THE MORNING CHRONICLE, ETC.--WHEN FIRST ESTABLISHED.
It is read in the _Newspaper Directory_ that _The Morning Chronicle_ was
established in 1770, _The Morning Herald_ in 1781, _The Times_, 1st
January, 1788. I believe that not one of these dates is correct, and
that of _The Morning Herald_ to be wrong by fifteen years or more. Can
you, or any of the readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES," give me the exact
dates, or tell me where I can find the earlier volumes; say, the first
ten, or either or all?

VALUE OF A REPOSITORY FOR "NOTES."--NEW EDITION OF HERBERT'S "AMES."
[The suggestions in the following Paper are so extremely valuable,
that we are not only pleased to give it insertion, but hope that our
readers will take advantage of our columns to carry out Dr.
Maitland's recommendations.]
Sir,--My attention has been particularly engaged by one suggestion in
your Prospectus, because it seems to hold out a hope that your intended
work will furnish what has long been a _desideratum_ in literature. We
really do want something that may form a "supplement to works already in
existence--a treasury for enriching future editions of them;" while it
may also receive (as I have no doubt you meant to include,) such
contributions of moderate extent, as may tend to render fuller and more
correct some works which have little or no chance of future editions.
