in "N. & Q." Vol. i. pp. 234. 419.
J. B. R. (Belper). The Derbyshire Folk-lore will be very acceptable.
SEXAGENARIUS ALTER. The article respecting "Black Rood of Scotland" is in the printer's hands. The other has not been lost sight of.
E. G. "When Greeks join Greeks," &c., is from Nat Lee's "Alexander the Great."
TEE BEE. The communication of our Norwich correspondent has been duly forwarded.
H. M. W. will find his quotation on "Stops in Printing" at p. 133. of the present Volume.
We are compelled to postpone replying to many correspondents; to some who have given us their names we will communicate by letter.
The correspondent who writes to us on the subject of Collins is thanked; the date in the Query (Vol. v., p. 227.) is certainly wrong: it should have been 1759. We do not publish Hayley's Epitaph, as it has been, we believe, frequently printed. Our correspondent has been anticipated too (see p. 331.) in the excellent illustration of the word BIGOT from Trench's "Study of Words."
"NOTES AND QUERIES" is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.
