 252 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. vm. MARCH 20, 1021. TERCENTENARY HANDLIST OF NEWSPAPERS. (12 S. viii. 38, 91, 173; see vii. 480.) I AM now able further to supplement and annotate Mr. J. G. Muddiman's 'Handlist' by comparison with the ' Henry Se.ll ' News- paper Collection. This valuable collection, which comprises nearly a thousand papers, ranging from newsbooks of 1626 to mid- nineteenth-century journals of varying interest, was made by the late Mr. Henry Sell, and is probably one of the most repre- sentative collections now in private hands. I am greatly indebted to the courtesy of the present owners, Messrs. Sells, Ltd., of Fleet Street, for the opportunity of consulting it. It will be seen that it makes substantial additions to the * Handlist,' and that its contents also ante -date or post-date many papers already included. The numbering quoted see, especially, Adams's Weekly Courant and The British Oracle forms, when compared with the numbering given in the 'Handlist,' an in- teresting object-lesson as to the absolute unreliability of early eighteenth - century numbering, particularly that of the pro- vincial press, and shows how unsound is the apparently easy method of arriving at a presumable first number by "counting back" from an existing one.
