_Heuristic_ (Vol. vii., p. 237.), as an English scholar would write it, or _Hevristisch_, as it would be written by a German, is a word not to be found in the sixth edition of Kant's _Critik_ (Leipzig, 1818), nor in his _Prolegomena_ (Riga, 1783).[3] Your correspondent's copy appears to have been tampered with. The title _Kritik_ should be spelt with the initial _C_, and _reinen_ should not have a capital letter: the Germans being very careful to prefix capitals to all substantives, but never to adjectives. The above-mentioned edition of the _Critik_ was sent to me from Hamburg soon after its publication. It was printed by Fröbels at Rudolstadt in 1818; and is unblemished by a single _erratum_, so far as I have been able to detect one. Allow me to suggest to H. B. C. to collate the pages in his edition with the sixth of 1818; the seventh of 1828; and, if possible, with one published in Kant's lifetime prior to 1804; and he will probably find, that the very favourite word of Kant, _empirisch_, has been altered in a few instances to _hevristich_. MR. HAYWOOD is evidently inaccurate in writing _evristic_, which is wrong in Greek as well as in German and English. Instead of giving the pages of his copy, your correspondent will more oblige by stating the divisions under which this exceptional word occurs, in the running title at the top of each page of his copy; together with two or three lines of the context, which I can compare with my own copy. I {321} have not here the facility of resort to a British Museum, or to German booksellers. Should your correspondent find any difficulty in effecting collation of his edition with others, I shall be willing to part with my copy _for a short time_ for his use; or, if he will oblige me with his copy, I will collate it with mine, and return it within the week with the various readings of the cited passages.

[Footnote 3: The former is the _synthetic_, the latter the _analytic_ exposition of his system of mental philosophy.] _"Cob" and "Conners"_ (Vol. vii., p. 234.).--These words are Celtic. _Cob_ means a mouth, a harbour, an entrance. _Conners_ appears to be a compound word, from _cuan_, a bay or harbour, and _mar_ or _mara_, the sea; pronounced "Cuan wara," then shortened into _Conner_. Conna-mara, in the west of Ireland, properly spelled _Cuan na mara_, means "bays of the sea." FRAS. CROSSLEY. _Lady High Sheriff_ (Vol. vii., p. 236.).--Your correspondent W. M. is informed that in Duncumb's _Herefordshire_ there is no mention made of the fact, that a lady executed the office of high sheriff of the county. The high sheriffs for the years 1768--1771 inclusive were Richard Gorges, William Nourse, Price Clutton, and Charles Hoskyns, Bart. The lady alluded to would be the widow of one of these. H. C.
