J. N. C. will see by this week's Number, that the line to which he refers is from Hamlet.

K. R. H. M's communication was marked for insertion before we received his Note.

W. F. We were quite unable to attend to your wishes this week.

STUPIDITAS. We have never known such failures to take place as you describe. In all probability you have not perfectly immersed your paper in the saline solution. Half a drachm of muriate of soda, and the same quantity of muriate of bargtes and muriate of ammonia, dissolved in a quart of water, forms a very excellent application for the paper, previous to the use of the

ammonio-nitrate.

H. HENDERSON.

Any application applied to your window would in a great part obstruct the light. Brushing it over with starch might be tried.

B-z. Yes. Many of the very best pictures in the Photographic Exhibition in Bond Street, as we may probably take an opportunity of pointing out in some future notice of that interesting collection, are from collodion negatives.

PRICE OF IODIDE OF POTASSIUM. I beg to say that the price named by me, i. e. 1s. 3d, per oz., for iodide of potassium, is quoted from the list of Messrs. Simpson and Maule, Kennington Road. F. MAXWELL Lyte.

Notwithstanding, therefore, the great demand for the Work, a few copies may still be secured by early written application.

"Not an idle addition to the many various impressions already existing in our literature of Goethe's masterpiece, but an edition prepared for the use of those students of German who read without a master. First we have the original text complete. Then the grammatical notes, which occupy the place of a vocabulary, repeat the whole of the text in both German and English, classified according to Doctor Lebahn's system, and with reciprocal references to the pages and rules of grammar. The plan is highly ingenious, and we may add that the numerous extracts from other German authors, which illustrate the meanings of Goethe, will be often found very curious and interesting."- Examiner.

ENGLISH BOOKS OF EMBLEMS.

It is a remarkable circumstance, that whilst the emblems of Alciatus went through almost innumerable editions, and were translated into most of the continental languages, no version of these Emblems should ever have been printed in this country, although we believe that MS. translations of them are in existence. It is remarkable also that more than half a century should have elapsed after their appearance, before any English publication on this subject should have been committed to the press. Our English authors of Books of Emblems were not only late in their appearance, but are few in number, and in their embellishments not very original, the plates being for the most part mere copies of those already published abroad by Herman Hugo, Rollenhagius, and others. The notices of the English writers on this entertaining subject are also but meagre and imperfect, and restricted to a very few works; both Dibdin, in his slight and rapid sketch on Books of Emblems in the Bibliogr. Decam., vol. i. p. 254., and the writer in the Retrosp. Rev., vol. ix. p. 123., having confined their remarks to some one or two of the leading writers only, Arwaker, Peacham, Quarles, Whitney, and Wither. With the exception of an occasional article in the Bibl. Ang. Poet., Cens. Liter. Restituta, and similar bibliographical volumes, we are not aware that any other notice has been taken of this particular branch of our literature*, nor does there exist,

* We must exempt from this sweeping assertion a very interesting and well-written account of works on this subject, entitled "A Sketch of that Branch of Literature called Books of Emblems, as it flourished during the 16th and 17th centuries, by Joseph Brooks Yates, Esq., F. S.A.," of West Dingle, near Liverpool, the friend of Roscoe, and the worthy and intelligent President of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, read at their meetings, and of which two parts have already been printed in their volumes of Proceedings. This "Sketch" only requires to be enlarged and completed, with specimens added of the different styles of the engravings, to render it everything that is to be desired on the subject.

that we know of, any complete, separate, and distinct catalogue of such works.

Being anxious, therefore, to obtain a correct account of what may be termed the English Series of Books of Emblems, I inclose a list of all those in my own possession, and of the titles of such others as I have been able to collect; and I shall be glad if any of your readers can make any additions to the series, confining them at the same time strictly to Books of Emblems, and not admitting fables, heraldic works, or other publications not coming within the same category. A good comprehensive work on this subject of Books of Emblems, not confined merely to the English series, but embracing the whole foreign range, giving an account both of the writers of the verses, and also of the engravers, and the different styles of art in each, is still a great desideratum in our literary history; and if ably and artistically done, with suitable illustrations of the various engravings and other ornaments, would form a very interesting, instructive, and entertaining volume; and I sincerely hope that the time will not be far distant when such a volume will be found in our libraries.

I conclude with a Query of inquiry, whether anything is known of the present resting-place of a Treatise on Emblems, which the late Mr. Beloe informs us, at the close of his Literary Anecdotes, vol. vi. p. 406., he had written at "considerable length," from communications furnished him by the Marquis of Blandford, whose collection of Emblems was at that time one of the richest and most extensive in the kingdom, and whose treatise, if published, might perhaps prove a valuable addition to our information on this portion of our literature.

I would also inquire who was Thomas Combe, and what did he write, who is thus mentioned by Meres in his Palladis Tamia: Wits Treasury, Lond. 1598, 8vo., as one of our English writers of Emblems: "As the Latines have those emblematists, Andreas Alciatus, Reusnerus, and Sambucus, so we have these, Geffrey Whitney, Andrew Willet, and Thomas Combe." Is anything known of the latter, or of his writings? THOMAS CORSER.
