light it throws upon many obscure points of history. The work is one which will be welcome to "all Celtic scholars, and indeed to all who are interested in the literature and history of the Sister Island. By Marciano; or, The Discovery. A Tragi-Comedy. William Clark, Advocate. Printed for Private Circulation. Though it is not our custom to notice private reprints of rare books, we are induced to depart from our ordinary course on the present occasion, partly from the rarity of the original edition of the Tragi-Comedy here reprinted, which was published at Edinburgh in 1663, and partly from the merits of Marciano, which, as the Editor in his interesting introductory notice justly remarks, are of no common order. BOOKS RECEIVED.-The Life of Sir Walter Scott, reprinted with Corrections and Additions from the Quarterly Review. By the Rev. G. R. Gleig, M.A. (A. & C. Black.) Our readers will doubtless recollect the very pleasant "Sketch of the personal career and individual Character of Walter Scott, the Man," which appeared in the Quarterly Review for January 1868. This sketch, from the accomplished pen of the Chaplain of the Forces, is now reprinted with additions and corrections, and will serve to supply a popular want at the ensuing Centenary of Sir Walter's birth.-A Chart of French History, showing the Succession of the Houses of Angoulême, Bourbon, and Orleans, also the Republic and Empire from A.D. 1498 to A.D. 1870, by A. Quincey. (Longmans.) A very useful shillings-worth, at a moment like the present, when so many dynastic questions, and questions relating to the future government of France are under consideration. THE papers by "Q." on the " Dramatists of the present Day," are to be published immediately by Messrs. Chapman & Hall. MR. W. H. LOGAN, the editor of the reprint of Marciano, is preparing to reproduce, in an impression limited to seventy-five copies, The Poems of the Hon. Lord Craig, one of the Senators of the College of Justice, a cousin of Burns's Clarinda, and a contributor to The Lounger, and other periodicals of his day. ARCHEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE.-The Annual Meeting of the Archæological Institute, which will commence on Tuesday next at Cardiff under the patronage of the Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Cawdor, and Lord Tredegar, and under the Presidentship of the Marquess of Bute, promises to be one of considerable interest. Mr. Freeman will preside over the Historical Section, Mr. Clark over the Architectural, while that of General Antiquities will have for its President Lord Dunraven; and Mr. Charles Tucker will again undertake the important duty of the Directorship of the Museum. ་ BRITISH MUSEUM.-Mr. R. Cowtan, who for the past thirty years has been connected with the Museum, and is probably known to many of our readers as the author of Autobiography of a Man of Kent," is about to publish a volume of " Memories of the Library of the British Museum, 1835-1871." It is intended not so much for the use of bibliographers and scholars as to tell the reading public how the books in the finest and largest library in the world were got together, and something about them. "THE BATTLE OF DORKING."-The Pall Mall Gazette has the following :-"As a good deal of curiosity exists as to the authorship of the Battle of Dorking, we believe we may state with confidence that it was written by Colonel George Chesney, the author of Indian Polity." LIEUT.-COL. FRANCIS CUNNINGHAM has in the press three volumes of a Handbook for London. The work is an enlargement and continuation of the well-known book by the Lieut.-Colonel's late brother, Mr. Peter Cunningham. Mr. MURRAY will publish in November Mr. Grote's Aristotle, on which work the author has been engaged for many years. It will be published as Mr. Grote left it. COMPLETION OF ST. PAUL'S.-A correspondent of The Times suggests that, among the plans for adorning St. Paul's Cathedral, something should be done to recall the memory of the famous men whose bones and monuments perished in the Great Fire. Two in particular, it is suggested, ought not to be forgotten-John of Gaunt and Sir Philip Sidney, both of whom were buried under the pavement of old St. Paul's.

TOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. H Pimples, Boils, Carbuncles, &c., are always vexatious complaints, sometimes even attended with danger. These maladies arise from some obstruction to the free circulation of blood through the blood vessels or capillaries, and the only rational mode of cure consists in removing the local impediment at the same time that any impurity engendered by the stoppage should be filtered from the blood. Holloway's Ointment applied to the parts effects the former, his Pills accomplish the latter object. The inflamed skin derives softness, coolness, and ense from the application of this unguent, which gradually penetrates to the affected tissues, soon restores the circulation and its channels to a healthy condition, and saves the sufferers from most serious diseases..

A New and Revised Edition, incorporating the Author's Supplemental Notes and latest Corrections. Edited by WM. SMITH, D.C.L. "This reproduction of Mr. Hallam's Middle Ages' has nearly all his later corrections interwoven with the text, and a most useful book is the result. A considerable number of documents, genealogical and other tables, are also added, and some further historical information supplied from works published since Mr. Hallam's own latest edition. The book is one for which we are much indebted both to editor and publisher."-Literary Churchman. "In this edition the principal notes have been incorporated in the text, and some fresh ones added, the most important being the statutes of William the Conqueror, the Constitutions of Clarendon, Magna Charta, and some other original documents. In its present shape it will be very welcome to many."—Examiner. "To prepare an edition of Hallam's celebrated work for the use of students, required more than ordinary care, so as to preserve the great bulk of the original history, with such emendations as were subsequently made by the author, omitting merely such portions as he would himself have omitted as redundant. This design has been executed with extreme judgment."-Civil Service Gazette. Dr. Wm. Smith has incorporated all the author's corrections and additions in the text instead of leaving them in the notes, and he has succeeded in producing an excellent SCHOOL HALLAM, shorter and more convenient for students than any edition which has appeared before."-Globe.
