_Plan of London_ (Vol. vii., p. 382.).--L. S. W. asks whether there is a
good plan of London, and answers his Query thus, _None_. I beg to differ
from him, believing that no city in the world possesses so good a plan as
that lately made under the late Commissioners of Sewers. It is true I and
my tenants have paid very dearly for it, but having examined both the
reduced plan and block plan very carefully, am compelled to admit their
accuracy. It is published in sheets at two shillings each; size, three feet
by two feet; scale of _block plan_, five feet to one mile; _reduced plan_,
one foot to one mile. On each plan accurate levels of every place is given.
An index-map, price threepence, is also published.

_Meaning of "Worth"_ (Vol. v., p. 509.).--As this suffix enters into the
composition of many of our English surnames, particularly in the northern
counties, MR. LOWER (and probably your readers in general) will be glad to
have the explanation of an able Anglo-Saxon scholar and antiquary, the late
lamented Mr. John Just of this town, whose merits as a philosopher and
etymologist were highly appreciated by the learned societies in this
