Notices to Correspondents.
BOOKS WANTED.--_We believe that gentlemen in want of particular books,
either by way of loan or purchase, would find great facilities in obtaining
them if their names and addresses were published, so that parties having
the books might communicate directly with those who want them. Acting on
this belief, we shall take advantage of the recent alteration in the law
respecting advertisements, and in future, where our Correspondents desire
to avail themselves of this new arrangement, shall insert their names and
addresses--unless specially requested not to do so._
ALL COMMUNICATIONS _should be addressed to the Editor, to the care of_ Mr.
Bell, 186. Fleet Street. _They should be_ distinctly _written; and care
should be taken that all Quotations are copied with accuracy; and in all
cases of References to Books the editions referred to should be specified.
Every distinct subject should form a separate communication; all inquiries
respecting communications forwarded for insertion should specify the
subjects of such communications._
OUR PROSPECTUS _has been reprinted at the suggestion of several
Correspondents, and we shall be happy to forward copies to any friends who
may desire to assist us by circulating them._
_We have just received the following communication:_
_"Binocular Compound Microscope._--Will you allow me an _exiguum_ of your
periodical for the purpose of explaining a seeming plagiarism at page 32.
of my _Essay on the Stereoscope_? I have just seen, for the first time, the
October number of the _Journal of Microscopical Science_, whereby I learn
that Mr. Wenham and Mr. Riddell have anticipated me in the theory of the
_Binocular Compound Microscope_. Up to this time I was not aware of the
fact that the subject had received the attention it deserves, and my own
suggestions, founded upon a series of careful experiments made during the
last eight months, were thrown out for the simple purpose of calling
attention to the utility and practicability of a _Binocular Compound
Microscope_.
