Notices to Correspondents.
_We are compelled to postpone until next week several _NOTES ON BOOKS_ and
_NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.
_If _MR. KERSLAKE_ will send the extract from his catalogue which
illustrates the corrupted passage in _Childe Harold, "Thy waters wasted
them," &c.,_ we will give it insertion in our columns._
J. W. T. _Thanks. Your hint shall not be lost sight of._
E. R. (Dublin). _Erastianism is so called from Erastus, a German heretic of
the sixteenth century. (See, for farther particulars, Hook's _Church
Dictionary_, s. v.)_
A PRIEST. _We do not like to insert this inquiry without being able to give
our readers a specific reference to some paper containing the
advertisement; will he enable us to do so?_
A. B. (Glasgow). _This Correspondent appears to have fallen into an error;
on reference he will find ether not washed is recommended _(Vol. vi., p.
277.)_; 2ndly, if he varnishes his pictures with amber varnish _(Vol. vii.,
p. 562.)_ previous to the application of the black varnish, which should be
_black lacquer_ and not _Brunswick black_, then he will succeed. Courtesy
demands a reply; but we must beg a more careful reading of our
recommendations, which will save him much disappointment._
