_Stone Pulpits._--A complete list of _ancient_ stone pulpits in England and
Wales would be desirable. Their positions should be specified; and whether
in use or not, should be stated. I have seen the following:
Nantwich, Cheshire; at the junction of north transept and chancel (not
used).
Bristol Cathedral; adjoining one of the north pillars of nave (not used).
Wolverhampton Collegiate Church; adjoining one of south pillars of nave (in
use?)
T. H. KERSLEY, B.A.
Audlem, Nantwich.
_Advertisements and Prospectuses._--It is, I believe, the custom for the
most part to make wastepaper of the advertisements and prospectuses that
are usually stitched up, in considerable numbers, with the popular reviews
and magazines. Now, as these adventitious sheets often contain scraps and
fragments of contemporaneous intelligence, literary and bibliographical,
with occasional artistic illustrations, would it not be well to preserve
them, and to bind them up in a separate form at the end of the year;
connecting them with the particular review or magazine to which they
belonged, but describing also the contents of the volume by a distinct
lettering-piece?
If the work of destruction of such frail, but frequently interesting
records, should go on at the present rate, posterity will be in danger of
losing many valuable data respecting the state of British literature at
different periods, as depicted by a humbler class of documents, employed by
it for the diffusion of its copious productions.
