Notices to Correspondents.
_We this week have the pleasure of presenting our readers with an extra
Eight Pages, rendered necessary by our increasing correspondence. If each
one of our readers could procure us one additional subscriber, it would
enable us to make this enlargement permanent, instead of occasional._
E. N. W. _A ring which had belonged to Mary Queen of Scots, very similar to
that which_ E. N. W. _possesses, was exhibited some years since. A friend,
on whose judgment we place great reliance, is of the opinion that the
cutting on_ E. N. W.'s _ring is modern. Could not_ E. N. W. _exhibit it at
the Society of Antiquaries? Mr. Akerman, the resident Secretary would take
charge of it for that purpose._
LAMMER BEADS. _Justice to_ MR. BLOWEN _requires that we should explain that
his article in_ No. 68. _was accidentally inserted after he had expressed
his wish to withdraw it, in consequence of_ MR. WAY'S _most satisfactory
paper in_ No. 67.
E. M. "God tempers the wind," &c. _Much curious illustration of this
proverb, of which the French version occurs in Gruter's_ Florilegium,
_printed in 1611, will be found in_ "NOTES AND QUERIES," Vol. I., pp. 211.
236. 325. 357. 418.
E. M. "Vox Populi Vox Dei" _were the words chosen by Archbishop Mepham for
his Sermon, when Edw. III. was called to the throne. See_ "NOTES AND
QUERIES," Vol. I., pp. 370. 419. 492. _for further illustrations_. {255}
S. WMSN. _The proposed short and true account of Zacharie Boyd would be
acceptable._
H. N. E. _Lord Rochester wrote a poem of seventeen stanzas upon_ NOTHING.
_The Latin poem on the same subject, to which_ H. N. E. _refers, is
probably that by Passerat, inserted by Dr. Johnson in his_ Life of
Rochester.
