Notices to Correspondents

D. A. A. will find an answer to his Query, "Was St. Patrick ever in Ireland?" in our 5th Vol. p. 561., from the pen of that accomplished scholar, the Rev. Dr. Rock.

We have to apologise to many of our Shakspearian correspondents for the delay which has taken place in the insertion of their communications. A. E. B. will perceive that we have complied with his request in substituting for immediate publication the paper he sent this week, instead of one by him which has been in type for two or three weeks.

The coincident communications from two correspondents on Falstaff's death,—Mr. Singer's valuable emendation of a passage in Romeo and Juliet,—and Mr. Blink's and Mr. Rawlinson's respective communications, shall have our earliest attention.

We are also compelled to postpone our usual replies to Photographic Querists.

Mr. Merritt's Photographic specimens are very satisfactory. There can be no doubt that, with perseverance, he will accomplish everything that can be desired in this useful and pleasing art.

"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.
