Notes and Queries, Number 181, April 16, 1853

is from Congreve's Mourning Bride, Act I. Sc. I.

J. L. S. We will endeavour to ascertain the value of the copy of Naunton, and tell our Correspondent when we write to him.

C. Gonville. We hope this Correspondent has received the letter forwarded to him on Saturday or Monday last. His letter has been sent on.

E. P., Jun. The best account of Nuremburg Tokens is Snelling's View of the Origin, Nature and Use of Jettons or Counters. London, 1769, folio.

Nemo. Thanks to its excellent Index, we are enabled, by Cunningham's Handbook of London, to inform him that Vanburgh was buried in the family vault of the Vanburghs in St. Stephen's, Walbrook.

C. M. J. will find the reference to "Language given to man," &c., in Vol. vi., p. 575., in an article on South and Talleyrand.

Photosulph, who asks whether, when using the developing solution, it is necessary to blow upon the glass, is informed that it is not necessary; but that, when there is a hesitation in the flowing of the fluid, blowing gently on the glass promotes it, and the warmth of the breath sometimes causes a more speedy development.

X. A. We cannot enter into any discussion respecting lenses. We have more than once fully recognised the merits of those manufactured by Mr. Ross: but never having used one of them, we could not speak of them from our own experience. We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our Correspondents.

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