W. E. HARLAND-OXLEY. We hear with regret of the death on Thursday, the 2nd inst., of one of our keenest and most constant correspondents, Mr. W. E. Harland-Oxley. On 3 April last he completed an article headed ' Westminster Changes in 1908 : Thirteenth Year,' with a note that the present year would see more changes. We shall not, alas ! have his diligent pen to record them. He represented the type of scholar which it is the privilege of ' N. & Q.' to preserve in this hurrying and somewhat selfish age, being ever ready to make others master of his store of know- ledge and of his collections on his favourite subject.

MUNICH now rivals Leipsic in its attractions for the book-hunter. The father of this trade in MSS. and early printed books is Herr Ludwig Rosenthal of the Hildegardstrasse, whom we congratulate on reaching this week his fiftieth anniversary in business. Herr Rosenthal is able to claim that the host of second-hand booksellers in the city have all passed through his offices and profited by his expert knowledge of books. We have from time to time commended his cata- logues to the notice of our readers.

We must call special attention to the following notices :
