_Rev. J. Edwards on Metals for Telescopes_.--I shall feel obliged if any
of your correspondents can inform me where I can find a paper, called
"Directions for making the best Composition for the Metals of reflecting
Telescopes, and the Method of grinding, polishing, and giving the great
Speculum the true parabolic figure," by the Rev. John Edwards, B.A.
I saw it some years ago in on old journal or transactions, but Capt.
Cuttle's maxim not having been then given to the world, and being now
unable to make a search, I avail myself of your valuable publication.

_Colonel Blood's House_.--The notorious Colonel Blood is said to have
resided at a house in Peter Street, Westminster. Tradition points out
the corner of Tufton Street. Can any of your readers give me information
as to the correctness of this statement?
