NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are sorry to have been unable to supply perfect sets of our Paper to so many applicants.  With the view of doing so, we will give sixpence each for clean copies of No. 1., and full price for No. 2.

We have to explain to correspondents who inquire as to the mode of procuring “NOTES and QUERIES,” that every bookseller and newsman will supply it, if ordered, and that 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.).

B. requests us to correct an omission in his transcript from Mr. De Morgan’s Note in our last week’s Number, p. 108.:  Johnson’s remark should have been—­“Let me see:  forty times forty is sixteen hundred. As three to sixteen hundred, so is the proportion, &c.  The words in Roman were omitted.

MELANION and other valued contributors are begged not to suppose their contributions are declined because they are postponed.  We have procured the book MELANION has referred us to, and hope in the course of two or three weeks to bring the subject forward in a manner to give general satisfaction.

Greenhill’s Exposition of Ezekiel with Observations thereupon, reprinted in 1839, in imp. 8vo., is marked in C. J. Stewart’s Catalogue, at 18s.
