Cambridge, March 27.


_Marylebone Gardens_.--In what year did Marylebone Gardens finally
close?

NASO.


_Toom Shawn Cattie_.--I find these words (Gaelic, I believe, from
_Tom John Gattie_) in an old Diary, followed by certain hieroglyphics,
wherewith I was wont to express "_recommended for perusal_." I have
lost all trace of the recommender, and have hunted in vain through
many a circulating library list for the name, which I believe to
be that of some book or song illustrating the domestic life of our
Western Highlanders. Can any of your readers assist me in deciphering
my own note?

MELANION.


_Love's Last Shift_.--In the first edition of Peignot's _Manuel du
Biblioplide_, published in 1800, the title of Congreve's "Mourning
Bride" is rendered "L'Epouse du Matin." Can any of your readers inform
me whether it is in the same work that the title of "Love's Last
Shift" is translated by "Le dernier Chemise de l'Amour?" if not, in
what other book is it?
