_Hornbooks_ (Vol. ii., p. 167.).--Mr. Timbs will find an account of
hornbooks, with a woodcut of one of the time of Queen Elizabeth, in Mr.
Halliwell's _Notices of Fugitive Tracts_, printed by the Percy Society,
1849. Your readers would confer a favour on Mr. Timbs and myself by the
communication of any additional information.

_Passages from Shakspeare_ (Vol. ii., p. 135.).--

_Ang._ We are all frail.

_Isab._ Else let my brother die,
If not a feodary, but only he
Owe, and succeed thy weakness.

_Ang._ Nay, women are frail too.

_Measure for Measure_, Act. ii. Sc. 4.
