[Our correspondents who have written upon the subject of Hanap
are referred to Halliwell's _Archaic Dictionary_, where they
will find "HANAP, a cup. _Test. Vet._ p. 99.;" to Ducange,
s.v. "HANAPUS, HANAPPUS, HANAPHUS, vas, patera, crater, (Vas
ansatum et pede instructum, quo a poculo distinguitur), ex
Saxonico _Hnaep_, _Hnaeppa_, Germ. _Napf_, calix patera;"
and to Guenebault, _Dict. Iconographique des Monuments_, who
refers again for particulars of this species of drinking cup
to the works of Soumerard and Willemin.]

_Life of W. Godwin._--"N.'s" inquiry (No. 26. p. 415.) for an account
of the life of W. Godwin, and more particularly of his last hours,
leads me to express hope in your columns that the memoirs of Godwin,
which were announced for publication shortly after his death, but
which family disputes, as I have understood, prevented from appearing,
may not much longer be denied to the public. I am not aware of any
better account of Godwin's life, to which "N." can now be referred,
than the sketch in the _Penny Cyclopædia_.
