AUCTOR.—We quite agree with our Correspondent that such contributions as that of BETA in No. 5., entitled "Prison Discipline and Execution of Justice," illustrate the manners and customs of the olden times far better than a whole volume of dissertations; and we gladly adopt his suggestion of inviting similar communications.

W.—We are happy to be enabled to inform our Correspondent that the Index to the Quarterly Review, Vols. LX. to LXXX. is to be published in February.

W.H.—The transcript kindly forwarded appears to be part of a copy of one of the Anonymous MS. Journals used by Sir Simonds D'Ewes in the compilation of his Journals of all the Parliaments of Elizabeth. Lond. Folio. 1682. It is all substantially in D'Ewes, and generally speaking it is there verbatim.

Many Notes, Queries, and Answers to Queries, which are in type, are unavoidably postponed until our next Number.

A neat Case for holding the Numbers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" is now ready, price 1s. 6d., and may be had by Order, of all Booksellers and Newsmen.

Preparing for Publication, handsomely printed in 8vo.

A SERIES OF EDITIONS OF THE GREEK AND LATIN CLASSICS,

To be issued under the general title of

BIBLIOTHECA CLASSICA

Edited by various hands, under the direction of GEORGE LONG, Esq., M.A., late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Classical Lecturer of Brighton College; and the Rev. ARTHUR JOHN MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge, and Principal of Brighton College.

Early in the ensuing year will be commenced a Series of the Greek and Roman Authors, carefully edited with English Notes, on a uniform plan. The series will be especially adapted to the wants of students in the higher forms of public schools and at the universities, and will embrace, in the first instance, those works which are usually read in the course of a classical education.

The works will be edited by various hands; and, to secure uniformity and consistency in execution, the series will be under the united management of Mr. Long and Mr. Macleane.

The first volume will be ready early in 1850. The subsequent volumes will be published at intervals, as regularly as may be found practicable, at the rate of four or five volumes in the year.

The following works are undertaken by the gentlemen whose names are set opposite:—

The undermentioned volumes are already in progress, and are expected to appear during 1850-1: —

HERODOTUS, Three Volumes.

ILIAD, One Volume.

HORACE, Two Volumes.

CICERO, Orations, Vol. I.

PLATO, Dialogues, Vol. I.

TACITUS, Vol. I.

Each work will be sold separately; but, as the Publishers expect that they will be enabled to extend the series until it shall approximate to a complete collection of the Greek and Latin Classics, and as they have reason to think that such a collection would be found an acceptable addition to all public and private Libraries, they hope to receive the names of persons who are willing to give encouragement to the scheme, as Subscribers to the entire Series.

WHITTAKER & Co. Ave Maria Lane; and GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street.

Vols. I. and II. 8vo. Price 28s. cloth.

THE JUDGES OF ENGLAND; from the time of the Conquest

By EDWARD FOSS, F.S.A.

"It supplies what was much wanted—a regular and progressive account of English legal institutions. The result is, a correction of many errors, an addition of much new information, and a better general view of our strictly legal history than any other jurist, historian, or biographer, had heretofore attempted to give."– Examiner

LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, and LONGMANS.

A CHROMO-LITHOGRAPHIC DRAWING OF THE PAINTED CEILING IN THE NAVE OF PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL, coloured as in the original, by G. STRICKLAND. This curious relic of Ecclesiastical Decoration of The Twelfth Century is considered to be the finest specimen of its character and period in Great Britain; it is in a high state of preservation and no representation of it exists. The Drawing is six feet long, and its details all bear the same relative proportions as the original.
