Notices to Correspondents.
_Owing to the length of_ PROFESSOR DE MORGAN'S _very interesting article and the number of our Advertisements, we have enlarged our present Number to Thirty-two pages._
BOOKS WANTED. _So many of our Correspondents seem disposed to avail themselves of our plan of placing the booksellers in direct communication with them, that we find ourselves compelled to limit each list of books to two insertions. We would also express a hope that those gentlemen who may at once succeed in obtaining any desired volumes will be good enough to notify the same to us, in order that such books may not unnecessarily appear in such list even a second time._
_The letters for_ A. Z., MR. DEMAYNE, MR. F. CROSSLEY, &c., _have been duly forwarded._
X. Y. Z. _We have no doubt the early numbers of_ The Press _may be procured on application to the publisher of that paper._
F. M. _The passage in_ King John,
"My face so thin That in my ear I dare not stick a rose, Lest men should say, See where threefarthings goes!"
_contains an allusion to the_ very thin _silver threefarthing pieces, coined by Elizabeth, which bore a rose. In Boswell's Shakspeare_ (ed. 1821), vol. XV. p. 209., _will be found nearly two pages of illustrative notes._
A CONSTANT READER _is informed that the line_
"Men are but children of a larger growth"
_is from Dryden's_ All for Love.
J. L. (Islington). DR. DIAMOND _informs us that he procured his naphtha from Messrs. Simpson and Maule, of Kennington, but he would not advise the use of varnish so made. It is apt to dry up in round spots, and which sometimes print from the negative. He also adds, that one ounce of the collodio-amber varnish as recommended by him will, with care, from its great fluidity and ready-flowing qualities, effectually varnish upwards of thirty glass negatives of the quarter plate size: thus the real expense is very inconsiderable._
F. S. A. _Photography is perfectly applicable to the copying of MSS. or printed leaves, either smaller, of the same size, or larger than the original, the only requisite beyond a good lens being a camera of sufficient length for a long focus. A plain surface exposed in front of a lens requires a range behind it of the same distance to produce an equal size copy; a magnified image being produced by a nearer approach to the lens, and a smaller the farther the object is distant. Prints are often copied by mere contact, without the use of any lens whatever. As a brother F. S. A.,_ DR. DIAMOND _will be happy to give you some personal instructions as to your requirements._
"NOTES AND QUERIES," Vols. i. _to_ vii., _price Three Guineas and a Half.--Copies are being made up and may be had by order._
"NOTES AND QUERIES" _is published at noon on Friday, so that the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday._
