Edited by John Gough Nichols, F.S.A. (Printed for the Camden Society.) movement was not, will be found a valuable help to THE above lady, the editing of whose autobiography must have been a labour of love to the late Mr. Nichols, was born in London in 1622. Her father was Thomas Murray, Prince Charles's tutor, and for a brief time Provost of Eton. He died early, after which the widow and her children dwelt in St. Martin's Lane. Boys and girls, they seem to have been well educated, and kept under severe discipline. Anne Murray learnt languages, music, and all kinds of needlework. Every summer morning at five, and every winter morning at six, she and the other members of her family were in church! They walked in Spring Gardens till that fashionable resort was invaded by vulgar people; and they often went to the play; but Anne is silent as to the merits of the actors. Love, of course, crept in, and a somewhat harsh mother did not tend to bring it to happy issue. The pious and simple-minded maiden was twice cruelly jilted, and it was not till she was past thirty that she was happily married to a worthy Scottish baronet, by whose name she is now known. One of the incidents of her life was connected with the escape of James, Duke of York, from London, which she mainly helped to the success with which it was carried out. The book abounds in illustrations of town and country life in both England and Scot-"the aim of all was Truth, and the path pursued in order land. On one occasion, when a little pressed for to arrive at Truth was that of love, forbearance, tolerance, money, and creditors were uncivil, we find her and generosity." taking temporary refuge in Whitefriars (Alsatia), as her brother had done before her, like Scott's Nigel. When Lady Halkett died in 1699, she had been twenty-three years a widow, after twenty years of calmn and happy married life. There is so much to interest the reader in this record of an eventful life passed in eventful times that our only regret is that it is not longer. Of all Cavalier ladies yet chronicled, Lady Halkett seems to us the most quaint, natural, amusing, and lovable. Catholic Reform Movement in the Italian Church. By W. Chauncy Langdon. (Rivingtons.) Correspondence between the Secretaries of the Friends of Spiritual Enlightenment and the Anglo-Continental Society. (Rivingtons.) The Second Conference of Bonn. An Address Delivered in Lincoln Cathedral, on Sunday, Aug. 29, 1875, by Rev. F. Meyrick, M.A., Prebendary. With a Summary of the Proceedings of the Conference. (W. Wells Gardner.) IN a position of no small difficulty, amidst a population clinging tenaciously to the idea of freedom from the intervention of the foreigner in their Ecclesiastical no less than in their Political regimen, Dr. Chauncy Langdon won for himself the esteem of Italian statesmen, and the confidence of Italian clergy. The narrative which he was thus enabled to draw up of that movement for Catholic Reform in Italy, which seemed the one luminous This song is, I believe, rightly ascribed to Prof. Wilson. "ST. PATRICK WAS A GENTLEMAN" (5th S. iv. 339.)— He wrote an article entitled "Streams" in Blackwood for April, 1826. In this Christopher North is represented as enlivening a picnic at the falls of the Beauly by singing this mock-Irish song; and-which is an unusual circumstance with him-he gives the notes of the air. J. H. I. OAKLEY. C. CUTHBERT will find this song, and all that is known of its author or authors, in Lyricks of Ireland, by Samuel Lover, published in 1858 by Houlston & Wright, Paternoster Row. In the explanatory head-note Lover says: "According to the late Mr. Crofton Croker, who elaborately annotated this song, it is a mosaic production, the work of many hands; three verses being written in 1814 by a couple of gentlemen, who went to a masquerade in Cork as ballad singers. These verses grew into popularity, and other verses were added from time to time." R. M. M. A. This song was written and sung by the late John Toleken, Esq., of the Grand Parade, Cork. He was highly respected in the commercial world, and greatly liked and beloved in private society. Old people still remember his admirable comic acting and singing as a member of a body of amateur dramatists, called the Apollo Society. In later years he retired from business on a handsome independence, and resided in Dublin with his eldest son, the distinguished Dr. Toleken, S. F.T.C.D. in whose house he died, at an advanced age, severa years ago. His well-known song is often repeated with spurious additions, by unknown imitators, which are palpably deficient in the racy humour of the original. S. T. P. MR. W. H. ALLNUTT writes:-"If Dr. Trusler's sermon on The Duty of a Parish to their Minister, 1759, was printed at Hertford, will J. O. kindly oblige me with a verbatim copy of the imprint, and a collation of the book? The earliest Hertford book known to Dr. Cotton is dated 1777." THE REV. H. T. ELLACOMBE'S Detailed Account of the Bells in all the Old Parish Churches of Somersetshire, their Founders, Legends, &c., is announced as being "just ready." This account was first undertaken for the Archæological Society of that county. It was afterwards recast and much lengthened, with many additional illustrations, for the Exeter Diocesan Architectural Society. There is added to the above an olla podrida of bell matters of general interest. ARCHEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE.-Nov. 5.-Sir S. D. Scott, Bart., V.P., in the chair.-The Chairman made some remarks appropriate to the opening of the new Session, and expressed his regret at the recent decease of Dr. Hook, an old member of the Society.-Mr. Poole read "Notices of the Sepulchral Brasses and other Monuments in Margate Church," and exhibited rubbings, and a palimpsest found there-Mr. Cowper read "Notes on an Entrenched Camp in Epping Forest not in the Ordnance Map.-Sir G.

"MEN OF KENT" AND "KENTISH MEN."-On this subject Mr. Furley has addressed the following to a Kent paper: "Our earliest bishoprics were generally co-extensive with kingdoms; thus, with the two sees of Canterbury and Rochester, we find East and West Kent for a time ruled over by two distinct sovereigns. The terms' East and West Kentings' were preserved until the very downfall of the Saxon Monarchy. Sigiræd, in the seventh century, calls himself King of half Kent' (History of the Weald of Kent, v. i. p. 11), and the local burthens of the county (as we have lately seen) continued to be separately charged until the commencement of the present century. This division, which has undergone little if any change during the last 300 years, is regulated by our hundreds and not by our parishes, which are frequently severed. Portions of the Weald, for instance, are situated in East as well as West Kent, and the favour shown to hops grown in East Kent, referred to by K. A. S., has served to preserve this boundary line. Of this I will give an instance. For all civil purposes it would be more convenient that the parish of Wittersham, in East Kent, and forming part of the Ashford petty sessional division, should be transferred to Cranbrook; but when the subject was agitated thirty years ago the hop-planters of Wittersham opposed the change, solely from the fear of losing their East Kent trade mark. "The assertion that the inhabitants of Kent living east of the Medway, who style themselves 'Men of Kent,' were never conquered, is as baseless a fancy as the boast that slavery never existed in our county. If, in older times, the men of East Kent, from their local position, often formed our British vanguard, the men of West Kent had, at a later period, their share of sanguinary conflicts. I have before now had to consider both these questions, and the conclusion that I have come to, as I have expressed in my History of the Weald of Kent, is that the term 'Men of Kent,' when applied to the residents in the Eastern division, and Kentish Men,' when applied to those residing in West Kent, has been used since the Norman Conquest solely for the purpose of local distinction, and not from any imagined superiority of one part of Kent over the other. This is my solution of the puzzling question' asked by K. A. S., and which I submit quantum valeat.-I remain, your obedient servant, ROBERT FURLEY. "Ashford, Nov. 4, 1875."

Ulcerations of the leg of standin are best treated by acting on the plan recommended by Professor Holloway in his carefully drawn up directions which accompany his remedies. The irritable character of the sores soon disappears, and in its place the diseased part is firstly cleansed and purified, and subsequently a healthy action of the blood vessels ensues, which causes the ulcerated parts to fill up with sound tissue, and thus the sore is eventually healed. To effectually establish the cure on a permanent basis by acting on the blood itself, it is advisable to take the Pills in alterative doses at the same time t at the Ointme is used locally BEN MILNER'S WOOING.
