To correspondents inquiring as to the mode of procuring “NOTES AND QUERIES,” we have once more to explain, that every bookseller and newsman will supply it regularly, if ordered; and that gentlemen residing in the country, who may find a difficulty in getting it through any bookseller in their neighbourhood, may be supplied regularly with the stamped edition, by giving their orders direct to the publisher, MR. GEORGE BELL, 186 Fleet Street, accompanied by a Post-Office order for a quarter, 4s. 4d.; a half year, 8s. 8d.; or one year, 17s. 4d.

Errata.  P. 242. col. 2. l. 11., for “coheir” read “cognate;” and line 16, for “Argidius” “AEgidius;” and p. 243, col 1. l. 35. read “anecdote of Dionysius related by Cicero and by Plutarch, in his Laconic Apophthegms, which Stobaeus evidently followed.”
