Notices to Correspondents.
J. F. (Halifax). _How can a letter be addressed to this Correspondent?_
J. O., _who inquired respecting_ Johanna Southcote. _How can we forward a
letter to him?_
MOUSEY. _A cat is called_ Grimalkin, _or more properly_ Gray Malkin, _from
the name of a Fiend supposed to assume the shape of a cat. Shakspeare, in
his_ Macbeth, _makes the First Witch exclaim_,
"I come, Graymalkin."
E. J. G. _We must refer our Correspondent to the critical commentators on
the passage: Lowth or Wintle, for instance._
INQUISITOR, _who writes respecting_ Rotten Row, _is referred to our_ 1st
Vol., p. 441.; 2nd Vol., p. 235.; _and our_ 5th Vol., pp. 40. 160.
F. R. D. (Dublin). _The arms on the impression of the seal forwarded by our
Correspondent are obviously German, from the helmet, the style of
lambrequin, and more particularly from the charges or bearings of which the
coat is composed. It is probably of the date assigned to it by_ F. R. D.
SHAW'S STAFFORD MSS. _We have a note for our Correspondent on this
subject_, N. C. L. _Where shall it be sent?_
O. G. _Will our Correspondent kindly favour us with the notices of Dr.
Deacon contained in Townshend's_ Common-Place Book, _for the benefit of
another member of the literary brotherhood, who, we know, has been for some
time past making collections for a Life of that remarkable Nonjuring
bishop?_
