W. L. B.'_s description of the coin found at Horndon is not sufficiently
clear. It is, doubtless, a billon piece of the lower empire. If he will
send us an impression, in_ sealing-wax, _we may probably be enabled to give
him a description of it._

Southey in_ The Doctor. See, too, NOTES AND QUERIES, Vol. I., pp. 382. 475.

Errata. In No. 51. p. 347, for "[Greek: theion]" read "[Greek: theon];"
for "Perchi" read "Perche;" and also the curious misprints (caused by a
transposition of type) alluded to in the following note:--
"Referring to my friend R. G.'s 'Bibliographical Queries' (which are
always worth referring to), will you allow me to ask yourself, and him
if you cannot tell, whether it is by the mistake of your printer, or of
the original one, that in the fourth Query (p. 324. line 10.) the
letters of two words are so transposed that 'Vrbe germanie' is turned
into 'Vrbanie germe?'"
