A. observes, "The forebodings in my former letter, p. 98, appear to have been but too well founded, as within a few days of its date, the North side of the late incomparable Cloisters of Magdalen disappeared. The celerity with which the work of demolition proceeded is almost incredible. A few hours served to destroy that which the current of centuries had scarcely impaired. The University is thus denuded of one of its best ornaments. In their present dilapidated state the cloisters no longer constitute that unique specimen of Gothic architecture which excited the envy of foreign Antiquaries; for many continental foundations can boast of their three-sided cloisters."

G. S. L. P. remarks, "It may not be a gratification to G. E. S. p. 111, to learn, that the drawing he has sent to you is of a Nuremberg jetton or counter, of trivial value; these coins (if they may be so called) are common, and very apt to embarrass a young collector. At Nuremberg, mills were constructed for making these counters for the purpose of computation; some of which having religious legends or emblems, were then called Abbey Pieces. The obverse in this instance represents a person using the abacus and counters; the reverse is not worth a moment's consideration to any person observing how whimsical and unaccountable they frequently are upon these coins. The alphabet perhaps may be accidental, or designed as a kind of hornbook for children. I have in my possession a jetton, evidently from the same die with that represented in p. 111; and two nearly similar types may be found in plate 4 of Snelling's work on the Origin, Nature, and Use of Jettons or Counters, fig. 13 and 14, the latter with the date 1553. At page 10 he says, "On No. 13 and 14, there is a person with a table before him, having many counters on it; and on one side a sort of abacus or counting board: the last has no inscription; and the first the maker's name. But there is one sort which has Rechen Meister,' or 'Cyphering Master,' round it. We think the alphabet on the reverse of No. 14, might be intended also as a hornbook for children; it is sometimes contained in a square."

Another Correspondent, W. has in his cabinet exactly the same jetton as in p. 111, and has obliged us with information to the same purpose as G. S. L. P.-W. remarks, that the extract from Snelling supports G. E. S.'s opinion that the figure of the man is intended for a schoolmaster; a full and satisfactory account of the jetton may be seen in the above author."

Two other Correspondents, P. S. and Mr. NORWOOD, have two tokens nearly similar to that engraved in p. 111, with the dates

1551 and 1553, under the alphabet, in both which is inserted the letter W.

The curiosity P. S. speaks of is the seal of a Bull of Pope Nicholas IV. (NICOLAUS PP. III.) A nearly similar one of Pope Alexander III. is engraved in "The History of Leicestershire," vol. I. part ii. pl. xvii. They are not uncommon.

The coins Mr. NORWOOD describes are farthing tokens of James I. and Charles I, See Ruding's Coinage, vol. III. p. 477, and plate, Suppl. Part ii. pl. iii. fig. 14.

We suspect the MS volume G. M. describes, will prove to be copied from "The Complete Ambassador," which was published by Sir Dudley Digges, 1655; "comprised in Letters of Negotiation of Sir F. Walsingham, with the answers of Lord Burleigh, Earl of Leicester, Sir T. Smith, and others."

We doubt not the good intentions of S. in sending his long letter on the profligacy of the Public Press; but we must be excused printing it; for, to use his own words, "persons of the least delicacy or decency turn with disgust from the bare mention of such revolting subjects."

We are obliged to decline the communications of LOLLIUS on the terms he offers. The letter he sent will of course not be printed.

We have received two or three communications in answer to former letters on the sub

ject of the Bastardy Laws; but our scanty limits compel us to entreat our Correspondents to drop the controversy.

W. B. B. will find an account of Reculver Church in our last vol. part ii. p. 319, which supersedes his communication.

"A Constant Reader" is informed, that the respectable family after which he inquires, are now living at their seat near Ipswich.

Mr. W. SALMON requests us "to correct an error in our Obituary for July, p. 92, relative to the presentation of the living of Rodney Stoke in 1794 to the late Rev. T. A. Salmon, by the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The case was otherwise;―The living is in the gift of the Bishop, but the late Bishop Moss suffered the presentation to lapse to the Crown, and the Rev. T. A. Salmon was presented to it by the Lord Chancellor, through the interest of his late friend, Clement Tudway, esq. M. P. for Wells."

2. says, "the Globe and Cross on the summit of St. Paul's Cathedral are mentioned in p. 131; those objects have been thought to allude to the 14th verse of the 6th chapter of that Apostle's Epistle to the Galatians, but the propriety thereof is doubted."

"A Constant Reader's" anecdote of Mr. Pope is a very old joke.
