W.H.B. _will find, on referring to Chappell's _National English Airs_, that
the words of _RULE BRITANNIA_ were written by Thomson (in the _Masque of
Alfred_), and the music composed by Dr. Arne._
TAPETIA.--_Miss Linwood's _Salvator Mundi, after Carlo Dolce_, is, we
believe, in one of her Majesty's private apartments at Windsor Castle. We
do not insert _TAPETIA'S_ letter, because we by no means agree with the
writer in his views of the property of the Crown. The Queen behaved most
kindly and liberally on the occasion of the late _Exhibition of Medi�val
Art_: but that is a very different thing from calling for a transfer of the
Holbein or Da Vinci drawings to some public museum._
R.W.E. _will find the custom of "_Going a Gooding_," which appears to
prevail on St. Thomas's Day in many parts of the country, described in
Brand's _Popular Antiquities_ (ed. Ellis)._
S.G. (C.C.C.C.) _is thanked for his friendly Note. Had we been aware of the
facts with which he has now furnished us, of course, the communication to
which he refers would not have been inserted in its present shape._
VOLUME THE SECOND OF NOTES AND QUERIES.--_We this day issue the INDEX to
our Second Volume. Copies of which Volume, strongly bound in cloth, may now
be had price_ 9s. 6d.
_We hope next week, by the publication of a Double Number, under our new
arrangement, to clear off a large accumulation of correspondence._
NOTES AND QUERIES _may be procured, by order, of all Booksellers and
newsvenders. It is published at noon on Friday, so that our country
Subscribers ought not to experience any difficulty in procuring it
regularly. Many of the country Booksellers, &c., are probably, not yet
aware of this arrangement, which will enable them to receive _NOTES AND
QUERIES_ in their Saturday parcels._
_All communications for the Editor of _NOTES AND QUERIES_ should be
addressed to the care of_ MR. BELL, No. 186. Fleet Street.
