I may also mention, that the floor of the chamber represented in the
picture is formed of large red and blue square tiles; and that the folio
book standing on end, with another lying horizontally on the top of it,
which I said in my former description to be standing on the end of the
table, under the window, is, I now see, standing not on the table, but on
the floor, next to the chair of the grave and studious figure who sits in
the left-hand corner of the room.
These corrections of my first description have been in a great measure the
result of a little soap and water applied with a sponge to the picture.

_Myles Coverdale_ (Vol. vi., p. 552.).--I have a print before me which is
intended to represent the exhumation of Coverdale's body. The following is
engraved beneath:
"The Remains of Myles Coverdale, Bishop of Exeter, as they appeared in
the Chancel of the Church of St. Bartholomew, near the Exchange. Buried
Feb. 1569. Exhumed 23d Sept. 1840.
Chabot, Zinco., Skinner Street."
If I am not mistaken, his remains were carried to the church of St. Magnus,
near London Bridge, and re-interred.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
One of the most beautifully got up cheap publications which we have seen
for a long time, is the new edition of Byron's _Poems_, just issued by Mr.
Murray. It consists of eight half-crown volumes, which may be separately
purchased, viz. Childe Harold, one volume; Tales and Poems, one volume; and
the Dramas, Miscellanies, and Don Juan, &c., severally in two volumes. Mr.
Murray has also made another important contribution to the cheap literature
of the day in the republication, in a cheap and compendious form, of the
various Journals of Sir Charles Fellows, during those visits to the East to
which we owe the acquisition of the Xanthian Marbles. The present edition
of his _Travels and Researches in Asia Minor, and more particularly in the
Province of Lycia_, as it embraces the substance of all Sir Charles's
various journals and pamphlets, and only omits the Greek and Lycian
inscriptions, and lists of plants and coins, and such plates as were not
capable of being introduced into the present volume, will, we have no
doubt, be acceptable to a very numerous class of readers, and takes its
place among the most interesting of the various popular narratives of
Eastern travel.
