W. B. (Birmingham) _is thanked. Our columns are at present too crowded to
allow of our availing ourselves of his kind offer._
C. M. C. _We do not believe that there is any published Life of the King of
the Belgians._
T. C. (Boston). _Caxton's_ Golden Legend _was printed in 1483, and
certainly not reprinted in London in 1843. The latter date must be a
misprint for the former._
