_Dr. Maginn's Miscellanies_ (Vol. i., p. 470.).--In reply to J.M.B., I beg
to state that the "_Magazine Miscellanies_" of Dr. Maginn were published in
numbers, at 3_d_. each, by Dodsley and Co., Crane Court, Fleet St. I have
nine numbers of it, all that were published, I believe, containing several
tales, serious and humorous Poems, Irish Melodies, Maxims of Mr. O'Doherty,
Miscellaneous Papers, The Tobias Correspondence, a translation of Lucian's
Timon, Shakspere Papers on Sir John Falstaff Jaques, Romeo, Bottom the
Weaver, Lady Macbeth, and Timon; a Translation of the Batrachomyomachia,
and three or four of the Homeric Ballads.

WILLIAM CARPENTER.

Adelphi.


As your correspondent J.M.B. appears to be inquiring into the earliest
contributions of Dr. Maginn to the periodical press in England, you may
inform him that he communicated a great number of papers, &c., to the
_Literary Gazette_ before he left Cork, and wrote articles in _Blackwood's
Magazine_. The former were his first appearances in print in England,
though the Cork journals published many of his productions whilst yet a
mere boy.

TEUTHA.


_Trianon_ (Vol. i., p. 439.).--The meaning of this word is "a pavilion,"
and was applied, doubtless, to the elegant structures to which your
correspondent refers, on account of the light and graceful style of their
architecture. J.K.R.W.
