HASTINGS' BEQUEST. The communications we have received reiterating Miss Barber's claim to the authorship of this Poem shall appear in our next number.
JARLTZBERG. Will this correspondent say how we may address a communication to him?
The necessity of making up our Paper earlier than usual in consequence of issuing a DOUBLE NUMBER has compelled us to omit two or three Queries, to which, at the special request of the writers, we should otherwise have given immediate insertion. They shall appear next week.
A. G. W. will find the proverbial saying:
"Quem Deus vult perdere prius dementat,"
very fully illustrated in "NOTES AND QUERIES," Vol. i., pp. 347. 351. 421. 476.
ÆGROTUS is thanked. His communication has only been laid aside until we have time to separate the different articles. Our correspondents would greatly oblige us if they would, when writing on several subjects, keep them separate and distinct. Are we at liberty to publish any of the anecdotes contained in Ægrotus' last letter?
