_Dictionary of Hackneyed Quotations._--I beg to inform your

correspondent who suggested such a publication as a _Dictionary of

Hackneyed Quotations_, that I commenced such a work some time ago, and

hope before long to have it ready for the press.

Every common quotation or familiar proverb from the poets will be ranged

with the _context_ under its respective author, while an alphabetical

index will facilitate reference to any particular passage. I doubt not

the readers of your valuable periodical will assist me whenever I am at

fault as to the authorship of any line or "household word;" and I should

feel at the present time much obliged if any one could tell me where

"Though lost to sight, to memory dear," may be found?
