With darkening days and changing temperatures the digestion becomes impaired, the liver disordered, and the mind despondent, unless the cause of the irregularity be expelled from the blood and body by such an alterative as these Pills. They directly attack the source of the evil, thrust out all impurities from the circulation, restore the distempered organs to their natural state, and correct all defective or contaminated secretions. Such an easy means of instituting health, strength, and cheerfulness should be applied by all whose stomachs are weak, whose minds are much harassed, or whose brains are overworked. Holloway's is essentially a blood tempering medicine, whereby its influence reaches the remotest fibre of the frame and effects a universal good.

On October 1 Ralph de Williton and Walter de Godavill are commanded to keep the said Hubert in the vault in which he was, so that he may not go out of it, and that he have three pairs of iron rings on him, and that no Sate for Sat-St. Blaize-Silhouettes, 355-Jannock-Ox-person have speech with him, but that he have fordshire Folk-lore, 356-Too-too-Horse-dealing ProverbThe "Digest," &c., 357-Reversed Inscriptions, &c., 358..

HUBERT DE BURGH, EARL OF KENT. The following particulars of Hubert de Burgh during the period of his imprisonment in 17 & 18 Henry III., extracted from the Close Rolls, may, perhaps, be of interest to some readers of "N. & Q." The first notice of his disgrace which we trace is dated May 4, 1233, on which day Maurice FitzGerald, Justiciar of Ireland, was commanded, if Hubert de Burg had not delivered to him the Castle of Milloc, in Connaught, and the prisoners there, to take them from him and also to seize the king's lands in Connaught into his hands, and to labour to subjugate the land of Connaught, and to induce the bishops and their men to do the usual customs at the King's Court; and he is further commanded to restore the condition of Macharthy to its former state (Rot. Claus., 17 Henry III. m. 10 d.). On June 20, Hubert Hoes, Henry son of Reginald, Richard de Burgo, Theobald de Engleschevill, and Everard de Castrovill were sent to Walter de Godarvill to keep the peace in the parts of Devises, and it is ordered that victuals shall not be permitted to enter the castle except for the daily support of the knights therein and the men deputed to the custody of Hubert de Burgo, and the said Walter necessary food (m. 2 d). Three days afterwards the Sheriff of Wilts is commanded to enjoin the said Hubert to come out of the Church of St. John of Devises, and come to the king's peace, or else to make an assize of abjuring the realm (ib. m. 2). On October 15 the Sheriff of Wilts is commanded to go with the coroner and county to Devises to keep the said Hubert in the Church of St. John, so that he might not escape (Rot. Claus., 18 Henry III. m. 1 d.). On October 29 the Sheriff of Wilts is commanded to receive the Attorney of Lawrence de Burton for the custody of Hubert de Burgo (ib. m. 35), and on the following day he is commanded to permit Henry Hoes to go to the king's army notwithstanding the king's precept that all the county should go to Devises for the custody of Hubert de Burgo, and on the same day R. de Williton, Constable of Devises, is commanded to cause the keepers of Hubert de Burgo in the Church of St. John, Devises, to have pales, &c., in the park of Devises to make a fence on the bank round the churchyard of the said church (ib. m. 35). Notwithstanding all these precautions the illustrious captive made his escape about this time, though he could not, unless this last order for closing the door of the cage had been given after the bird had flown, have "joined the King's enemies about the first hour of the day on the 30 October" as stated by Roger of Wendover. Nor would it appear that he was rescued by force of arms, but rather through the machinations of his friends, one of whom was Walter de Burgh. Walter's lands were seized into the king's hands, but on December 10 livery of seizin was again granted to him as he had satisfied the king for a horse which he had obtained at Auster Clive (Aust Cliff) when Hubert de Burgo was taken through those parts towards Strigoil (Rot. Claus., 18 Henry III. m. 32). And on January 8 following, Geoffry de Bruis, one of the keepers of Hubert de Burgo, was granted pardon of the king's anger for the escape of Hubert de Burgo (ib. m. 31). JOHN MACLEAN. Bicknor Court, Coleford, Gloucester. A CURIOUS BOOK. During the last eight years I have been engaged in mounting a large collection of portraits, plates, caricatures, handbills, and memoranda relating to remarkable characters. Under this comprehensive heading are included those persons who have obtained a remarkable, curious, notorious, eccentric, or out-of-the-way celebrity. Some of the subjects, perhaps, hardly come within the borders of the title (e.g., George III. and Family, George IV., Royalists, Puritans, &c.); but any one engaged in print collecting is aware that there are a very large number of curious prints, caricatures, and eccentric portraits connected with these subjects, and it is for this reason that they have found a place in my book. The title (printed) of my bookis, Remarkable Characters, collected and arranged by William Rayner, London, 1874, four imperial folio volumes, 2,028 pages. It contains 2,609 portraits, prints, caricatures, handbills, autographs, &c., neatly arranged under the following printed headings and sub-headings, the figures denoting the number of prints, &c., to each subject: Actresses of Rank, 41; Aeronauts, 41; Assassins, 92; Astrologers, 23; Beggars, 10; Blind Persons, 13; Centenarians, 36; Conspirators, 83 (Gunpowder Plot, 1605, 18; the Popish Plots, 1679, 11; Col.

Many of the portraits are the original ones, and a considerable proportion in this large collection are rare and unique. Each volume is properly paged and has a printed index. Every portrait and print has descriptive notes, either written or printed, and the whole of the portraits and cuttings are rubricated. Blank pages have been left under each heading, and I reckon that there is room for an additional eight hundred portraits, which I hope to procure in course of time. WILLIAM RAYNER. 133, Blenheim Crescent, Notting Hill. THORWALDSEN'S BUST OF BYRON. It is well known that during Byron's brief sojourn at Rome in 1817 Mr. Hobhouse prevailed upon him merits of that work have been amply attested by to sit for his bust to the great Thorwaldsen. The those who knew Byron personally. His half-sister. Mrs. Leigh, told Mr. Trelawny that she considered the bust lifelike-surpassing in point of resemblance the portraits of him by Westall and Phillipsand only took exception to a slight defect in the ear not worth mentioning in this note. The cold, reticent Lady Byron was moved to enthusiasm at the sight of the statue which adorns the library at Trinity College, Cambridge,* and exclaimed within waldsen's statue of Byron in the Library of Trinity [For the original correspondence respecting ThorCollege, Cambridge, see "N. & Q.," 6th S. iv. 421.] hearing of Trelawny, "Yes, it is wonderfully like my dear Byron, only not half so beautiful." The original bust, done at Rome, eventually became the property of Mr. John Cam Hobhouse, afterwards Lord Broughton. It is now in the possession of his daughter, Lady Dorchester, and an excellent cast in clay belongs to Mr. John Murray, of Albemarle Street. Those who, in 1877, visited the collection of Byroniana at the Royal Albert Hall may remember to have seen the original bust by Thorwaldsen, which was generously lent for the Occasion by Lady Dorchester. But in addition to the statue at Cambridge and the bust belonging to Lady Dorchester, there is yet another likeness of Byron by Thorwaldsen, safely lodged in the tribuna of the Ambrosian Library at Milan. This bust is worthy of close inspection. It is a replica of the one taken from the life, and was worked under the immediate superintendence of Thorwaldsen himself. I have been at some pains to discover its true history, and now offer the result of my researches to the readers of "N. & Q.” In the early part of this century there lived at Milan a shoemaker named Ronchetti, who stuck about as Ah se il gran Vate a più lontano segno V. B. ZAMBELLI.” OLD SCOTCH KIRK SESSION RECORDS.-(See "N. & Q." 6th S. i. 393; ii. 64, 144, 203; vi. 286). The passage referred to by MR. FEDERER at the last reference is evidently directed against the marriage feast being held on the Sunday, but hundred years later, it was a common practice in it is undoubtedly true that in 1672, and for a Scotland for persons to be married on that day. Prior to 1579 it appears that there was no uniform the General Assembly resolved that "the marriage practice in this respect, but in July of that year may be any day of the weik solemnizat, sua that ane sufficient number of witnes be present Buik of Univ. Kirk), and this determination was given in face of the fact that the First Book of Discipline (1560), says, "The Sonday before noon ought to] be used no day else without the consent we think most expedient for mariage, and [that it of the whole ministerie." The rubric in the Book of Common Order has merely," at the beginning of the sermon." From 1579 onwards marriages were solemnized on Sundays and week-days inbecame a scandal, and to avoid this, Sunday differently. The marriage feast, however, soon marriages were forbidden in Glasgow in 1641, and in Edinburgh in 1643,"not as a thing unlawful in itself, but because it occasioneth profanation of preparation of necessars thereto, as baxters, cooks, the Lord's Day by such as must be employed for &c." In other places the old practice was continued, as at Carnock in 1643, and Livingston in 1692. Baillie, at the Westminster Assembly, includes marrying among the ordinary duties of Scots ministers on the Lord's Day, and Morer differently on any day of the week (see Book of (1689) says that marriages were celebrated inLeishman, p. 360). Dr. Leishman adds that, “in Common Order and Directory, by Sprott and firmly to his last as did the celebrated Joseph Blackett of Seaham. Being artistically inclined and of an amiable disposition, Ronchetti made the acquaintance of some of the greatest men of his time, with whom he appears to have been in frequent correspondence. In the archives of the Ambrosian Library may still be seen the original letter addressed to Ronchetti by Thorwaldsen, dated Rome, Jan. 6, 1827. In this letter the great sculptor promises at some future time to send Ronchetti a souvenir, and although no allusion is made to the nature of the promised gift, we may naturally infer that it would be some work of art from Thorwaldsen's own hand. Between 1827 and 1833 there is no documentary evidence of any kind bearing upon this subject, but we may well suppose that both sculptor and shoemaker kept the promise in mind. The next we hear of the said souvenir is not from the great Thorwaldsen, but from the carrier's receipt for delivery of a bust of Lord Byron sent to Ronchetti at Milan from Rome on the 12th of August, 1833. Now, though six years of absolute silence on the subject elapsed betwixt the written promise and its fulfilment, the authorities at the Ambrosian Library have no doubt whatever as to the authenticity of this bust, nor can any one who has seen Lady Dorchester's Byron fail to trace the master to Thorwaldsen's letter to Ronchetti are the follow-some places Sunday marriages were kept up within ing humorous lines, couched in Dantesque Italian, the other hand, the Westminster Directory, rethe memory of persons now (1868) living."
