PUTTICK AND SIMPSON beg to announce that their Season for Sales of Literary Property will commence on Wednesday next, October 12. In addressing Executors and others entrusted with the disposal of Libraries, and collections (however limited or extensive) of Manuscripts, Autographs, Prints, Pictures, Music, Musical Instruments, Objects of Art and Vertu, and Works connected with Literature, and the Arts generally, would suggest a sale by Auction as the readiest and surest method of obtaining their full value; and they flatter themselves that the central situation of their premises (near St. James's Church), their extensive connexion of more than half a century's standing, and the careful circulation of their Catalogues in all parts of the country, and occasionally throughout Europe and America, are advantages that will not be unappreciated. Messrs. P. & S. will also receive small parcels of Books or other Literary Property, and insert them in occasional sales with property of a kindred description, thus giving the same advantages to the possessor of a few Lots as to the owner of a large Collection.

*** Libraries Catalogued, Arranged, and Valued for the Probate or Legacy Duty, or for Public or Private Sale.

Foul. Surely this ought to be full. A foul bumbard might be empty. "Foulness" and "shedding his liquor" are not necessarily contingent; but fulness and overflowing are. A full vessel, shaken, cannot choose "but shed his liquor."

Jas. Hodges, a Scotch gentleman, who supported the Independency in a work entitled War betwixt the Two Kingdoms considered, for which, says Attwood, "he had 4800 Scots Punds given him for nothing but begging the question, and bullying England with the terror of her arms."

"An Historical Essay, showing that the Crown of Scotland is Independent; wherein the gross Errors of a late book, entitled 'The Superiority and Direct Dominion,' &c., and some other books for that purpose, are exposed by Jas. Anderson, A.M., Writer to His Majesty's Signet," Edin. 1705. For this work Anderson received the thanks of the Scottish parliament, as well as some pecuniary reward. (Chalmers' Life of Ruddiman.) The authors of these books having made out a case which was adopted as the national one, it is nowise surprising that they should hand over Drake and Attwood to the hangman for attempting to demolish it.

The specimens forwarded by Mr. Pumphrey are most satisfactory.—Ed.
