J.D.A. is informed that we purpose so arranging “NOTES AND QUERIES” as to form two volumes in the course of the year; each volume to be accompanied by a VERY COPIOUS INDEX.

EMDEE will see that we have at once so far availed ourselves of his suggestion as to make REPLIES a distinct department of our paper.  The other change he suggests requires consideration; which it shall certainly have.

We are unavoidably compelled to postpone until our next Number, Mr. Hickson’s further communication on Marlowe and the Old Taming of a Shrew.

T.S.N. will find much curious information on the subject of his inquiry in some of the later volumes of The Gentleman’s Magazine; and we will take an early opportunity of furnishing him with information upon the point.

We are compelled, by want of space, to omit our usual acknowledgment of COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED.

We are again compelled to omit many Notes, Queries, and Answers to Queries which are in type, as well as Answers to Correspondents.

PLAIN SERMONS, addressed to a Country Congregation.  By the late REV.  EDWARD BLENCOWE, Curate of Teversal, and formerly Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford.

“Their style is simple—­the sentences are not artfully constructed—­and there is an utter absence of all attempts at rhetoric.  The language is plain Saxon language, from which ‘the men on the wall’ can easily gather what it most concerns them to know....  In the statements of Christian doctrine, the reality of Mr. Blencowe’s mind is very striking.  There is a strength, and a warmth, and a life, in his mention of the great truths of the Gospel, which show that he spoke from the heart, and that, like the apostle of old, he could say, ’I believe, and therefore have I spoken.’”—­Theologian.
