ADVICE TO THE EDITOR, AND HINTS TO HIS CONTRIBUTORS.
My signature . having been adopted by another correspondent, I have been obliged to discontinue it.
My other signature ., which I have used since your commencement, is in your last number applied to the contribution of another gentleman, although the same number contains two articles of mine with that signature.
As this is palpably inconvenient, pray accept the following
ADVICE TO THE EDITOR
A contributor sending a Note or a Query, Considers what signature's better; And lest his full name too oft should prove weary, He sometimes subscribes with a letter.
This letter in English or Greek thus selected, As his personal mark he engages; From piracy, therefore, it should be protected, Throughout all the rest of your pages.
I submit in such cases no writer would grumble, But give you his hearty permission, When two correspondents on one mark should stumble, To make to the last an addition.
MINOR NOTES.

Queries.
THE INQUISITION--THE BOHEMIAN PERSECUTION.
"The History of the Inquisition and its Origin, by James Marsollier, 1693." 12mo.?
I have often searched for a copy of this work in English, but have never found it. Was it ever translated into English?
I should like to know something of the authorship of these volumes, and of the circumstances under which they were published.
"The Slaughter-House, or a brief description of the Spanish Inquisition, &c., gathered together by the pains and study of James Salgado." N.D.
The biographical dictionaries within my reach give no account of Salgado. Who was he?
I have an English translation of this small work, published in 1650. Can any of your readers inform me who were the authors?

Rotherfield.
"A man was hung for a murder in Southwark , notwithstanding the king's pardon had been obtained for him, and he actually had it in his pocket at the time."
Will some kind friend oblige me with further information of this case, or tell me where I may obtain it?
GILBERT.
"The swarthy daughters of Cadmus may hang their trophies on high, for when all the pride of the chisel and the pomp of heraldry yield to the silent touches of time, a single line, a half worn-out inscription, remain faithful to their trust."
In what composition of Burke's is it to be found?
"I have perused this book, and finding nothing in it but what may tend to the increase of private devotion and piety, I recommend it to my Lord the Bishop of London for his licence to have it printed."
