_The Abbé Strickland._--In the third volume of the _Castlereagh
Correspondence_, an Abbé Strickland figures as a negotiator between the
English Catholics and the court of Rome. His name is also mentioned
unfavourably in the "_Quarterly_" review of that work. Will some of your
readers direct me where further information can be had of him, and his
ultimate destination?

_Aerostation, Works on._--Will you have the goodness to inquire for me
among your readers and contributors, for the _titles of any works
on_--or references to good _articles in encyclopaedias or dictionaries_
on--or for remarkable isolated passages relating to--_Aerostation_, or
the arts of, or attempts at, flying, either by means of mechanical
wings, &c., or by the aid of balloons.

_Pilgrims' Road to Canterbury._--Can any of the readers of "Notes and
Queries" point out the route which was pursued by Chaucer and his
fellow-travellers on the pilgrimage which his genius has immortalised?
Is the route of the old pilgrims' road laid down upon any early maps?
(it is not, I believe, marked on the Ordnance Survey;) and would it be
possible to traverse it at the present time? Any hints upon these
points, and any references to objects of interest on the line of road
inquired after, will be thankfully received by

Philo-Chaucer.
