    facsimiles of rarities recently discovered in this hitherto uninvestigated district . Nature of June 7 containing the Index to

    vol . xxxvii ., will form , a-double number . We have received from Messrs . Mason &

    Payne a sixpenny map of Central London , extending from Charing Cross to the Tower , and from Clerkenwell Green to the Elephant

    and Castle . The maps issued by this firm are noted for their accuracy , clearness , and cheapness .

    Some questions having arisen as to the locality of Theodore Hook ' s tomb , Mr . C . A .

    Ward has written the following to the editor of the City Press : —^ Sir , —Mr . J . Thoma 3 , of 121 Adelaide Road , writes to you to ask how

    Mr . Lowell finds Hook's tombstone to be in Fulham churchyard , seeing that he " some years since" found it in JEaling churchyard .

    All that can be replied to this is that Mr . Lowell found it at Fulham , just as you , I , and

    the world in general think we have found St . Paul's Cathedral in St . Paul ' s Churchyard , because it is there . If Mr . Thomas found

    Mr . Hooks tombstone in Ealing churchyard it must be that it had taken a walk there just as Mr . Thomas himself had . But fortunately

    it remembered what it was doing and where to return to . It is back again in Fulham churchyard now on the south side of the church

    where it has commonly been to be met with , , since August 24 , 1841 , when Theodore Edward Hook was buried i beneat - " ^ h itin the fifty-third pppk » Pfe

    of his - ~~ - ¦ - * age — - ¦ - ¦ . ™ - —'"~ The ^^^ ™~ ¦ ~~ gates ~^ ^— — ™~ of ~ ¦ " *^ the , ^ m ^ ppp ^ p ~ ppppi ch ^ pp" ^^ ppppi urchyard ' ^ pp' ppppa ^ ppfe ppp . ^ pp" v ^ p » pppa pprp . at > ' ^ pp' ^ p * Fulham used to be kept locked on week-days ,

    so that Mr . Thomas must have met it at Ealing on a Sunday ; otherwise what he relates would be still more remarkableas the stone .

    must have jumped over the palings , before it could have made a fair start for Ealing . As it occurred some years sinceI dare aay Mr .

    Thohias may have forgotten some , of the minor circumstances and details attending itso that

    he may be unable to identify now the , exact day — --p » ^ W of — the ^^ week ^^ ^^ p" i on ^^^ ^ ^ which » ^ ^~— - ^ ^_ - - ^ ¦¦ ¦ he ppp-- ^ - ^ ¦¦¦ saw vp ¦ * w m « it p * w . ^ But * . r ^ p * PW ^ f if «^« Vk he pppb 4 pjpI ^^ i *
