literary men should set their faces very decidedly against all and every
the slightest alteration in the genuine description of a book? 4. Would
it not be desirable that every such alteration should forthwith be
communicate to your paper?

The English title-page omits the important fact, that the _Catalogue_
begins at 1700, and describes it as containing _all_ editions, &c., up
to 1846.

MINOR QUERIES.

_Portrait of Sir P. Sidney, by Paul Veronese._--In the letters of Sir P.
Sidney which I found at Hamburg, and which were published by Pickering,
1845, it is stated that a portrait of Sidney was painted by Paul
Veronese, at Venice, for Herbert Languet. It would be very interesting
to discover the existence of this picture.

Languet had it with him at Prague, _framed_, as he asserts, and hung up
in his room, in the year 1575. He remarks upon it, in one place, that it
represented Sidney as too young (he was nineteen when it was taken); in
another place he says that it has given him too sad an expression. I
should add, that on Languet's death, his property passed into the hands
of his friend Du Plessis.
