Rheumatism, Neuralgia.-It is sometimes difficult to determine which of these diseases is afflicting the sufferer, but this ignorance will not matter if Holloway's remedies be used. They alleviate and cure all muscular and nervous pains. In hereditary rheumatism, after bathing the affected parts with warm salt water, Holloway's Ointment should be well rubbed upon the spot, that it may penetrate and exert its soothing and regulating properties on the deeper vessels and nerves which are unduly excited, and cause both the pain and swelling. Holloway's treatment has the merit of removing the disease without debilitating the constitution, which was the inevitable result of the bleeding, mercury, and colchicum practice formerly adopted in these complaints. SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & COMPANY'S NEW BOOKS. NEW AND CHEAPER EDITION IN ONE VOLUME, NOW READY, CONTAINING ALL THE ORIGINAL IN DARKEST AFRICA. By Henry M. Stanley, D.C.L. LL.D., &c. Being the Official Publication recording the Quest, Rescue, and Retreat of Emin, Governor of Equatoria. With 3 Maps and 150 Illustrations. Demy 8vo. in handsome cloth binding, 10s. 6d. "Mr. Stanley's narrative of his adventures, privations, sufferings, trials, dangers, and discoveries during his heroic quest and rescue of Emin Pasha is as moving and enthralling a tale as ever was told by man. It is, moreover, told with so genuine a modesty of temper, so transparent a fidelity to fact, so generous and eager a desire on the part of the leader of the expedition to give their due meed of praise and recognition to each and all of his subordinates, not excepting the humblest of his African followers, that the critic's task becomes merely one of unstinted admiration of the almost unexampled greatness of the deeds accomplished and the profound ethical interest of the narrative which describes them."

Besides Pitt's we have also the testimony of Sir William Harbord, Sir Henry on the king's ground, that is on the narrow strip Fane, and others, that the two great wings stood of ground between the park and the Duke Street houses. This, as we shall presently see, is an important piece of evidence towards identifying the exact site of Jeffreys's house. The whole work was finished in about three or four months, and Jeffreys moved into the house. Pitt having thus done his duty under the agreeREPLIES:-Portraits as Book-plates, 210-Angelica Catalani ment, was anxious that Jeffreys should perform his Glass Eyes, 211-Cudham Church-Arabella Fermor-share of the bargain, but the grant was not forthBryan Tunstall-Commonplace Book, 212-Penal Laws D.

NOTES ON BOOKS:-Eltons' Great Book Collectors grant, but would either receive empty promises or not be able even to see him. As time went on the rent became due, and was eventually half a year overdue, when Pitt made his final call, and found Jeffreys in the midst of his creditors, who had assembled at his invitation. As King William had arrived in England, Pitt knew that Jeffreys was willing to lose the rent if Jeffreys would hand him not going to be Lord Chancellor long, and was over the promised grant. There was, however, a serious hitch. Sir Edward Hales, the same who subsequently "went away" with King James, informed the king of the little transaction between the Lord Chancellor and the bookseller, and being a greater favourite with James than Jeffreys, prevailed upon the king to grant him the land at the back of his house and the one next to his. The only consolation that Pitt received from his tenant was that he was going to leave him the house, and was not going to take either the ground or the buildings away with him. His lordship, so far as we know, did not condescend to explain where the rent was to come from, or the money to indemnify Pitt for the 4,000l. expended on buildings which were little better than a white elephant to him, and part of which stood on ground that did not belong to Pitt, and about which he had no agreement. JUDGE JEFFREYS'S HOUSE IN DUKE STREET. (Continued from p. 162.) Pitt was just finishing his great house against the bird-cages in the park, when the Lord Chancellor of evil fame came to Duke Street "house-hunting," with Alderman Duncomb, the banker, and while looking over the said great house noticed the "idle piece of ground" between it and the park wall. He took the house, and made an agreement with Pitt to the effect that Jeffreys was to "beg of King James all the ground without the park wall between Webb's and Storey's inclusive" for ninetynine years at a peppercorn rent, and was to make over to Pitt the king's grant without any alteration, with liberty to pull down or build upon the park wall, and to make a way and lights into the park, in consideration of Pitt erecting certain building or buildings for the Lord Chancellor, and his enjoyment of them during his occupation of the said great house. The buildings to be erected From the Treasury papers it appears that Pitt under the agreement were a cause room and offices, had one Adriell Mill, a stationer, for his partner according to Pitt, or a "" court room, vault, and in these building speculations, to whom he subother conveniences," according to a Treasury paper.sequently parted with his interest. How their Accordingly a warrant was obtained from "Mr. partnership came to grief and was speedily broken Cook out of the Secretary of State's office," in the up is related by Pitt himself. It is also through Lord Chancellor's name, with the king's signature Pitt that we learn that about April, 1689, he let and seal, permitting to pull down the park wall, the big house vacated by Jeffreys to the three and to make a door, lights, and steps leading into Dutch ambassadors who came over to England to |
