_Apocrypha._--What editions of the Bible _containing the Apocrypha_ are
now on sale at the ordinary way?


_J.B.'s Treatise on Art and Nature._--By a scrap of a book, apparently
of the sixteenth century, it seems to be a Treatise by J.B. upon Art and
Nature: the first book is "of Water-workes." What book is this?

_Nursery Games and Rhymes._--In the _Letters and Memoir of Bishop
Shirley_, allusion is made (p. 415.) to a once popular game called
"Thread the needle," the first four lines of which are given. Can any of
your readers supply the remainder, or refer me to any work where they
may be found? I also should feel obliged by any information respecting
the age and origin of the popular nursery song, beginning,--

"A frog he would a-wooing go,
Heigho, says Rowley."

Perhaps some of your readers will state where the correct text may be
met with.
