JEEDEE. _Notwithstanding Dr. Parr's assertion to the contrary, the _MALLEUS
MALEFICARUM_ is by no means an uncommon book, as may be seen by a reference
to Grüsse _(Bibliotheca Magica, p. 32.)_, where upwards of a dozen editions
are enumerated, and a table of its contents may be seen. The work has been
very fully analysed in the second volume of Horst's Dämonomagie, and, if we
remember rightly, its history is told by Soldan in his _Gesch. der
Hexenprocesse.
R.H. (Trin. Coll. Dub.) _will see that it is impossible to adopt his kind
suggestion without spoiling the uniformity of the work. We have a bound
copy of our First Volume now before us, and can assure him that, although
the margin is necessarily narrow the book has not been spoilt by the
binder._
J.S. Nortor _or _Nawter_ is only the provincial mode of pronouncing
_neatherd_. The _Nolt_ market is the ancient name of a street in
Newcastle--the cattle-market. See Brockett's _Gloss. of North Country
Words_, s.v. _NOWT_ or _NOLT.
A.H. (Stoke Newington). "Limbeck" _is used by Shakspeare for _"Alembic;"_
and in the passage in Macbeth_,--
"That memory, the warder of the brain,
Shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason
A limbeck only."
Receipt _is used in the sense of _receptacle_; and (we quote from one of
the commentators)_, "The _limbeck_ is the vessel through which distilled
liquors pass into the recipients. So shall it be with memory, through which
every thing shall pass, and nothing remain."
DJEDALEME TEBEYR. _Some of our correspondent's articles would, we have no
doubt, have appeared ere this, but for the difficulty of deciphering his
handwriting. Our correspondents little know how greatly they would
facilitate our labours by writing more legibly._
_Errata._--P. 406, col. 2. l. 45, for "vingto" read "MSto;" l. 48, for
"indefe_n_sus" read "indefe_s_sus." P. 469, col. 1. lines 44, 50, and 53,
for "Litt_ers_" read "Litt_us_."
In the advertisement of Mr. Appleyard's _Greek Church_, in our last Number,
p. 471, for "Darling, Great _Cullen_ Street," read "Darling, Great _Queen_
Street."
