J. O. D. M. (Worthing). _Mr. Alison the author of_ THE NEW REFORMATION,

ANTIQUAE, vol. ii. p. 42. _There are no collective editions of the

apology to_ DR. HENRY _for having nodded, and so allowed the word_
impertinent _to pass unerased from a comment upon his Note on_ Servius.
_It is an epithet which certainly ought neither to have been applied to
him, nor admitted into our columns._

MESSRS. PUTTICK AND SIMPSON beg to announce that their season for SALES
of LITERARY PROPERTY will COMMENCE on NOVEMBER 1st, and would call
attention to the ensuing List of Sales in preparation by them. In
addressing Executors and others entrusted with the disposal of
Libraries, and collections (however limited or extensive) of
Manuscripts, Autographs, Prints, Picture, Music, Musical Instruments,
Objects of Art and Virtu, and Works connected with Literature, and the
Arts generally, 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 (near St. James Church), their
extensive connexion of more than half a century's standings, 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 the owner of a large Collection.
