NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS
It will be seen by our leading article that having been unable to
procure by any other means sufficient copies of our early numbers, to
supply perfect sets to all who applied for them, we have reprinted Nos.
1. 2. 3. and 4., so that our subscribers have now an opportunity of
completing their sets.
Our correspondent who inquired respecting the _Life and Diary of Haydon
the Painter_, is informed that its publication is suspended for the
present.
We have to explain to correspondents who inquire as to the mode of
procuring "NOTES AND QUERIES," that every bookseller and newsman will
supply it _if ordered_, and that gentlemen residing in the country may
be supplied regularly with the Stamped Edition, by giving their orders
direct to the publisher, MR. GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street, accompanied
by a Post Office order for a Quarter (4s. 4d.).
A neat Case for holding Numbers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" until the
completion of each volume, is now ready, price 1s. 6d., and may be had,
by _Order_, of all Booksellers and Newsmen.
We are again compelled to omit many Notes, Queries, and Answers to
Queries, as well as Answers to Correspondents.

This day is published, price 6s.,
THE PILGRIMAGES OF WALSINGHAM and CANTERBURY: by DESIDERIUS ERASMUS.
Being his Colloquy on Pilgrimage, translated and illustrated with Notes,
by JOHN GOUGH NICHOLS, F.S.A.; together with the Colloquy on Rash Vows,
and the Characters of Archbishop Warham and Dean Collet, by the same
Author.
"This entertaining little volume will afford to many a reader not only
much information on the subject of Pilgrimages, but also numerous
illustrations of the feelings and habits of the times."--_Athenæum._
"We can conceive no more perfect translation than Mr. Nichols has given;
most delicately does he express the quiet eloquence and quieter irony of
the original; while his Notes--which occupy about three-fourths of the
handsome volume--are full of the most curious, learned, and interesting
matter."--_Weekly News._
