[This Bible was published in 1830, as far as chap. xix. of the Second
Book of Kings, with the following title: _The Holy Bible, according to
the Established Version: with the Exception of the Substitution of the
Original Hebrew Names, in place of the English Words, Lord and God, and
of a few corrections thereby rendered necessary. With Notes._ London:
Westley and Davis, 4to. It contains a Preface of four pages, and a list
of the Meaning or Signification of the Sacred Names substituted in this
edition, of nine pages. A copy of it is in the British Museum, the
press mark 1276 h.]
_Proclamations to prohibit the Use of Coal, as Fuel, in London._--Dr.
Bachoffner, in the lecture which he is now delivering at the Royal
Polytechnic Institution, mentions the fact that three separate
proclamations were issued for this purpose, and that it was at last made a
capital offence; and a man was actually accused, tried, condemned, and
executed for burning coal within the metropolis. Now what I want to
ascertain relative to the above facts, is: 1. The date of each; 2. Any
particulars that you or any of your correspondents may be kind enough to
furnish; 3. The name, and station, trade, or profession of the person so
executed.
As Dr. Bachoffner has now often reiterated the above statement at the
Polytechnic, and as it has always been received (at least when I have been
there) with acclamations of surprise, I have no doubt that the particulars
will interest many of your readers.
