testimony is supplied in the Hastings corre- spondence by Hastings's care for Buchanan's daughter, who was, or course, his own step- daughter. The girl was sent nome for educa- tion, and apparently placed in the charge of Mrs. Forde, wife of one of the Supervisors appointed with Vansittart. This laay writes in 1773 that Miss Buchanan was apprenticed, but ran away from her place three months before her time was up. Her guardian then took her home, and engaged dancing-masters for her, to qualify her for returning to India ; but she tired quickly of gentility, and at her own wish was sent to the care of her grand- mother and aunt at Arklow, where she crowned her misdeeds by running off with a corporal. After this there is a long blank in her history ; but in 1797-8 she reappears in the correspondence, a shameless and per- sistent beggar, as Elizabeth Finley or Findley. Hastings made her an allowance of 20Z. a year through his brother-in-law Woodman, and she makes perpetual efforts to anticipate it or get it increased.

Having cleared up this matter as fully as is at present in my power, may I venture to repeat my request for fresh information to any reader who can throw light on the marriage of Capt. (or Lieut.) John Buchanan, of Craigieven, and thus establish the identity of the first Mrs. Hastings ?

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PUBLISHING AND BOOK- SELLING (10 th S. i. 81, 142, 184, 242, 304, 342). I venture to send some notes of omissions in the above which readily occur to mind, others to follow when you have space. All, I think, will form useful additions to a great store of material awaiting the deft hand of an Edmund Gosse to weave it into a history of a very complex trade.

Publishing and bookselling alone confine one to a somewhat narrow, if not mercenary, outlook upon a business of great antiquity and vast ramifications, although I admit the mere production and vending of books cannot fail to be of interest to many inside and out- side the trade.

The subject seems shorn of half its romance if you purposely exclude authorship, print- ing, actions at law, formation of libraries, adventures of rare books and manuscripts, and all the other inextricable bypaths of literature. Why not make the scheme broad and comprehensive]
