OLLOWAY'S PILLS.-For the cure of debility, is so well known in every part of the world, and the cures performed by its use are so wonderful, that it now stands pre-eminent above all other remedies, more particularly for the cure of bilious and liver complaints, disorders of the stomach, dropsy, and debilitated constitution. In these diseases the beneficial effects of the Pills are so permanent that the whole system is renewed, the organs of digestion strengthened, and a free respiration promoted. They expel from the secretive organs and the circulation the morbid matter which produces inflammation, pain, fever, debility, and physical decay-thus annihilating, by their puritying properties, the virulence of the most painful and devastating diseases. 36s.

"The first characteristics which must strike everyone who takes in hand this volume is the pains and industry which have been laid out upon it. It is true Mr. Elwin has had twenty years at least to mature his work. But the result shows, not merely has he taken his time, but that he has brought to his work a spirit of thoroughness. Mr. Dilke's articles in the Athenæum' were very useful in this respect, and Mr. Elwin has not only availed himself of the results, but has adhered to his method. In 150 introductory pages he examines the circumstances attending the publication of Pope's correspondence. These circumstances were shrouded, not by the mist of time, but by the complicated artifices of Pope himself in such a tangled web of mystery as it must have taken long hours of patience to penetrate and unravel."—Saturday Review. "If the admirers of Pope have had their patience sorely tried while will confess that that patience has its reward in a collection of the poet's writings which promises to leave little scope for the labours of future commentators or future editors. While Mr. Elwin has availed himself freely and judiciously of the labours of preceding editors, he has with great advantage to the students of Pope brought his own critical powers to bear as much upon their judgments as upon the poet's writings, so that his comments on the commentators are far from the least instructive portion of the volume."-Notes and Queries.

"An important part of our duty is to make mention of the general completeness and excellence of the notes in this volume. Without giving way to the mania of annotation by which some editors have been afflicted, Mr. Elwin leaves no allusion unexplained, identifies almost every real character, and keeps the reader from missing the point of all the epigrams which Pope sprinkles over the surface of his poems. This is no slight service to such an author."-Spectator. "It would be premature perhaps to judge decisively of Mr. Elwin's editorial capacity from a single volume of an extensive publication; but since in this preliminary volume, the mystery of the correspondence, which is by far the most difficult of all the Pope mysteries, is elaborately discussed, and, to our thinking, satisfactorily explained, we are justified in anticipating that the work as it progresses will fulfil the promise of its opening pages."—Athenæum. "One of the most valuable contributions to English literary history which has ever appeared. The materials were collected in the first instance by Mr. Croker, and the editor has had access to Lord Oxford's papers, preserved at Longleat, which throw much light on Pope's character and conduct. The Caryll papers have also been most useful; and the services which Mr. Dilke rendered the editor, not only in reference to these papers, which he had so carefully annotated, but also by the advice and assistance which he afforded, are gratefully acknowledged."-John Bull. "We are glad to welcome this new edition of a great English classic, which promises to do credit both to the editor and publisher. Mr. Elwin has been engaged upon the work for many years, and we know of no one better qualified to do justice to it than the former editor of the Quarterly Review.'"-Pall Mall Gazetle.

Mr. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons on Feb. 13, 1871, that "It was no unusual thing in the history of this country, but far otherwise, for persons of the Royal House to bestow their hand upon British subjects." The first of these three marriages with the King's consent is that of Eleanor, the youngest daughter of King John, to William Mareschall, Earl of Pembroke. Her husband was the first subject in the realm, and his father had lately been the Regent of England; but Henry III. thought it necessary to apologise for consenting to such a match, and his letter to his proctors at Rome is still extant, and runs as follows, in a translation slightly abbreviated: "Since there are some people perhaps who, by suggestion to the Lord Pope and the Cardinals, will try to put an evil construction on what has lately been done by us on the counsel of our magnates and lieges, we have undertaken to explain the whole course of the affair to put you more on your guard in refuting their insinuations. "Know then, that when the Bishop of Norwich was Legate in England, the Earl Marshal was still in possession of the royal castles of Marlborough and Ludyershall, and was proposing to take to wife the sister of Earl Robert de Brus, and there were also other magnates in England who were trying to draw him astray from us by alliances to our wrong. The question, therefore, of giving him one of our sisters was handled before the Lord Legate and our Justiciary and other magnates; for it was feared that, if the Earl Marshal married the sister of the Earl de Brus, this foreign alliance would give too free an ingress into England to foreigners, especially when Richard Marshall, the Earl's brother, held all his castles and honour in Normandy; and moreover, the illfeeling of those who were trying to draw away the Earl's heart from us was a subject of apprehension. Whereas, if we gave him one of our sisters, the said castles would be restored to us, which was a matter of great importance, and other magnates would be induced by his example to give up the castles which they held. Considering then the premises, and our tender age and the state of the realm, one of our sisters was by the authority of the Legate and the counsel of the magnates granted to the Earl Marshal on the terms that he gave his pledge to marry her, if it so pleased us and the magnates of the realm. Our Justiciary pledged himself to this concession to the Marshal, if the magnates consented; and the faithfully promised to use all diligence to get such conLegate and Justiciary, and the others who were present, The Premier made this statement in support of his motion to provide a dowry for the Princess Louise, "in view of her approaching marriage,' sent. The said castles were then restored into the hands with her Majesty's consent, to the son of a Scot- of the Legate on condition that, if the contract was not tish peer. It has become, therefore, an interest- fulfilled within a certain period, which has long passed, ing question what precedents there are in English when all this was intimated soon afterwards to the other they should be restored to the Marshal without difficulty. history of the daughters and sisters of the reign-magnates, and particularly to the Earl of Chester, who ing sovereign marrying British subjects with the royal assent. I have only been able to find three such instances-all of them in the thirteenth century, and all of them with personages of great power and wealth-who accepted the condition of receiving no dowries, and of resettling their vast estates with reversion to the Crown, to the exclusion of their own kindred. All the other marriages of English princesses to husbands not royal were either to foreigners of royal descent and connections, like Ingelram de Coucy, or were contracted without the leave of the sovereign. The daughters of Edward IV. cannot be quoted as an exception, for they were married after the fall of their dynasty, and after they had ceased to be regarded as princesses of the reigning House. had just come home from the Holy Land, the Earl loudly But and Ireland, should take to wife the sister of the Earl de |
