NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are compelled to omit our usual _Notes on Books_, &c., as well as
many interesting communications.

NOTES AND QUERIES may be procured by the Trade at noon on Friday:
so that our country Subscribers ought to experience no difficulty in
receiving it regularly. Many of the country Booksellers are probably
not yet aware of this arrangement, which enables them to receive
Copies in their Saturday parcels.

T.I. (Lincoln's Inn.) We fear there are mechanical difficulties
(besides others) to prevent our adopting the suggestion of our
Correspondent.

LONDON LIBRARY, 12. ST. JAMES'S SQUARE.

PATRON--HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.

supplied by the Circulating Libraries, now offers to its members a
collection of upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND volumes, to which additions
are constantly making, including almost every new work of interest
and importance, either in English or Foreign Literature. Price of the
large Catalogue already published, 5s.

Terms of Admission:--Entrance Free, 6l.; Annual Subscription, 2l.; or
Entrance Fee and Life Subscription, 26l.
