POPE JOAN. W. M. H. _is assured that the article in_ No. 81. _was
written by_ R. R. M., _and not by the learned author, whose
communications we agree with_ W. M. H. _in wishing_ "_we saw still more
frequently in our pages_."
O. O. _The allusion in Tennyson to_--
"Her, who clasped in her last trance
Her murdered father's head,"
_is to Margaret Roper, who was buried with the head of her father, Sir
Thomas More, in her arms. See_ "NOTES AND QUERIES," Vol. iii., p. 10.

E. N. W. _The figures above the letters in the motto subscribed to the

Christian name_, Joannes; _those below the letters, his surname_,

Ways _as a reply to the Query on the subject?_

explain with reference to_ C. P.***'s _remark_, p. 450., _that a_ long
_reply to_ MR. EASTWOOD'S _Query was forwarded by him at the time; its_
length _indeed it was which necessarily led to its non-insertion at the
time._

CIRCULATION OF OUR PROSPECTUSES BY CORRESPONDENTS. _The suggestion of_
T. E. H., _that by way of hastening the period when we shall be
justified in permanently enlarging our Paper to 24 pages, we should
forward copies of our_ Prospectus _to correspondents who would kindly
enclose them to such friends as they think likely, from their love of
literature, to become subscribers to_ "NOTES AND QUERIES," _has already
been acted upon by several friendly correspondents, to whom we are
greatly indebted. We shall be most happy to forward Prospectuses for
this purpose to any other of our friends able and willing thus to assist
towards increasing our circulation._
