_English Sapphics_ (Vol. iii., p. 494.).--A beautiful specimen of this
measure, far superior in rhythm to the attempt of Dr. Watts, appeared in
the _Youth's Magazine_ twenty-five years ago. It consisted of the Psalm
"By the Waters of Babylon." I remember the last verse only.
"Dumb be my tuneful eloquence, if ever
Strange echoes answer to a song of Zion;
Blasted this right hand, if I should forget thee,
Land of my fathers."

_Mints at Norwich--Joseph Nobbs_ (Vol. iii., p. 447.).--I beg to inform
Cowgill that the operation of the Mint of the Great Recoinage of 1696-7
was performed in a room at St. Andrew's Hall, in this city; but the
amount there coined, or at any of the other places mentioned, I am not
able to inform him. The total amount said to be recoined was
6,882,908_l._ 19_s._ 7_d._
