Throat ailments, coughs, wheezings, asthmatical affections, shortness of breath, morning nausea, and accumulations of phlegm can readily be removed by rubbing this fine derivative Qintment twice a day upon the chest and neck.

NEW AND IMPORTANT ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF GRAMONT'S MEMOIRS. In 2 vols. large 8vo. printed on laid paper, with uncut edges, price 368. Illustrated with 17 Etchings by C. COURTRY, GUENIER, C.

MEMOIRS THE COUNT OF DE GRAMONT. INCLUDING THE AMOROUS HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH COURT UNDER By COUNT ANTHONY HAMILTON. Translated from the French, and thoroughly Revised by the Original Edition of 1713, with numerous Illustrative and Explanatory Notes; prefaced by an Account of the Gramont Family, and a Memoir of Anthony Hamilton, and supplemented by particulars of the After Careers of the Principal Personages of the Memoirs. Edited by HENRY VIZETELLY, Author of 'The Story of the Diamond Necklace,'' Berlin Under the New Empire,' &c. EXTRACT FROM PREFACE. Although many editions have been published of the 'Mémoires du Comte de Gramont,' both in the original French and in English translations, very few of their editors appear to have taken the trouble to consult Hamilton's original text, while the English editors without exception have repeated all the errors perpetrated by Boyer in the first translation of the work. One striking instance of their carelessness may be referred to. Commentators, from Malone downwards, have exercised their ingenuity in endeavouring to determine the name of the actress whom the Earl of Oxford tricked, and whom Cunningham successfully proved could not have been the performer of the character of Roxana as stated in the English versions of the Memoirs. Had any one among them looked into the original edition of Hamilton's work, much needless speculation might have been avoided, as it would have been at once seen that Hamilton speaks of Roxélane (Ang. Roxalana) and not of Roxana, as the name is printed by all the English and most of the French editors. Another ludicrous error which has crept into the English versions relates to the pair of Martial's gloves sent by Miss Hamilton to Miss Blague. Martial, it should be mentioned, was the fashionable Parisian glove-maker of the epoch, but the trauslator being ignorant of this circumstance rendered the phrase "martial (i. e., military) gloves," apparently not thinking that these would be rather a singular present to make to a lady, especially as it was intended she would wear them at an approaching Court Ball. Some scores of errors, equally inexcusable as the foregoing, have been corrected in this new edition. In the annotation of the present volumes free use has been made of the labours of former editors, still it will be found upon examination that much the larger portion of the notes is original. It was scarcely practicable to distinguish these new notes from the old ones, owing to the latter being frequently intermingled with the former, besides being constantly subjected to amplification, condensation, or correction, as may have been considered necessary. As Hamilton records much of the scandal current at the English Court during Gramont's sojourn there, numerous illustrative extracts have been given from the lampoons of the time dealing with such matters, and in the Epilogue which the present editor has appended to the work, describing the after careers of the principal personages figuring in the Memoirs, many interesting particulars respecting the two rival duchesses, Portsmouth and Mazarin, have been derived from M. Forneron's 'Louise de Keroualle,' a book which is almost as lively and interesting as Hamilton's world-renowed narrative. VIZETELLY & CO. 16, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden.

Notices to Correspondents, &c. Notes. SOME POINTS IN SCOTCH GENEALOGY, A remarkable paper occurs in vol. ii. of the 'Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland,' p. 576, which deserves a note here. After the death of the fourth Earl of Huntly at Corrichie, October 28, 1562, his body was brought to Edinburgh, and, in accordance with the practice of those days, an indictment of high treason was established against him or it, his eldest surviving son being subsequently tried before a court held by the authority of the Justice General on February 8 following, and in both cases a sentence of forfeiture was pronounced. Against these sentences the widowed countess and her eldest son successfully appealed in 1567, and it is the summons of reduction brought by the son that I refer to. It occurs in the records of the last day of the last Parliament of Queen Mary. He says that the offence charged against his father and himself was a conspiracy to murder the Queen's Privy Council, the members of which, therefore, ought not to have sat in judgment on him, and he shows how the assize consisted entirely of mem$bers of that Privy Council or of their near relations. In tracing the consanguinity he contradicts in several points, and supplements in others, the information recorded in our modern peerages, and this with all the authority due to a contemporary of high rank, and who at the time of writing tice Clerk in second and third degrees of affinity, 5. George, Earl of Erroll, attingent to the Juscounting George Hay of Logy, father to the said earl, ane, the said earl twa; Alexander Kennedy of Girvanmains, half-brother to the said George Hay of Logy, and his son Sir Hew Kennedy of Girvanmains, twa, and Barbara Kennedy his daughter, spouse to the said Justice Clerk, the thrid. [Douglas's 'Peerage' says that the name of the father of the sixth Earl of Erroll was Thomas Hay of Logyalmond, not George, and does not support the statement that he was half-brother of Alexander Kennedy of Girvanmains, who seems to have been son of the relict of the second Earl of Erroll, while the sixth earl's father was son of the third earl.] 6. Andro, Maister of Erroll, afterwards seventh earl, son of No. 5. 7. William, sixth Lord Livingstone, was in the second degree of affinity to the Earl of Morton, counting Marioun Douglas and the said Lord Livingstone her son twa, and umquhile James, Earl of Morton, her brother, ane, and the said James Earl of Morton's wife, his daughter, twa. [It is correct that the sixth Lord Livingstone was first cousin to the wife of the Regent Morton ; but Lord Livingstone's mother is named Lady Agnes in the 'Peerage,' not Marioun.] It is also alleged that James, Earl of Murray, and Lord Livingstone's wife are brother's and sister's bairns. [Yes; for Lady Livingstone was a daughter of Lord Fleming by a natural daughter of James IV., while the Earl of Moray was a natural son of James V.] 8. William, fifth Lord Hay of Yester, was attingent to the Earl of Morton in the second and third degrees, and in the second degree to Lord Seton. [Correct.] |
