The dates on the general title-pages (facing the iii., iv., v., and vi. have the date 1843-78; vol. ii. special volume title-page) vary somewhat. Vols. i., has a date differing only by one year, 1844-78; but vol. vii. has 1860-79 on its general title-page, and 1843-79 on its special title-page. It would seem as if these dates should have been transposed. The date 1879 (instead of 1878) for the series is correct, as vol. vii. contains two articles reprinted from magazines of 1879. One of these is The Law of Probable Evidence,' and the date of this seems rather uncertain. The year 1845 is given under the heading on p. 153, and there is See September, 1887, December, 1889, and Sep- this foot-note: "First published in, and reprinted tember, 1891. *Homer......

Moreover, the dates on the special title-page of vol. i., "1875-8," do not seem to be quite correct, as the first address reprinted was delivered in April, 1862.

THE LORD CHIEF BARON NICHOLSON. I do not find that in any work treating on London much has been said about the Judge and Jury Society, an institution which, whatever may be thought of its moral character, existed during a series of years, was one of the stock amusements of London, and one of the first places visited by country cousins on their arrival in the metropolis. I therefore propose putting together some facts respecting this mock court and its founder. Renton Nicholson was born in a house opposite to the Old Nag's Head Tavern, in the Hackney Road, on April 4, 1809; but his parents dying when he was very young, he was brought up by |
