Notices to Correspondents.
J. D. (Cheltenham). _The work you allude to is Wace's_ Roman de Brut,
_which was published under the editorship of M. Le Roux de Lincy in 1836._
B. O. _The paginal references are omitted to the extracts from Mr.
Buckley's translation of Æschylus; but probably the original text would
solve the Query._
R. _The print of a bishop burnt in Smithfield cannot be identified without
a sight of the engraving._
G. D. _For the origin of Plough Monday, see Brady's_ Clavis Calendaria,
_vol. i. pp. 160-162.; and Brand's_ Popular Antiquities, _vol. i. pp.
505-508. (Bohn's edition)._
_A Communication from_ DR. DIAMOND _on the manufacture of collodion, and
also a very interesting one from_ MR. J. MAXWELL LYTE, _in our next
Number._
ANONYMOUS PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENT. _We have given in former Numbers
admirable formulæ for printing positives._ MR. POLLOCK_'s mode on
albumenised paper produces beautiful results, as does also the more simple
one recommended by_ DR. DIAMOND. _In one of our earliest Photographic
communications an iodized form was given which may be used by feeble or
artificial light, and which is highly useful._
A. R. (Bombay). _Iodide of silver should not be dried for photographic
purposes after it is formed; therefore you must rest contented to approach
the nearest you can to the requisite quantity by careful manipulation. A
note appended to our photographic article in this Number sufficiently
indicates how often we must depend upon our own judgment, and how difficult
it is to reduce Photography to exact laws when the substances used are so
constantly varying._
T. M. _The sample sent of Whatman's writing-paper iodizes most beautifully.
It has always been the case that paper made for ordinary purposes is often
much better than that made for Photography alone._
OUR EIGHTH VOLUME _is now bound and ready for delivery, price 10s. 6d.,
cloth, boards. A few sets of the whole Eight Volumes are being made up,
price 4l. 4s.--For these early application is desirable._

WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL, Broad Sanctuary, opposite Westminster Abbey.--This
Hospital was instituted in the year 1719, and is the oldest hospital in
England supported by voluntary contributions. The high prices of provisions
and coals have materially increased the current expenditure, and a sum of
not less than 800l. is required to meet the payment of the tradesmen's
bills to Christmas last. 16,000 persons are relieved annually, and the
doors of the Hospital are open night and day for the reception of cases of
accident and urgent disease. The Committee earnestly entreat the aid of the
benevolent at the present time.
Donations and subscriptions will be thankfully received by MESSRS. BOUVERIE
& CO., 11. Haymarket; MESSRS. HOARE & CO., Fleet Street; by the HON. P.
PLEYDELL BOUVERIE, and P. R. HOARE, ESQ., the joint Treasurers; or by the
Secretary at the Hospital.
