 : Illustrated Naval and Military Magazine

'Did you ever come across the "Illustrated Naval & Military Mag."? Genl. Sale-Hill, in the July no. of that periodical, controverts some statements made in "Broadfoot's Journal", published in 1888, and singles out especially the review of that book, in the "Athenaeum" of Feb.2, 1884, for attack.'

Puigre : Journal

'In the course of editing the volume of Lequat for the Hakluyt Society, I have had occasion to make extracts from the French Astronomer Puigre's journal 1760-1761. It is still in MS. at the French Hydrographic department of the Marine, & has never been printed or published.'

Jas (James) Hastie : Journal

'By leave of the Colonial Office I have obtained copies of a MS journal, never published or edited, kept by Jas Hastie, the Civil Agent of Governor Farquhar at the court of Radama I. from 1817-1828. The authorities of the Record office have detained the copy a few days in order to authorize them. & I think the Journal would make (with editing) a good book.'

Andrew Lang : Life, Letters and Diaries of Sir Stafford Northcote

'Your kind present of Andrew Lang's two volumes has just reached me, and from what I have gleaned by a glimpse of the plates wh. I have opened, I have an intellectual treat for store this evening & subsequent nights'.

Dilke : Article on Sir Stafford Northcote in the Athenaeum

'Have you read (Dilke's?) notice in the "Athenaeum", this day, on Sir Stafford Northcote? Andrew Lang had a most difficult task to fulfil. The judicious curtailment and necessary suppression of what people most want to know where unavoidable under the circumstances.'
