_Bust of Luther_ (Vol. viii., p. 335.).--MR. J. G. FITCH asks for
information respecting a bust of Luther, with an inscription, on the wall
of a house, in the Dom Platz at Frankfort on the Maine. I have learned,
through a German acquaintance, who has resided the greater part of his life
in that city, that the effigy was erected to commemorate the event of
Luther's having, during a short stay in Frankfort, preached near that spot;
and that the words surrounding the bust were his text on the occasion. He
adds that Luther at no period of his life "lived for some years" at
Frankfort, as stated by MR. FITCH.
ALFRED SMITH.
_Grammar in relation to Logic_ (Vol. viii., pp. 514. 629.).--H. C. K.'s
remarks are of course indisputable. But it is a mistake to suppose that
they answer my Query. In fact, had your correspondent taken the trouble to
consider the meaning of my Query, he could not have failed to perceive that
the explanation I there gave of the function of the conjunction _in logic_,
is the same as his. My Query had sole reference _to grammar_. I would also
respectfully suggest that anonymous correspondents should not impute
"superficial views," or any other disagreeable thing, to those who stand
_confessed_, without abandoning the pseudonym.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
Mr. Timbs announces for publication by subscription, _Curiosities of
London: exhibiting the most rare and remarkable Objects of Interest in the
Metropolis_. Mr. Timbs states, the authorities for his work have been
four-and-twenty years in collection; and that the utmost pains has been
taken to verify names, dates, and circumstances, so as to insure accuracy.
In this labour the author has been aided by the communications of many
obliging friends, as well as by his own recollection of nearly fifty years'
changes in the aspects of "opulent, enlarged, and still increasing London."
It is proposed to publish by subscription _The Visitation of the County of
Northumberland_, taken by Richard St. George, Esq., Norroy King of Arms,
and Henry St. George, Esq., Blue Mantle Pursuivant of Arms, A.D. 1615. To
be printed in tables on folio, with the arms engraved on wood, price One
Guinea; or large paper, royal folio, Two Guineas; or large paper with the
arms emblazoned (of which only the number subscribed for will be done),
Five Guineas. Subscribers' names will be received by Mr. John Gray Bell,
No. 17. Bedford Street, Covent Garden.
