_The commencement of a New Volume with the present Number affords a
favourable opportunity to gentlemen resident in the country to commence
the work. The Subscription for the Stamped Edition of "NOTES AND
QUERIES" is ten shillings and twopence for six months, which may be paid
by Post-Office Order, drawn in favour of our Publisher_, MR. GEORGE
BELL, No. 186. Fleet Street.
CIRCULATION OF OUR PROSPECTUSES BY CORRESPONDENTS. _The suggestion of_
T. E. H., _that by way of hastening the period when we shall be
justified in permanently enlarging our Paper to 24 pages, we should
forward copies of our_ Prospectus _to correspondents who would kindly
enclose them to such friends as they think likely, from their love of
literature, to become subscribers to "NOTES AND QUERIES," has already
been acted upon by several friendly correspondents, to whom we are
greatly indebted. We shall be most happy to forward Prospectuses for
this purpose to any other of our friends able and willing thus to assist
towards increasing our circulation._
_VOLS. I. and II., each with very copious Index, may still be had, price
9s. 6d. each. Vol. III. will be ready in a few days._
NOTES AND QUERIES _may be procured, by order, of all Booksellers and
Newsvenders. It is published at noon on Friday, so that our country
Subscribers ought not to experience any difficulty in procuring it
regularly. Many of the country Booksellers, &c., are, probably, not yet
aware of this arrangement, which will enable them to receive NOTES AND
QUERIES in their Saturday parcels._
_All communications for the Editor of NOTES AND QUERIES should be
addressed to the care of_ MR. BELL, No. 186. Fleet Street.
_Errata._--No. 84. p. 469., for "John Kento_r_" read "John Fento_n_."
No. 86, p. 504., for "_Or_dardus" read "Odardus;" p. 509. for "the _w_
is _sometimes sounded_ like _oo_," read "the _w_ is _sounded something_
like _oo_."
