JAMES CALDWALL, ARTIST. Such records as those of COL. PARRY, ante, pp. 302-4, are of the greatest value. His Xo. 72, for instance, tells us of the death and burial-place of James Caldwall the artist, who was born in 1739, and who, " by the dates on his prints," according to Bryan, " is known to have lived till 1789." The transcription in question clearly proves that he was living thirty-three years afterwards. W. ROBERTS.


One Sunday not long ago I made a note of No. 72 in this list. The inscription seems to fit in with a notice of James Caldwall in Bryan's ' Dictionary of Painters and En- gravers,' where it is stated that the artist was born in 1739 ; this agrees with the age 84 as given on the tombstone. No date of death is given, but the notice and tha inscription evidently refer to the same person. A. RHODES.

KING'S THEATRE (OPERA-HOUSE), HAY- MARKET. The history of this theatre has yet to be written, and would be a welcome volume. One can find the date on which any particular play was acted at Drury Lane, Covent Garden, or the Little Theatre in the Haymarket, in Genest's * Account of the English Stage,' but it is necessary to go to contemporary newspapers to glean informa- tion about the King's Theatre. Moreover, both Genest and the newspapers generally give a portion of the cast at the three other houses, but the newspapers seldom mention the names of the performers at the Opera- House. Great stars, like Heinel and Ga- brielli, are sometimes announced, but the details in this respect are very meagre ; yet there must be large collections of playbills from which an adequate historical account might be compiled. Both Dr. Doran and Barton Baker have far too little to tell us about the King's Theatre.

CRYSTAL PALACE TICKETS. In view of the increased interest excited by the Crystal Palace at the present moment, some account of the tickets in use there in the late fifties of the last century may be of interest.

Below is a copy of a Crystal Palace Opera Concert ticket :
