_Bishop Hooper's Godly Confession, &c._--Being engaged in editing Bishop
Hooper's works, and finding myself impeded by want of the original edition
of his _Godly Confession and Protestation of the Christian Faith_, printed
at London by John Day, 1550, I am induced to seek your assistance, and to
ask whether you can inform me where a copy of the above work may be found?
(THE REV.) CHARLES NEVINSON.
Browne's Hospital, Stamford.
_Extradition, Ignore, Diamagnetism._--In pursuance of my note to you
regarding the definition of words in science and literature which may have
sprung up of late years, will you allow me to quote, as instances in the
latter department, the two words "extradition" and "ignore?"
1. Is the following a correct definition of "extradition," viz., "the
surrender by a state, of a political refugee, at the request of a foreign
power?"
2. Is the etymology of the word made up of "extra" and "ditio" put for
"deditio," a giving up or surrendering?
Does "ignore" mean to "treat as non-existent;" and are there no other words
in the language which express exactly the meaning conveyed by these two?
In science, I would ask, is "diamagnetism" correctly explained by terming
it "the property of any substance whereby it turns itself, when freely
suspended, at right angles to the magnetic meridian."
