PHILO is thanked for his proposed endeavours to enlarge our circulation.  We trust all our friends and correspondents will follow PHILO’s example by bringing NOTES AND QUERIES under the notice of such of their friends as take an interest in literary pursuits.  For it is obvious that they will extend the usefulness of our Paper, in proportion as they increase its circulation.

We have received many complaints of a difficulty in procuring our paper.  Every Bookseller and Newsvender will supply it if ordered, and gentlemen residing in the country may be supplied regularly with the Stamped Edition, by giving their orders direct to the publisher, MR. GEORGE BELL, 186.  Fleet Street, accompanied by a Post Office order for a quarter (4s. 4d.).  All communications should be addressed To the Editor of “NOTES AND QUERIES_,” 186.  Fleet Street.

A neat Case for holding a Year’s Numbers (52) of NOTES AND QUERIES is preparing, in consequence of the suggestion of several Subscribers, and will very soon be ready._
