"Ferrante Gonzaga, d'Arras, and Don Diego, are in a leage,
utterlie bent to myslyke, and to charge _by hook or by
crooke_, anything don, or to be don, by the thre fyrst."

_Cupid Crying_.--The beautiful epigram upon this subject, which
appeared in No. 11 p. 172., was kindly quoted, "for its extreme
elegance," by the _Athenaeum_ of the 26th January, which
produced the following communication to that journal of Saturday
last:--

"Will the correspondent of the 'NOTES AND QUERIES,' whose pretty
epigram appears copied into your _Athenaeum_ of Saturday last,
accept the following as a stop-gap pending the discovery of the
Latin original?

"En lacrymosus Amor! Fidem quia perdidit arcum
Vapulat! Exultans Caelia tela tenet.
Ast illam potuitne Puer donare sagittis?
Subrisit:--Matrem credidit esse suam.

"[Greek: Amorphota]. 5."

_Miry-land Town._--As an addition to the note of "J.R.F." (p.
167. No. 11.) on Miry-land Town, and by way of corroboration of his
reading, I may just mention that the towns and villages in the Weald
of Kent are familiarly spoken of as places "down in the mud," by the
inhabitants of other parts of the country. Those who are acquainted
with the Weald will agree that this designation is not undeserved.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

The Surtees Society, for the publication of inedited MSS.
illustrative of the intellectual, moral, religious, and social
condition of those parts of the United Kingdom which constitute the
ancient kingdom of Northumberland, has been remodelled. The
subscription for the year is one guinea, and the works in immediate
preparation are, 1. "The Injunctions and other Ecclesiastical
Proceedings of Richard Barnes, Bishop of Durham (1577-87);" and, 2.
"The Anglo-Saxon Hymnarium."

We have great pleasure in directing attention to the _Exhibition
of Works of Ancient and Mediaeval Art_ which is to be opened in
the Adelphi next month.

This is a great opportunity for forming an Exhibition of a novel and
most interesting kind, one which is calculated both to interest and
amuse the archaeologist and the public, and to instruct the artizan
and the manufacturer. We sincerely hope possessors of articles
suitable for exhibition, will not fail to take advantage of it. They
should immediately enter into communication with the Hono
