RING OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.

SIR,--Many years ago, when there was a mania for making _Gum_ Seals,

originating (with me, at least,) from reading of "Lord Oldborough's"

seal in "Patronage," by Miss Edgeworth, I had a wax impression given me

of Mary Queen of Scots' diamond ring, and its history, which was shewn

with it at a sale in London, I think, in 1817. I send you the account

and seal, with the copy I made in gum. If it may tend to elucidate what

your Correspondent, R. B. ("Current Notes," for February, p. 16) wishes

to know, I shall be glad. If it is useless, you can destroy my letter.
