Questions and answers -- Periodicals
"_A lover and a student of all that is interesting or curious in literary
antiquity_, _my position necessarily debars me from all access to original
manuscripts_, _and to such volumes as are only to be found in large public
libraries_; _and also keeps me in ignorance of much that is going on in the
literary world_. _Thus there is a blank in the course of my favourite study
which is well filled up by your excellent and interesting periodical_. _It
is indeed a great boon to all situated as I am at a distance from the
fountain head of antiquarian knowledge._"
_Such an acknowledgment of our utility to our brethren abroad_, _is most
gratifying to us_. _We trust those of our readers who have friends and
relatives who are fond of literary pursuits_, _resident in the colonies_,
_will do them and us the kindness of directing their attention to_ "NOTES
AND QUERIES."
V. _is requested to say how we can address a letter to him_.
W. P. A. The Catalogue of Sir T. Phillip's MSS. _is privately printed_.
_There are copies_, _we believe_, _at the Bodleian_, _the Athenaeum_, _and
the Society of Antiquaries._
E. B. P. _Correct in this supposition._
W. A. _The Camden Society could not undertake the publication of the
proposed_ Monumentarium Anglicanum, _without neglecting the objects for
which it was more immediately instituted_.
D. K.'s _Query was in type before we received his reminder_. _We do not
acknowledge the receipt of Queries_, _from an anxiety not to occupy space
unnecessarily_.
C. W. _and_ B. W. E. _are both thanked for the friendly tone of their
communications_.
X. Y. Z. HALLAM'S LITERATURE OF EUROPE. _The supplemental notes on the_
Literature of Europe _have not yet been incorporated in any edition of that
work_. _They form a separate volume adapted to all the existing editions._
MONUMENTARIUM ANGLICANUM. _We continue to receive valuable communications
upon this subject_, _which we shall take an early opportunity of bringing
before our Readers._
DE H. _A private communication awaits this correspondent_. _Will he furnish
us with his address?_
_Among many communications which we are this week obliged to postpone for
want of room_, _we may mention_ MR. PETER CUNNINGHAM'S _Reply to_ MR. FOSS
_on the_ Outer Temple--_An interesting paper on_ The Lay of The Last
Minstrel, _and many Replies_.
REPLIES RECEIVED. _Post Conquestum--Quakers' Attempt to Convert the
Pope--Statute Sessions or Sittings--Thanksgiving Book--Locke MSS.--Poetry
of the Anti-Jacobin--Nullis Fraus, &c.--Meaning of Tye--Apple Pie
Order--Lancelot Lyttelton--Villenage--God takes those soonest--Sir H.
