The more literal accuracy of this version, and the number of the quatrain (interpreted by the commentator to refer to the year of Charles's death), induce doubts as to its authenticity. Collections of early editions of Nostradamus are not of frequent occurrence in England: but I am told that a fine series exists in the "Bibliothèque du Roi," and as the subject is interesting, some one, perhaps, out of the many readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" who will visit Paris this holiday time may be induced to examine them, and make a note of the _earliest_ edition in which the latter form of the prediction occurs. SPERIEND. 52. _Quaker Expurgated Bible._--In an extremely curious and interesting volume entitled _Quakerism, or the Story of my Life_, I meet with the following passage, p. 386.: "About four years ago, an English Friend waited on me, to request me to enter my name as a subscriber to an edition of the Bible, which a Committee of Friends were intending to publish. The printed prospectus stated that the work was designed to be one suited for daily perusal in Friends' families; that from it would be carefully excluded every passage that was indelicate, and unfit for reading aloud; and also those portions which might be called dangerous, which it was possible the unlearned and unstable might wrest to their own destruction." Can any of your readers tell whether this expurgated Bible was ever published, and where it is to be procured? A copy of the prospectus alluded to would also be very acceptable. T. 53. _Salmon Fishery in the Thames._--This was once of great importance to the inhabitants of the villages upon the banks of the Thames, who appear to have had each their assigned bounds for their fishery. In the Churchwardens' Book of Wandsworth, under date 1580, is the following entry: "M.D. that this yere in so[=m]er the fishinge Rome of Wandesworthe was by certen of Putney denyed, and long sute before my L. Mayor of London continued, and at the last, accordinge to Right, restored by the Lord Mayor and the Councell of London. And in this so[=m]er the fysshers of Wandesworthe tooke betweene Monday and Saturday seven score salmons in the same fishinge, to the gret honor of God." I have heard my mother say, that Thames salmon was plentiful when she was a younger woman, and that it was the most esteemed of any. She died recently, aged eighty-nine. Shall we ever have Thames salmon again? R. J. R. 54. _Cromwell Grants of Land in Monaghan._--Are there any records, and where, of grants of land in the county of Monaghan, Ireland, as made by Cromwell? E. A. 55. _Siege of Londonderry._--Are there any details of the siege of Londonderry, particularly as to the names of officers engaged on the Protestant side, other than those to be found in Walker, Mackensie, or Graham's account of it?
