Questions and answers -- Periodicals
J. T. _The volume_ Remarques de Pierre Motteux sur Rabelais _is no doubt a
translation of the notes which Motteux inserted in the English version, of
which the first three books were translated by Urquhart, the other two by
himself. This translation has, we think, been reprinted by Bohn_.
J. W. T. _The monastic work inquired after is noticed by another
Correspondent at_ p. 569. _of the present Number_.
Dr. Diamond on the simplicity of the Calotype Process _is, on account of
its length from the many additions made to it, unavoidably postponed until
next week_.
T. L. (Islington). _The ingredients referred to are all used by Le Gray,
the originator of the waxed-paper process. They are supposed not only to
increase the sensitiveness of the paper, but to add to its keeping
qualities. We have no doubt that a letter addressed to the College of
Chemistry will find the gentleman to whom you refer._
D. G. (Liverpool). _It would be not only difficult but more expensive to
prepare your own sulphuric ether; but we again assure that the best is to
be procured at from 5s. to 6s. per pound, and wholesale at considerably
less. You may satisfy yourself by a reference to our advertising columns._
F. H. D. _Albumenized paper will keep many days after it has been excited
with a forty-grain solution of nitrate of silver. We have used Whatman's
and Turner's papers twenty days old, and with perfectly satisfactory
results. The thin Canson is of all others most disposed to brown; but it is
preferable to all others in use from the richness of the tints produced and
its rapidity of printing._
_Erratum._--Vol. viii, p. 546. l. 20. from bottom, for "burnishing" read
"bruising."
"NOTES AND QUERIES" _is printed at noon on Friday, so that the Country
Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to
their Subscribers on the Saturday_.
"NOTES AND QUERIES," Vols. i. _to_ vii. _price Three Guineas and a
Half.--Copies are being made up and may be had by order._

W. H. HART, RECORD AGENT and LEGAL ANTIQUARIAN (who is in the possession of
Indices to many of the early Public Records whereby his Inquiries are
greatly facilitated) begs to inform Authors and Gentlemen engaged in
Antiquarian or Literary Pursuits, that he is prepared to undertake searches
among the Public Records, MSS. in the British Museum, Ancient Wills, or
other Depositories of a similar Nature, in any Branch of Literature,
History, Topography, Genealogy, or the like, and in which he has had
considerable experience.
