Mag. vol. xvii. p. 543.), that it was published in London, towards the end of the year 1747, and that the very remarkable and very disgraceful transactions to which it refers were afterwards (in 1749) made the subject of a novel, ...

Aphrodite-shell was entirely different, so Tuempel believes: it was obviously difficult to preserve, but for that reason more worthy of notice, for the small [Greek: choirinai] (pectines), virginalia marina (Apuleius de mag. 34, 35, and in reference thereto, Isidor. origg. 9, 5, 24) or spuria ([Greek: sporia]) were only the commoner and more readily ...

Of these he wrote in 1893 in answer to ...

One title, "Al Kavi," a story which Von Hammer says was published in "Mag.

No. 9a in this as well as in several ...
