_The Topography of Foreign Printing Presses._--I have often been at a

loss to discover the locality of names which designate the places where

books have been printed at Foreign presses; and "when found" to "make a

note of it." I was therefore pleased to find in No. 16. p. 251., by the

reply of "R.G." to Mr. Jebb, that "_Cosmopolis_ was certainly

Amsterdam," and that "Coloniæ" signifies "Amstelædami." And I will take

the liberty of suggesting that it would be an acceptable service

rendered to young students, if your learned correspondents would

occasionally communicate in the pages of your work, the modern names,

&c. of such places as are not easily gathered from the books themselves.
