 128 NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. VII. Fm 15, 1913 But on p. 150 Mr. Eames says :- “The volume coverin the books issued in 1902. published in 1903. was tlie 66th year of issue.” This would make the first year 1837. The cumulated ‘ British Catalogue ’ for 1837 to 1849 is well known, but was there an annual ‘ British Catalogue ’ from _1853 onwards, as Mr. Growol1’s statement would seem to imply ? No such annual appears in Mr. Eames s list. _ On pp. 92-4 Mr. Growoll says :- “In 1860 Mr. Low succeeded in making arran e~ ments with Mr. Hodgson to take over the ‘ Londgzn Catalogue.’ ...... This union of Catalogues thereafter appeared under the title of ‘ The English Catalpgue o Books.’ The volume for 1891 formed the sixty- fifth annual issue of the entire series.” The number sixty-five agrees neither with Mr. Eames’s “ 66th year of issue ” for 1902 nor with Mr. Growoll’s own date of 1845 as the first year of publication. Fur- ther, Mr. Eames’s list (p. 154) appears to give 1863, not 1861, as the date of the earliest annual ‘ English Catalogue.’ Mr. VV. P. Courtney’s invaluable ‘ Register of National Bibliography ’ gives (i. 170) an ‘ English Catalogue Index for the ears 1837-57, as wel as a ‘ British Catalegue Index ’ for the same period ; and this seems to be confirmed by the British Museum printed Catalogue. Are these two essenti- ally distinct, or do they differ merely in the title-page ? Lastly, for how many years prior to 1860 was there an annual ‘ London Cata- logue ’ ? This is made clear neither by Mr. Growoll nor by Mr. Eames. P. J. ANDERSON. University Library, Aberdeen. Wnfrnn. CARY.-Can any reader supply information concerning the life of Walter Cary, author of ‘ Caries Farewell to Phy- sicke ’ (1583), ‘ The Hammer for the Stone ’ (1580), and ‘ The Present State of England ’ (1626) ? His name is also associated with ‘ A Boke of the Propreties of Herbes.’ Editions of ‘ The Hammer for the Stone ’ are referred to (but not described) by Hazlitt as having been printed by Petyt (1543), Myddylton (1546), and R. Kele (without date). 'Has any reader seen these ? H. M. BARLOW. Royal College of Physicians, Pall Mall East, SAV.

DIOGENES LAEBTI'US.*A copy of a Latin translation of his work ‘ De Vita Philo- sophorum,’ in octave, 24 + 679 pp., begins with a refatory not-e ‘ Candido Lector1,’ followed by the epistle of Frater Ambrosius and an index inblack-letter type. There is a large initial P on p. 1, repeated on p._ 165.
