That is why I consider I was justified in writing that these topo- graphical artists had neglected St. Katha- rine's. I published in The Antiquary some years ago a letter of W. J. Bankes on his successful efforts to prevent Dean Ireland's vandalism at Westminster Abbey. " The Revd. Mr. Allen " referred to in the letter may be T. Allen, the author of several topographical works, including ' His- tory and Antiquities of London.Westminster,' &c. 4 vols.. 8vo, 1827-8, reissued 1839 ; ' History and Antiquities of the Parish of Lambeth,' &c, 1826. The last - named volume was taken over by J. B. Nichols •when partly printed and published. The Guildhall Library has an extra-illustrated copy of ' The History of London' in 17 vols. Aleck Abrahams. " The Revd. Mr. Allen " referred to by Mr. J. C. Buckler in his letter would no doubt be Thomas Allen, author of 'The History and Antiquities of London. Westminster, Southwark, and Parts Adjacent,' published in 4 vols, by Cowie & Strange in 1827. John T. Page.

Tablets (11 S. vii. 327). — With reference to the suggestion at the above reference, that Sydney Smith's residence at No. 8, Doughty Street, or at No. 56, Green Street, should be commemorated, I write to say that the Council has erected a tablet on the former house. The number was altered between the years 1812 and 1819 to 14. Particulars are given in vol. i. or in part x. of the series ' Houses of Historical Interest,' published by the Council. His house in Green Street has been demolished, and, owing to an altera- tion in the numbering of the street, the house on the site is numbered 59. Laurence Gomme, Clerk of the Council.

Author op Quotation Wanted (11 S. vii. 329).—Your inquirer Ritualist at the above reference will find the lines he quotes upon p. 29 of ' The Fijiad; or, English Night's Entertainments.' It is part of ' The Pilgrims at Clapham Junction,' which is the Fourth Night's Entertainment. ' The Fijiad' was one of the Beeton " Christmas Annuals." If Ritualist is unable to find a copy, I shall be pleased to lend him mine. H. J. Godbold. 6, Loris Road, Hammersmith. W. Early English Printed Books (11 S. vii. 327).—If Mr. Peddie turns to the Preface of the following, I think he will find the information needed :— Collett (V. R.), "An Index of English Books printed before the year MIT. now in the Library of Gonville and Cams College, Cambridge, 1850." 8vo. Collett states that this list is formed after the model of the ' Index of English Books printed before 1500 in the Lambeth Library,' which was published in 1845 by S. R. Maitland. As Collett's work was pri- vately printed, and is therefore rarely met with, my own example (from the collection of Philip Bliss) is available on loan if desired. We Jaggard. Rose Bank, Stratford-on-Avon. "Vox populi vox musje" (11 S. vi. 390). —Carlyle, describing the capture of the Bastille, made the statement referred to concerning the Ritter Gluck. Biographers of the great composer, however, quote him as answering some criticisms of Corancez thus :— "Suppose that some province is in famine.
