SIB JOHN GILBERT, J. F. SMITH, AN1> 'THE LONDON JOURNAL.'

(See 11 S. vii. 221, 276, 375; viii. 121, 142; x. 102, 144, 183, 223.)

I SUGGESTED on 19 Oct., 1895 (8 S. viii. 306), I that a catalogue of Gilbert's illustrations books and periodicals was most desirable,. I wrote this during his lifetime, in the hope that if he could not do it himself, he would, out of his generosity and ample means, leave a fund for it to be done. Without his aid no single person could do it within a reasonable time ; it would require a whole staff of workers.

On 10 Feb., 1900 (9 S. v. 108), there is a query asking in what years Gilbert's draw- ings appeared and what novels they illus- trated.* This was replied to, the Editor says, " by very many correspondents," but only in a general way. At p. 238 ESSINGTON said he had for several years advised young friends to purchase the volumes of The London Journal on account of Gilbert's work. On 3 Nov., 1900 (9 S. vi. 49), was a question whether Frederick Gilbert was alive. I

years after but this is a long way from being the " record," which I held by my reply to a query (3 S. i. 210, 15 March, 1852) forty-eight years after its appearance in ' N. & Q.' (see 'John Reynolds, Wilkes's Attorney,' 11 S. i. 285, 9 April, 1910), until COL. PRIDE AUX'S reply (US, viii. 21, 12 July, 1913) to a query (1 S. xii. 148, 5 Aug., 1855) as to the translation of the ' Arabian Nights Entertainments,' fifty-eight years after t he query.
 * I have now answered the query fourteen
