DEAR SIR,--For the information of your two correspondents, "A Subscriber," and "R. O. W." ("Current Notes" for December, p. 95), I beg to repeat my assertion that there was an edition of "The Holy Court," by N. Caussin, published in _Corke_. In fact, (if I mistake not), there were two editions, one in 1765, without plates; and one in 1767, with very excellent plates. I can procure an imperfect copy of the former for either of your correspondents for one shilling; and a fine copy of the latter for thirty to thirty-five shillings, full calf, with plates. The work was printed in Broad-lane--(perhaps so called quasi "lucus a non lucendo," as the lane is certainly rather narrow)--and was very well got up. The date and place of printing are thus given in the first edition: Corke: "Printed anno Domini 1765." I am, Sir, yours very truly, WM. C. NELIGAN. Mr. Willis. THE SONS OF NOAH. Dec. 22nd. SIR,--I have examined Parkhurst's Hebrew Lexicon with reference to O. S.--your correspondent's query, (see "Current Notes" for November, p. 85), concerning Shem, Ham, and Japhet, and cannot discover the names to have any such primary meaning as was there ascribed to them; though perhaps by a little straining, and a few far-fetched ideas, such an interpretation might be given--but it is so wholly unworthy of any one to torture his imagination to suppose that the original signification of words should have been framed to suit a climate, that nothing more need be said. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, C. M. J. Mr. Willis. TURKISH COIN. Southwick, near Oundle, Jan. 1st. 1852. SIR,--In Kitto's Cyclopædia of Biblical Literature, vol. 2. p. 379, there is a coin illustrated thus: "5. supposed ancient Jewish coin, representing drums." Kitto gives his authorities at the end of the article on Musical Instruments. [Illustration] Allow me to give the figure of the coin, and its interpretation: Read from left to right, the letters, or rather words, are: S F T R Ch N: in Turkish it reads, _The Boundary of the Turks_; and the two drum sticks ! are the pillars of Hercules, or the Calpe columna, and the Abyla columna.--_N.B._ The _S_ (for _sh_) is a Cuneiform letter. T. R. BROWN. Mr. Willis.
