WARWICK. _The paragraph respecting the Crystal Palace has already appeared in our columns._ SIGMA. _How can we forward a letter to this Correspondent?_ ENQUIRER. _Our Correspondent's Query is not apparent. The Rolls House and Chapel, in Chancery Lane, never "reverted to their original use," that is, as a House of Maintenance for Converted Jews._ J. G. T. _For the origin of Bands worn by clergymen, lawyers, and others, see our Second Volume_, pp. 23. 76. 126. "VITA CRUCEM," &c. _We have to apologise for having mislaid the copy of the following distich, requesting a translation as well as the authorship of it:_ "Vita crucem, et vivas, hominem si noscere velles, Quis, quid, cur, cujus passus amore fuit." _Which may be literally translated, _"Shun the Cross, that you may live, if you would know Him aright, Who and what He was, why and for love of whom He suffered."_ These lines seem to be a caveat against the adoration of the material Cross, and were probably composed during the domination of the fanatics in Cromwell's time, when that redoubtable Goth, Master William Dowsing, demolished whatever was inscribed with the Cross, whether of brass, marble, or other material.--Our Correspondent will find the line, _"A falcon towering in his pride of place,"_ in _Macbeth_, Act II. Sc. 4._ OUR EIGHTH VOLUME _is now bound and ready for delivery, price 10s. 6d., cloth, boards. A few sets of the whole Eight Volumes are being made up, price 4l. 4s.--For these 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_. * * * * * On the 1st of June, and on the first day of every Month, will be published, price Sixpence, the JOURNAL OF PROGRESS: An Advocate of advanced Views in SOCIAL, MORAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND POLITICAL ECONOMY; and RECORD OF STATISTICS.
