Literature, Science, and the Arts have sustained a heavy loss in the death
of that accomplished patron of them--that most amiable nobleman the
Marquess of Northampton. His noble simplicity and single-mindedness of
character, and his unaffected kindliness of manner, endeared him to all who
had the good fortune to be honoured with his acquaintance, and by all of
whom his death will be long and most deeply regretted.
Mr. Sandys, F.S.A., of Canterbury, has issued a Prospectus for the
immediate publication, by Subscription, of the _Consuetudines Kanci�: a
History of Gavelkind and other remarkable Customs in the County of Kent_.
Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will sell on Monday next, and four following
days, a very select and valuable Library, the property of a gentleman
deceased, including among other choice lots, two early MSS. of the _Divina
Comedia_, and an extensive, rare, and interesting series of early editions
of Dante. {78}
_Books Received._--_Clark's Introduction to Heraldry_ (London, Washbourne),
fourteenth edition, which contains a chapter and plates, which are entirely
new, on Heraldry in conjunction with Architecture;--_Hints and Queries
intended to promote the Preservation of Antiquities and the Collection and
Arrangement of Information on the Subject of Local History and
Tradition_--a most useful little tract, highly creditable to the _Kilkenny
Arch�ological Society_, by whose order it has been printed for
circulation;--_The Peril of the Papal Aggression; or, the Case as it stands
between the Queen and the Pope, by Anglicanus_. London, Bosworth.
_Catalogues Received._--Charles Skeet's (21. King William Street, Charing
Cross) Catalogue No. 1. for 1851, of a Miscellaneous Collection of Books,

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.
HANAP. Q.B., _who asks the meaning of this old name given to certain cups
and drinking vessels, is referred to our First Vol. pp. 477-8, our Second
Vol. p. 150., and the_ Arch�ological Journal, Vol. ii., p. 263.
MR. KENNETH MACKENZIE, MR. M.A. LOWER. MR. GEORGE STEPHENS (_of_
Stockholm), _and several anonymous Correspondents, who have written to us
suggesting certain alterations either in our size, price, mode of
publication, or other arrangements, are assured that fully appreciating the
kind motives which have prompted their communications, their respective
suggestions will receive our best attention; and that if we do not adopt
them, it will be for reasons the force of which our Correspondents would,
we have no doubt, if they could be made fully acquainted with them, be the
very first to admit._
DELTA, _who writes to us respecting the origin of the thought embodied in
Cambell's line_--
Like angels' visits, few and far between,"
_is referred to our First Vol. p. 102, and our Second Vol. p. 286., for two
