I. Is any thing known, and especially from the writings of Erasmus, of a bookseller and publisher of the Low Countries named Dorne, who lived at the beginning of the sixteenth century? II. Is any thing known of a little work of early date, called _Henno rusticus_? III. Or of another, called _Of the sige (signe?) of the end_? Trusting that some of your readers will be enabled to throw light upon one or other of these points, I remain, &c. W. * * * * * BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED TO PURCHASE.

They will see, on a very little reflection, that it is plainly his interest to take all he can get, and make the most, and best, of everything; and therefore he begs them to take for granted that their communications are received and appreciated, even if the succeeding Number bears no proof of it. He is convinced that the want of specific acknowledgement will only be felt by those who have no idea of the labour and difficulty attendant on the hurried management of such a work, and of the impossibility of sometimes giving an explanation, when there really is one which would quite satisfy the writer, for the delay or non-insertion of his communication. Correspondents in such cases have no reason, and if they understood an editor's position they would feel that they have no right, to consider themselves undervalued; but nothing short of personal experience in editorship would explain to them the perplexities and evil consequences arising from an opposite course. * * * * * AUBERY JUNIOR The coincidence is certainly curious. When the 3rd of November was fixed for the first appearance of "NOTES AND QUERIES," it was little thought that it was the anniversary of the birth of John Aubrey, the most noted Querist, if not the queerest _Noter_, of all English antiquaries. His "Mem. to ask Mr. ----" no doubt indirectly suggested our title.
