"_Archæologia Cambrensis, Vol. I., 2nd Edit._"--In reply to the Queries

of R. H. (see No. 125. p. 274.), 1. "Why the reprinted pages of the 1st

volume of the _Archæologia Cambrensis_ do not agree with those in the

original copies?" and 2. Why "nearly a whole page of _interesting

matter_ has been omitted?"--it may be sufficient to state that the

introduction of two additional notes at pages 204. and 209. rendered the

first impossible: and, secondly, that the omission complained of was

anything but of interest, as it only related to a supposed irregularity

in the delivery of the early numbers, which subsequent inquiry proved to

be groundless, and therefore it was suppressed.

Besides the notes above-mentioned, the letter-press has been revised and

various typographical errors corrected, so as to render the second

edition in many respects superior to the first.

_Town-halls_ (Vol. v., p. 295.).--MR. PARKER is reminded of the very

curious Town-hall at Ashburton, in Devonshire, constructed entirely of

timber.
