HOLLOWAY'S Indisputable Remedies.-In the use of these medicaments there need be no hesitation or doubt of their cooling, healing, and purifying properties. Imagination can scarcely conceive the marvellous facility with which this unguent relieves and heals the most inveterate sores and ulcers, and in cases of bad legs and bad breasts they act like a charm. The Pills are the most effectual remedy ever discovered for the cure of liver and stomach complaints, diseases most OFFICE, disastrous in their effects, deranging all the proper functions of the organs affected, inducing restlessness, melancholy, weariness, inability to sleep, and pain in the side, until the whole system is exhausted. These wonderful Pills, if taken according to the printed directions accompanying each box, strike at the root of the malady, stimulate the stomach and liver into a healthy action, and effect a complete cure.

THE STATUE OF BYRON IN THE LIBRARY OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. It had been my intention, after speaking of some of the MSS. in the College Library, to have dwelt next upon a selection of the more choice of the early printed books. The kindness, however, of Mr. C. De la Pryme, of Trinity College, has unexpectedly put in my hands some interesting correspondence with reference to Thorwaldsen's statue of Lord Byron, now in the library, as well as a short running narrative to connect the letters together. Mr. De la Pryme was good enough to suggest that these papers might fitly be published through the medium of " N. & Q.," in connexion with the papers now appearing therein on Trinity College Library. The keen interest yet felt in Byron, the exceeding beauty of the statue, and the curious fortune which led to its finding its present home, will, I think, justify the reproduction of the correspondence in extenso, and no more fitting place can be found for it than "N. & Q." I have added nothing to Mr. De la Pryme's narrative, but have condensed slightly here and there. -In May, 1829, a meeting was held of the subscribers to the fund raised for the purpose of erecting a statue to Lord Byron. The chairman, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, M.P. (afterwards Lord Broughton; M.A. of Trinity College), was commissioned to write to Baron Thorwaldsen, requesting him to undertake the work. The two following letters were consequently addressed to the sculptor :-- Sir John Cam Hobhouse to Baron Thorwaldsen. Londres, ce 22 Mai, 1829. MONSIEUR,-Comme président du comité des souscripteurs pour le monument de Lord Byron, je prends la liberté de vous demander si nous pouvons nous flatter de l'espérance d'avoir un ouvrage de votre façon.. Vous avez bien connu Lord Byron, et le buste, maintenant chez moi, ressemble parfaitement à la figure de ce grand poète. Le comité a déterminé que le monument consistera d'une seule statue de la grandeur ordinaire, c'est à dire, de huit pieds environ, placée sur un piédestal assez simple dans l'église métropolitaine de Londres, ou dans l'Abbaye de Westminster. Nos fonds ne sont pas encore considérables, et ce que j'ose vous demander, c'est, si mille livres sterling (1,000) seront suffisantes pour la dépense d'un tel ouvrage. Je parle de la statue seule, car les frais de port, de la douane, du piédest il, &c., monteront à 5007. davantage. Il y a peu de mois que j'étois à Rome, quand j'ai laissé ma carte de visite à votre porte, mais je n'ai pas eu la bonheur de vous voir. J'espère, Monsieur, que vous me ferez l'honneur d'une réponse à cette lettre, et je suis, avec la considération la plus parfaite, Votre serviteur très-humble, Sir John Cam Hobhouse to Buron Thorwaldsen. Londres, ce 24 Nov., 1829. M. LE CHEVALIER,-La première séance du comité des souscripteurs à la statue monumentale de Lord Byron a eu lieu le vendredi passé. Je leur ai lu votre lettre, et ils m'ont chargé de vous faire part de leurs sentiments très profonds de reconnaissance pour la sympathie généreuse et la rare libéralité qui ont dicté votre offre de nous donner la statue et même d'y ajouter un bas-relief, pour les mille livres sterling-somme, la vérité, pas proportionnée au travail proposé. Nous avons appris, avec un plaisir infini, votre intention de vous mettre au plus vite à un ouvrage digne, comme il sera, du plus grand poète et du premier sculp teur du siècle. Peut-être, Monsieur, quand vous en aurez déterminé le modèle, vous aurez la bonté, si cela n'est pas hors d'usage, de nous le communiquer, afin que nous puissions démontrer aux souscripteurs et au public, que nous avons fait notre devoir. La statue sera placée Cathédrale de St. Paul, ou au Musée Britannique, ou à ou dans l'Abbaye de Westminster, ou dans la grande la Galerie Nationale. Vous verrez parmi les membres du comité les noms les plus distingués de l'Angleterre. Mr. Louis Chiaveri de l'art, ils vous seront à jamais redevables pour le noble en à la liste. Comme amis de leur patrie, du poète et dévouement avec lequel vous avez bien voulu vous prêter à leur digne projet. Je ne sais pas s'il sera nécessaire de vous avertir que le pied droit de Byron était un peu contrefait. Du reste poitrine et les épaules, comme vous aurez, sans doute, ses proportions étaient belles et grandes, surtout la remarqué. Son portrait, grâces à vos soins, est mieux connu que |
