We this week conclude our Third Volume, and regret that want of space has compelled us to omit from the present Number the Rev. Dr. Todd's Letter on the Edition of Ussher's Works; C. on "The Lord Mayor of London not a Privy Councillor ;" "and many other communications of great interest: and we have to trust to the kindness of our Correspondents for omitting our usual acknowledgment of REPLIES Received. THE INDEX TO VOLUME THE THIRD is ready for Press. It will be issued on Saturday the 12th, if not ready by next Saturday. The commencement of a New Volume on Saturday next affords a favourable opportunity to gentlemen resident in the country to commence the work.

Fleet Street. CIRCULATION OF OUR PROSPECTUSES BY CORRESPONDENTS. The suggestion of T. E. H., that by way of hastening the period when we shall be justified in permanently enlarging our Paper to 24 pages, we should forward copies of our Prospectus to correspondents who would kindly enclose them to such friends as they think likely, from their love of literature, to become subscribers to "NOTES AND QUERIES," has already been acted upon by several friendly correspondents, to whom we are greatly indebted. We shall be most happy to forward Prospectuses for this purpose to any other of our friends able and willing thus to assist towards increasing our circulation. VOLS. I. and II., each with very copious Index, may still be had, price 93. 6d, each. 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.
