Notices to Correspondents.
_We have this week the pleasure of presenting our Readers with an
additional eight pages. We do this from a desire that those who do not
participate in the interest which so many of them take in our endeavours to
popularise Photography, should from time to time receive compensation for
the space occupied by our_ Photographic Correspondence.
E. H. H. _Caxton's Press is certainly not in Westminster Abbey: we may add,
certainly not in existence._
TEE BEE. _The quotation is from Pope's_ Moral Essays, _Epist. IV._:
"To rest the cushion and soft Dean invite,
Who never mentions hell to ears polite."
S. JENNINGS-G. _We have a Note for this Correspondent. Where shall it be
sent?_
H. E. P. T. (Woolwich). _What Numbers are wanted?_
EARLDOM OF OXFORD. M. D., _whose communication on this subject appears in
our_ No. for Feb. 12., p. 153., _writes to us that he has been misinformed,
inasmuch as two of the sisters of Alfred, the last Earl of Oxford and
Mortimer, have sons_. {225}
F. K. (Clonea) _is requested to state the subjects of the two Queries to
which he refers_.
J. M. (Bath). _The Note has been forwarded._
SHAW: SPINNEY: HURST. H. E. P. T. _will find, on reference to Richardson's
Dictionary, that_ Shaw _is from the A.-S._ Scua, _a Shadow_; _and_ Hurst
_from the A.-S._ Hurst, _a Wood_. Spinney _is probably from the Latin_
Spinetum, _a place where thorny bushes grow_.
J. G. (Dorchester)'_s Query on the Lisle Family shall appear next week_.
F. B. _The term_ Benedict, _applied to a married man, is doubtless derived
from Shakspeare's_ "_Benedict, the Married Man_."
TYRO. _The fault must be in your Chemicals, or in your manipulation. Try
again, with Chemicals procured from a different source._
E. B. S. _Dr. Diamond's result, and mode of arriving at it, will be given
in his forthcoming_ Photographic Notes.
_Erratum._--P. 105., Lord Duff's Toast, read "Q. R. S. Quickly _Restore_
Stewart," instead of "_Resolve_."
