BY SYLVANUS URBAN, GENT.

MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.

After having given our friends some trouble in the matter, we regret to find that we have not room for a report that we have in type of the recent conjoint meeting of various archæological societies at Peterborough, at which several interesting papers were read, particularly some in relation to Peterborough Cathedral and Croyland Abbey. It was further our intention to have reported the proceedings of a Quarterly Meeting of the Suffolk Institute of Archæology, and also those of the tour made by the Norfolk and Norwich Society to the Marshland churches of that county. These must now be deferred. To the meetings of the Sussex and Surrey Societies we have duly attended in our present Number.

MR. URBAN, Mr. Hayman (p. 9) states that dimidiation is termed by the French heralds acolée. I think he has made a mistake. Accolé is usually explained as denoting two shields placed side by side (vide De Magny, Science des Armoiries, tome 1er, p. 7; Glossary of Heraldry, p. 2). I do not find in the French works on heraldry any term to express dimidiation.

Cambridge.

THOMPSON Cooper. In the memoir of the late Lord Viscount Strangford, at p. 91, an important perversion of the writer's meaning was made by the corrector of the press. It was Mr. Canning, and not Lord Strangford, to whose appointment as Ambassador to Lisbon Lord Durham referred : Lord Strangford was never Ambassador to Lisbon.

The late Sir George Larpent (noticed in our Obituary, Nov. p. 524) had edited "The Private Journal of [his brother] F. S. Larpent, esq. Judge Advocate-general of the British Forces in the Peninsula; attached to the Head-Quarters of Lord Wellington during the Peninsular War, from 1812 to its close. 1853." 3 vols. 8vo. And more recently, "Turkey; its history and progress, from the Journals and Correspondence of Sir James Porter, fifteen years Ambassador at Constantinople; continued to the present time, with a memoir of Sir James Porter, by his grandson, Sir George Larpent, Bart. 1854," 2 vols. 8vo.

In reference to the contingent bequest made by Sir Humphry Davy to the Royal

Society, to which we alluded in our Obituary of Lady Davy last month, we are kindly informed by Mr. WELD that the conditions are as follows:-Sir Humphry, by his will, left his plate to Lady Davy, to revert to his brother, Dr. Davy, in case of his surviving her, and if not to any child of his who may be capable of using it; but if he be not in a situation to enjoy it, then he adds, "I wish it to be melted and given to the Royal Society, to found a Medal, to be given annually, for the most important discovery in chemistry anywhere made in Europe or AngloAmerica." But, as Dr. Davy is now living, and as he has several children capable of using the plate, Sir Humphry's ultimate destination of this property does not take effect.

Those of our readers who have taken an interest in the articles upon the Septuagint which have recently appeared in our pages, will rejoice to be informed that we are requested to announce the preparation of an exact REPRINT, for the first time separately, of the earliest, but almost unknown Text of the LXX. Version, printed in that rare and noble monument at once of genius and of typographic art, the Complutensian Polyglot. This important undertaking relies for its early issue mainly on subscription. The Editor by severe compression purposes to present the student, together with the Complutensian text, a synopsis also of the other three standard texts of the other three translators, and a record of the only UNCIAL MSS. in the Brit. Mus., two of the three oldest known; that venerable wreck the COTTON. MS. of Genesis, and the yet unmatched Codex ALEXANDRINUS, thus offering more than has ever, in any tongue, been united in one volume. Though this work is preparing for immediate publication, it cannot without loss go to press until 1000 copies are secured, nor then at less than thirly shillings. But if these will each get one more, making thus 2000, while yet printing, all will have it at a guinea. This is in the power of the public to secure, then, if so minded; still the Editor's requital can arise only on the sale of the third thousand! Those who desire to promote this important work are invited to send their names to the publishers, 445, West Strand,
