" Stuffing for Veal and Calves Heart.

Thomas Pelham -Holies, Duke of Newcastle 1693-1768, lived at Stanmer, near Lewes, where St. Clouet had the post of chef. Was Verral originally employed in the same house- hold, afterwards becoming proprietor of ''The White Hart" at Lewes? The fame of the Duke of Newcastle's banquets and hospitality survives in the neighbourhood to this day. A. L. HUMPHBEYS.

The first number of the magazine is dated 7 July, 1832. No article on the national statues appears during that year, but in 1833 the following appeared [ut supra}.

At the end of the article of 12 Oct. on James II. at Whitehall there is an allusion to " a noble head of James the First, larger than life, which was originally placed over the entrance to Whitehall, but is now in Windsor Castle,"

and is said to be one of Gibbons' s " best works in bronze." CHARLES MADELEY. Warringtori.

[E. B. also thanked for reply ]

WOODEN NUTCRACKERS (11 S. viii. 89). P. D. M.'s nutcrackers are almost certainly Swiss. Their kind was abundant in Swiss shops in the sixties of the last century, and for all I know are still to be found there, but I have not been in Switzerland lately. They were more pretty than convenient.

JOHN R. MAGRATH. [MR. HARRY HEMS also thanked for reply.]

HUMBUG (11 S. viii. 49, 115). To the replies quoted may be added the following amusing work, which is probably the best known on the subject :

Reach (Angus B.), Natural History of Humbugs. Profusely illustrated. 1847. 16mo.

Papers have also been given on Dickens's studies of humbugs, but I am unable to say if they are in print in The Dickensian or elsewhere. WM. JAGGARD.

Rose Bank, Stratford-on- A\ on.

" ANAPHYLAXIS " (11 S. viii. 85). The term " anaphylaxis " scarcely denotes insomnia, as MR. H. KREBS suggests. The word was coined by Richet in 1902, and means a sensitiveness of the system to receive certain poisons, in contradistinction to "prophylaxis." The one word means a proneness to, the other a protective against, certain morbid influences.
