SIR,--If your refer to your "Current Notes" for April last, you will
find engraved, at p. 27, a tobacco pipe, found when the Golden Lion Inn
at Fulham was pulled down in April, 1836. Now, Sir, it appears to me
that this drawing of mine has been copied, without acknowledgment, from
your Notes, in the Transactions of the Historical Society of Lancashire
and Cheshire, Session iii. 1850-51, to illustrate a paper by Andrew
James Lamb, Esq. Plate IV. No. 14. If not, I humbly conceive that Mr.
Lamb, or the Rev. Dr. Hume, the Secretary, on behalf of the Society,
is bound to state where the original pipe which figures in their
Transactions exists, and how and when Mr. Lamb obtained his drawing
or knowledge of it. This alone can disprove the charge which I make
against the Historical Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, of _copying
without acknowledgment_, my sketch _from Willis's Notes_.

ARCHÆOLOGICAL PUBLICATIONS.--In addition to those enumerated in G. W.'s
"Current Notes" for December (p. 93), the first Number of "_Reliquiæ_
Antiquæ Eboracenses, or Remains of Antiquities relating to York," has
appeared.
In answer to W. B.'s communications, G. W. conceives that the best mode
of making a local work of this nature known, would be by a circular
letter addressed to the resident Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of
Yorkshire, soliciting their countenance and support.
The information desired respecting the publications of the
Archæological Societies named, may be obtained by W. B. addressing
himself to their respective Secretaries, _viz._
M. A. LOWER, Esq., Lewes.
REV. DR. HUME, Liverpool.
WILLIAM AYRTON, Esq., Chester.
SAMUEL TYMMS, Esq., Bury St. Edmunds, and
HENRY HARROD, Esq., Norwich.
SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.
Mr. Willis is informed with reference to a paragraph which appeared
in his "Current Notes" for December, p. 93, that the Society of
Antiquaries of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, whose issues have been suspended
since 1846, will forthwith resume publishing.
THE SLOGANS OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND have been published by Mr. G. B.
Richardson, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
THE BRITISH MUSEUM.--A recent resolution of the Trustees of this
National Establishment has been considered, in certain Antiquarian
circles, to present "_a fair specimen of double-dealing_."
AN IRISH NUMISMATIST.
AUTOGRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY.
January 3rd, 1852.
SIR,--I trust I shall not trespass upon the limits of your courtesy, if
I beg your assistance with regard to the accompanying list of names,
about whom I am anxious to gain any information as to dates of birth,
death, or any subject of interest connected with the individuals.
