Part 5
BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Journal of Sacred Literature_, New Series, No. X., contains, in addition to its notes, correspondence, &c., no less than twelve papers of varied interest to the peculiar class of readers to whom this periodical expressly addresses itself.--Mr. Bohn has just added to his _Standard Library_ a collection of the _Novels and Tales of Göthe_, comprising his _Elective Affinities; The Sorrows of Werther; German Emigrants; Good Women; and a Nouvelette_: and in his _Classical Library_ he has commenced a revised edition of the Oxford translation of _Tacitus_. The Ninth Part of Smith's _Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography_, which extends from the conclusion of the article _Germania_ to _Hytanis_, concludes the first volume of this admirable addition to Dr. Smith's series of Classical Dictionaries.--_Cyclopædia Bibliographica_, Part XVI., from _Platina_ to _Rivet_. Every additional Part confirms our opinion of the great utility of this indispensable library companion.

REVOCATION OF THE EDICT OF NANTES.--_We cannot better rectify the error, natural error we had almost said, into which_ MR. MACRAY _has fallen, than by printing entire the following communication:_
"British Museum, Jan. 17, 1854.
"Sir,
"An extremely clever and interesting review of Pineton de Chambrun's _History of the Persecutions of the Protestants by the French King in the Principality of Orange_ appeared in the _Journal des Débats_ of the 30th Nov. last. This article is dated from the British Museum (in the reading room of which establishment it may very probably have been written), and signed _William Jones_. As I am the only person in the British Museum bearing the surname of Jones, the article has been attributed to me, in very courteous terms, by a correspondent of the "N. & Q." As I cannot claim the merit of being the writer, I beg to place this correction of MR. MACRAY'S very natural mistake in your hands, to be used in such manner as you may think proper.
"I have the honour to be, Sir, "Your very obedient servant, "J. WINTER JONES."
F. G. S. (Colchester). _We have forwarded to_ DR. DIAMOND _your request, and as soon as "light and leisure" permit, you shall receive some copies of the portrait._
A PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENT, DURHAM.--_We have been so unfortunate as to lose a letter asking questions respecting the enlargement of photographs, &c., for which we apologise, but believe a full answer will be found in the last number of the_ Photographic Journal.
"NOTES AND QUERIES," Vols. i. _to_ viii., _price Four Guineas.--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._

REDUCTION IN PRICE of FRENCH PAPERS prepared for MONS. LE GRAY'S Process.--Examination of the Papers, and comparison with the Prices hitherto charged for the same description, is respectfully solicited, combined with a hope that, as the most careful Selection and Chemical Manipulation has been observed, the endeavour (by reducing their cost) to extend this beautiful and already extensively applied branch of Photographic Art, may secure a portion of public patronage. Canson Frères' Waxed Negative, 6s. per quire; Iodised ditto, 8s. 6d.; Sensitive, available for three weeks, 13s. Size, 17½ by 11½, demy folio.

For Family Reading.
BLENCOWE'S PLAIN SERMONS. First Series, fourth edition; Second Series, third edition; Third Series. Sold separately, at 7s. 6d. per volume. These plain and short discourses have been found to be peculiarly suited for reading aloud in families and to the sick, on account of their simple and affectionate style, and the interesting and practical manner in which religious truths are inculcated. The publisher desires to point out their usefulness in these respects, having reason to believe that their circulation has hitherto been chiefly among the clergy, and that they are still comparatively little known to the laity.
