§ Sir THOMAS ESMONDEasked the Secretary to the Treasury when the Papal Registers from the Vatican Archives, passed for print last year, will be published?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe whole of the text is in type and has been for some time. The greater part of the index is also now in type. The editor, who is not a salaried official, is engaged in completing the index at Rome in the Vatican library, which is only open at certain seasons of the year. I regret that it is not possible to fix a date for the issue of the work.
