W.—­We are happy to be enabled to inform our Correspondent that the Index to the Quarterly Review, Vols.  LX. to LXXX. is to be published in February.

W.H.—­The transcript kindly forwarded appears to be part of a copy of one of the Anonymous MS. Journals used by Sir Simonds D’Ewes in the compilation of his Journals of all the Parliaments of Elizabeth.  Lond.  Folio. 1682. It is all substantially in D’Ewes, and generally speaking it is there verbatim.

Many Notes, Queries, and Answers to Queries, which are in type, are unavoidably postponed until our next Number.

A neat Case for holding the Numbers of “NOTES AND QUERIES” is now ready, price 1s. 6d., and may be had by Order, of all Booksellers and Newsmen.
