EVERY READER OF NOTES AND QUERIES should possess a Copy of TODD'S INDEX
RERUM, decidedly the best Common-place Book extant, for recording Facts
and Data. It is far easier, simpler, and more useful than LOCKE'S, and
has been highly recommended by the most eminent scholars and literary
men. A recent Edition, Revised, in royal 8vo., strongly half-bound,
price 5_s._ 6_d._, has been published by RICHARD JAMES KENNETT, 14. York
Street, Covent Garden; and can be had of all Booksellers, by order.
[Star symbol] Sent free to any part of the Kingdom for 6_s._, by

MESSRS. PUTTICK and SIMPSON beg to announce that their season for SALES
of LITERARY PROPERTY will COMMENCE on NOVEMBER 1st. In addressing
Executors and others entrusted with the disposal of Libraries, and
collections (however limited or extensive) of Manuscripts, Autographs,
Prints, Pictures, Music, Musical Instruments, Objects of Art and Virtu,
and Works connected with Literature, and the Arts generally, they would
suggest a Sale by Auction as the readiest and surest method of obtaining
their full value; and conceive that the central situation of their
premises, 191. Piccadilly (near St. James's Church), their extensive
connexion of more than half a century's standing, and their prompt
settlement of the sale accounts in cash, are advantages that will not be
unappreciated. Messrs. P. & S. will also receive small Parcels of Books
or other Literary Property, and insert them in occasional Sales with
property of a kindred description, thus giving the same advantages to
the possessor of a few Lots as to the owner of a large Collection.
[Star symbol] Libraries Catalogued, Arranged, and Valued for the
Probate or Legacy Duty, or for Public or Private Sale.
