NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.
_We have to request the indulgence of several Correspondents for not
replying to them this week._
S. G. W. Gibraltar _is a corruption of_ Jebel-Tarik, _or the_ Hill of
Tarik; _a name derived from the Moorish conqueror who landed there April
30, 711. For the origin of its ancient name_, Calpe, _we must refer_ S. G.
W. _to Smith's_ Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, _where the various
presumed etymologies are discussed_.
"PERCY ANECDOTES." _Mr. Timbs has requested us to correct a slight error in
his communication on this subject_ (antè, _p. 214._). _The_ Percy Anecdotes
_were completed in_ forty _parts, and not_ forty-four, _as there stated_.
BROCTUNA. _Could the article proposed be divided into two papers?_
MR. CROOKES. _Where can we address a letter on a Photographic subject to
this Correspondent?_
OUR SIXTH VOLUME, _strongly bound in cloth, with very copious Index, is now
ready, price 10s. 6d. A few complete sets of_ "NOTES AND QUERIES," Vols. I.
_to_ VI., _price Three Guineas for the Six Volumes, may now be had; for
which early application is desirable_.
"NOTES AND QUERIES" _is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country
Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcel, and deliver them to
their Subscribers on the Saturday_. {250}

PHOTOGRAPHY.--XYLO-IODIDE OF SILVER, prepared solely by R. W. THOMAS, has
now obtained an European fame; it supersedes the use of all other
preparations of Collodion. Witness the subjoined Testimonial.
"122. Regent Street
"Dear Sir,--In answer to your inquiry of this morning, I have no
hesitation in saying that your preparation of Collodion is incomparably
better and more sensitive than all the advertised Collodio-Iodides,
which, for my professional purposes, are quite useless when compared to
yours.
"I remain, dear Sir,
"Yours faithfully,
"N. HENNEMAN.
Aug. 30. 1852.
to Mr. R.W. Thomas."
