Notices to Correspondents.

We have postponed Icon's friendly letter on the Shakspeare Correspondence until next week, when we propose to accompany it by some few observations of our own. We shall take that opportunity also of noticing a communication with which we have been favoured by Mr. Singer.

Z. will find some illustrations of his Queries on Passages from Milton and Gray discussed in our present Number. The other shall appear in an early Number.

A. B. C. It does not follow that, because we thought the one paper sent us by this Correspondent worthy of insertion in our columns, every other which he may favour us with is to be printed.

Greek Inscription on a Font.—We have been reminded by several friendly Correspondents that this Query, inserted ante, p. 198., had been discussed in our preceding Volume, pp. 178, 366. 417.

Z. Mr. Winston's book, published by Parker of Oxford, will give him the best information on the subject of Stained or Coloured Glass.

R. W. E. (Clifton). Would our Correspondent oblige us by forwarding a copy of the 1st No. of the Curiosities of Bristol and its Neighbourhood?

C. will find that his Query respecting Grinning like a Cheshire Cat has been anticipated, "N. & Q.," Vol. ii., pp. 377. 412. Vol. v., p. 402.

J. E.'s Query has been long since put and answered, as he will see by an article in the present Number.

T. D. S. (Ruthin). In all probability there is a deficiency of acetic acid in your developing solution, or the acetic acid is impure and is adulterated with sulphuric acid. A few drops of nitrate of baryta would test the purity.

Colouring Collodion Pictures.—We should like to see a specimen of Mr. Lane's skill, and should be very happy to insert his process.

Photography at Bath.—We understand that a pamphlet impugning the correctness of some processes given in "N. & Q." has been published at Bath, but, as we know neither the author's name nor the publisher, have to request information on those points from some Bath photographer.

Errata.—In p. 194., for "bytleing" read "bything;" for "byth" read "bytl.;" p. 195., the 24th line from the bottom the page, for "the prenzie Angelo", read "the prenze Angelo;" p. 207., for "parish of West Fetton" read "parish of West Felton."

A few complete sets of "Notes and Queries," Vols. i. to vii., price Three Guineas and a Half, may now be had; for which early application is desirable.

"Notes and Queries" is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.

INDIGESTION, CONSTIPATION, NERVOUSNESS, &c.—BARRY, DU BARRY & CO.'S HEALTH-RESTORING FOOD for INVALIDS and INFANTS.

THE REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD,

the only natural, pleasant, and effectual remedy (without medicine, purging, inconvenience, or expense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other remedies) for nervous, stomachic, intestinal, liver and bilious complaints, however deeply rooted, dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual constipation, diarrhœa, acidity, heartburn, flatulency, oppression, distension, palpitation, eruption of the skin, rheumatism, gout, dropsy, sickness at the stomach during pregnancy, at sea, and under all other circumstances, debility in the aged as well as infants, fits, spasms, cramps, paralysis, &c.

A few out of 50,000 Cures:—

Cure, No. 71, of dyspepsia; from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart de Decies:—"I have derived considerable benefits from your Revalenta Arabica Food, and consider it due to yourselves and the public to authorise the publication of these lines.—Stuart de Decies."

Cure, No. 49,832:—"Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness at the stomach and vomitings have been removed by Du Barry's excellent food.—Maria Jolly, Wortham Ling, near Diss, Norfolk."

Cure, No. 180:—"Twenty-five years' nervousness, constipation, indigestion, and debility, from which I had suffered great misery, and which no medicine could remove or relieve, have been effectually cured by Du Barry's food in a very short time.—W. R. Reeves, Pool Anthony, Tiverton."

Cure, No. 4,206:—"Eight years' dyspepsia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, for which my servant had consulted the advice of many, have been effectually removed by Du Barry's delicious food in a very short time. I shall be happy to answer any inquiries.—Rev. John W. Flavell, Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk."

Dr. Wurzer's Testimonial.

"Bonn, July 19, 1852.

"This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent, nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also diarrhœa, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemorrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

"Dr. Rud Wurzer. "Counsel of Medicine, and practical M.D. in Bonn."

Regent Street, London, in full, without which none is genuine.

SOME ACCOUNT of DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND, from the Conquest to the end of the Thirteenth Century, with numerous Illustrations of Existing Remains from Original Drawings. By T. HUDSON TURNER.

"What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has done for oil-painting—elucidated its history and traced its progress in England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the successive Sovereigns of the realm—Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved for Domestic Architecture in this country during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries."—Architect.

"The writer of the present volume ranks among the most intelligent of the craft, and a careful perusal of its contents will convince the reader of the enormous amount of labour bestowed on its minutest details, as well as the discriminating judgment presiding over the general arrangement."—Morning Chronicle.

"The book of which the title is given above is one of the very few attempts that have been made in this country to treat this interesting subject in anything more than a superficial manner.

"Mr. Turner exhibits much learning and research, and he has consequently laid before the reader much interesting information. It is a book that was wanted, and that affords us some relief from the mass of works on Ecclesiastical Architecture with which of late years we have been deluged.

"The work is well illustrated throughout with wood-engravings of the more interesting remains, and will prove a valuable addition to the antiquary's library."—Literary Gazette.

"It is as a text-book on the social comforts and condition of the Squires and Gentry of England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, that the leading value of Mr. Turner's present publication will be found to consist.

"Turner's handsomely-printed volume is profusely illustrated with careful woodcuts of all important existing remains, made from drawings by Mr. Blore and Mr. Twopeny."—Athenæum.

JOHN HENRY PARKER, Oxford; and 377. Strand, London.

Now ready, price 21s. uniform with the above,

THE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE MIDDLE AGES. Vol. II.—THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY. By the Editor of "The Glossary of Architecture."

This volume is issued on the plan adopted by the late Mr. Hudson Turner in the previous volume: viz., collecting matter relating to Domestic buildings of the Period, from cotemporary records, and applying the information so acquired to the existing remains.

Not only does the volume contain much curious information both as to the buildings and manners and customs of the time, but it is also hoped that the large collection of careful Engravings of the finest examples will prove as serviceable to the profession and their employers in building mansions, as the Glossary was found to be in building churches.

The Text is interspersed throughout with numerous woodcuts.
