A.H. (Stoke Newington). “Limbeck” is used by Shakspeare for "Alembic;"_ and in the passage in Macbeth_,—
“That memory, the warder of the

Shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason
A limbeck only.”

In the advertisement of Mr. Appleyard’s Greek Church, in our last Number, p. 471, for “Darling, Great Cullen Street,” read “Darling, Great Queen Street.”
