NOTES ON BOOKS, &C. _In consequence of the number of_ REPLIES _waiting for
insertion, we have thought it right this week to omit our usual_ NOTES ON
BOOKS, _&c._
J. L. (Islington). _The ordinary Spirits of Wine, sixty over proof, is that
referred to. The Ether is to be common rectified Ether, and_ not _the
washed Ether_.
A CONSTANT READER _is informed that Stereoscopic views may be taken in any
Camera. We must refer him for answers to his other Queries to any of the
numerous dealers in such objects_.
INQUIRER (Edinburgh)_'s Photographic difficulty shall be solved next week_.
H. H. H. (Ashburton). _It is only some specimens of Gutta Percha that can
be acted upon by Collodion, which then takes up a very minute portion of a
waxy substance which occurs in some Gutta Percha, and some other eastern
products. The advantages derived from its use are very questionable._
T. N. B._'s offer is accepted with thanks_.
T. K. G. _The enigma_
"'Twas whisper'd in heaven"
_was certainly written by Miss Catherine Fanshawe. Another enigma from her
pen, "On the Letter_ I," _will be found in our_ 5th Vol., p. 427.
W. H. L. _The line_
"To err is human, to forgive divine,"
_is the 525th of Pope's_ Essay on Criticism.
H. G. D. _We should be glad to see the Notes referred to._
VARRO. _We have a letter on the subject of the Reprint of the First Folio
Shakspeare for this Correspondent. Shall it be forwarded, or left at our
Publisher's?_
SHAKSPEARE. _We have in type, or in the printer's hands, two or three
articles on the text of Shakspeare, to which we propose to give immediate
insertion. After which we would suggest the propriety of our Correspondents
suspending their labour on this subject until the appearance of_ MR.
COLLIER_'s promised edition, which is to contain all the MS. emendations in
his copy of the Folio of 1632_.
PRESTONIENSIS. _A_ Tandem _was so named from some University wag, because
he drove his two horses not abreast, but_ at length.
W. L. C. (Preston). _A common brass medal, of no pecuniary value._
