The very satisfactory results arising from the use of this invaluable Ointment, when the patients have been suffering from any of the above disorders, have induced the Medical Profession to introduce it into the hospitals and their private practice, and in many instances where the sufferer was considered incurable Holloway's Ointment, in conjunction with his Pills, have relieved the most desperate cases. They are also unequalled for the oure of scrofula, scurvy, and all diseases of the skin, and the oures they effect are not merely partial and temporary, for by their purifying powers they bring about a marvellous and complete change in the whole system, enabling it, with renovated powers, to resist the approach of all future attacks of similar diseases.

JOHN FRANCIS, 20, Wellington Street, Strand, London, W.C. L LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1882. CONTENTS.-N° 127. "The Verse." Then the first nine books in 294 pages. The second volume consists of half-title, "Paradise Lost. | Tome Second." Then "A Glossary, Comprehending A Brief and clear explication of all the difficult words in Milton's Paradise Lost that are not to be found in A. Boyer's Dictionary." This takes up 76 pages, and consists not only of NOTES:-A French Edition of "Paradise Lost," 421-Letters "Benedicite "-Books gone astray, 427. QUERIES:-"The St. James's Beauty "-Yorkshire Wills- Costobadie of Auvergne, 427-Aitzema, "Notable Revolu Cauld Kail in Aberdeen"-Filial Affection of the Stork, 433 Family-Firstfruits of English Bishoprics-Heraldic-De but also of corrections of errors of the press and punctuation, which, as might be expected in an English book set up by French compositors, are very numerous, and sometimes very absurd. For instance, at the expulsion of our first parents from Paradise, at the close of the twelfth book, Milton tells us, "Some natural tears they dropp'd, but wiped them soon," which in this French edition appears, "Some natural tears they drop'd, but vip'd them soon." The correction in the Glossary is "but vip'd lisez but wip'd." Then follow books x., xi., xii. of the poem in 96 pages; and then a most excellent index of subjects and passages in the poem. Now this little French edition of Milton's Paradise Lost is not only a curiosity but a rarity. It is not NOTES ON BOOKS:-Froude's "Thomas Carlyle "-Mac-mentioned by any bibliographer, Brunet, Lowndes, Lane-Lemans of Norfolk, &c.-The "Protestant Flail phail's "History of the Religious House of Pluscardyn " Sweetman's "Calendar of Documents relating to Ireland, 1293-1301," &c.

It seems to have been quite unknown to Todd; and Prof. David Masson writes to me that he has not only never seen it, but had never heard of it till I called his attention to it. There is a copy in the British Museum, but it is imperfect in the index. The French notes explanatory of Milton's language are chiefly translated from Bishop Newton, two:Pearce, and others. I will give an example or 1. I attended the Sunderland sale on the day on which the editions of Dante were sold, and need hardly remark that I was not a little surprised at Succinct, retroussé. Le Docteur Pearce l'entend d'un "His habit fit for speed succinct.'-iii. 643. the prices realized. On the same day I strolled into autre maniere. Mais tout le monde sçait que les voyaa book-stall. Two little volumes in old French bind-geurs avoient soin de retrousser leurs habits pour faire ing caught my eye. They were lettered "Paradis plus de diligence." Anglois." On taking down the work I found it to be an edition of Milton's Paradise Lost with which I was hitherto unacquainted. I will transcribe the title :- "Paradise Lost, | a | Poem, | in | Twelve Books. | The Last Edition. | The Author | John Milton. at Paris, Printed for David, junior, Upon the | Austins-friers-Key. | M.DCO. LIV." The collation is as follows: Half-title, "Paradise Lost, | A | Poem, | In | Twelve Books. | The Last Edition." Then the full title as above. Then "To the Right Honorable John Lord Sommers, Baron of Evesham, &c." (this is taken from the small edition published after the folio which Somers mainly promoted). Then half-title: "The Life of M. John Milton" (this is Fenton's Life). Then postscript to the same. Then Sam. Barrow's Latin verses, In Paradisum Amissam" (sic). Then commendatory verses by Andrew Marvell. Then 2. "How from that sapphire fount the crisped brooks Rolling on orient pearl and sands of gold.' iv. 237. Crisped brooks, ruisseaux frisés, garnis de joncs." I do not know whence the editor derived this explanation. Since, by ainsi lit-on dans la plupart des éditions, et entr'autres dans celles du M. Bentley et de M. Fenton; ce qui fait à peine un sens. Lisez donc comme les editions revues par Milton since thy ce qui fait un sens clair et net." I have only given a few specimens of the notes, but may add that the editor has shown considerable discernment in his selection and translation of notes illustrative of Milton's language from Spenser and Shakspeare, and his explanations of Miltonic words in French are on the whole happy; he has also paid much attention to the punctuation. On the whole, the edition is an interesting one, and, I have every reason to believe, a rarity. I purchased the little volumes, which are in excellent condition, for a few pence, while an hour or two previously I had seen editions of Dante selling for more than ten times the number of pounds. I should think Milton, to an Englishman, as interesting as Dante. Upton Rectory, Didcot. RICHARD HOOPER, LETTERS OF SAMUEL JOHNSON TO DR. TAYLOR. (Continued from p. 383.) DEAR SIR, Now you find yourself better consider what it is that has contributed to your recovery, and do it ever again. Keep what health you have and try to get more. I am now within a few hours of being able to send the whole dictionary to the press, and though I often went sluggishly to the work, I am not much delighted at the completion]. My purpose is to come down to Lichfield next week. I will send you word when I am to set out, and hope you will fetch me. Miss Porter will be satisfied with a very little of my company. I am, Dear Sir, Your affectionate Servant SAM. JOHNSON. Oct. 6, 1772. DEAR SIR,-Your solicitude for me is a very pleasing evidence of your friendship. My eye is almost recovered, but is yet a little dim, and does not much like a smalk print by candle light. You will however believe that I think myself pretty well, when I tell you my design. I have long promised to visit Scotland, and shall set out to morrow on the journey. I have Mr Chamber's company as far as Newcastle, and Mr Boswell an active lively fellow is to conduct me round the country. What I shall see, I know not, but hope to have entertainment for my curiosity, and I shall be sure at least of air and motion. When I come back, perhaps a little invitation may call me into Derbyshire, to compare the mountains of the two countries. In the mean time I hope you are daily advancing in your health. Drink a great deal, and sleep heartily, and think now and then of Dear Sir Your Most humble Servant, To the Rev Dr Taylor in Ashbourne Derbyshire. DEAR SIR,-When shall I come down to you? I believe I can get away pretty early in May, if you have any mind of me; If you have none, I can move in some other direction. So tell me what I shall do. I have placed young Davenport in the greatest printing house in London, and hear no complaint of him but want of size, which will not hinder him much. He may when he is a journeyman always get a guinea a week. The patriots pelt me with answers. Four pamflets, I think, already, besides newspapers and reviews, have been discharged against me. I have tried to read two of them, but did not go through them. Now and then I call on Congreve, though I have little or no reason to think that he wants or wishes to see me. I sometimes dispute with him, but I think he has not studied. He has really ill health, and seems to have given way haste to claim. He confesses a bottle a day. to that indulgence which sickness is always in too much I am Sir Your humble Servant, April 8, 1775. DEAR SIR,-I came back last Tuesday from France. Is not mine a kind of life turned upside down? Fixed to a spot when I was young, and roving the world when others are contriving to sit still, I am wholly unsettled. I am a kind of ship with a wide sail, and without an anchor. Now I am come home, let me know how it is with you. I hope you are well, and intend to keep your residence this year. Let me know the month, and I will contrive to be about you. Our friendship has now lasted neither has any other companion to whom he can talk of so long, that it is valuable for its antiquity. Perhaps his early years. Let me particularly know the state of your health. I think mine is the better for the journey. mode of of common life is gross and incommodious, and The French have a clear air and fruitful soil, but their disgusting. I am come home convinced that no improvement of general use is to be gained among them. I am, Dear Sir, Your affectionate Servant, London, Nov. 16, 1775. [No address.] DEAR SIR,-The Case which you sent me contains such vicissitudes of settlement and rescission that I will not pretend yet to give any opinion about it. My advice |
