S. A. S. (Bridgewater). Will our Correspondent repeat his Query respecting Loselerius Vilerius?

Quesor. Lord Bacon's History of Henry VII. was first published in 1622.

W. B. The mercury does not lose its power by use, but should when it becomes oxydized, be strained by squeezing it through wash-leather.

Stains may be removed from the finger by cyanide of potassium; but this must be used cautiously, as it is very poisonous.
