autograph signatures in nearly all of them called up so many local reminiscences as to make a history of the school itself, which had no place in Carlisle's Account of the Grammar Schools, nor had Christopher Wase left a notice of it in his MS. collections in Corpus Christi College, Oxford. The Leigh collection showed what books went to form a schoolmaster's or a schoolboy's library in the latter half of the seventeenth century, and it illustrated most perfectly the grammar learning which Adam Martindale (a resident in the neighbourhood) went through, both as pupil and teacher, as narrated in the ample details of school education found in his entertaining autobiography. The donor of the books was Ralph Pilling, who built the school-house, became its master, and who wrote himself on the fly-leaves of books and elsewhere as "Doctor," "Philologus," "S. M. D.," "Philotheologus," and "Philiatrus." Pilling was an alumnus of Heskin Grammar School (which possessed in his time, according to the report obtained by Mr. Wase, an excellent stock of books, no longer there), as also of that of Manchester, and he left his library for the benefit of his successors. They are now only 120 in number, and those have greatly suffered from ill usage; but "though mangled, hacked and hewed," they are "not destroyed." There were forty-one books in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin; two in French; ten in logic, moral philosophy, &c.; seven in medicine; two in history; forty-nine in theology, &c. The great schoolmasters were well represented by Erasmus's Colloquies, Maturin Cordeir, Camden, Dr. Busby, Thomas Farnaby, Bishop Saunderson (Logic), Edw. Brerewood, &c. Mr. Bailey's history of the library is intended to preface a catalogue of the books. MR. MURRAY announces amongst his forthcoming works The Life of Bishop Wilberforce, edited by Canon Ashwell; On Cathedral Institutions, by Bishop Benson; Wilkinson's The Ancient Egyptians, edited and brought down to the present state of knowledge by Samuel Birch, LL.D.; The Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria, by George Dennis; a second series of Classic Preachers of the English Church, lectures delivered at St. James's, 1878; A New Life of Albert Dürer, with a history of his art, by Moritz Thausing; The Rise and Development of Mediaval Architecture, lectures delivered at the Royal Academy, by the late Sir G.

The eldest son of Sir Gilbert, and eldest brother of Lord Heathfield, was called John, and was ancestor of the present Sir William Francis Augustus Eliott of Stobs. The names of Lord Heathfield's other brothers are not given in Burke. The defender of Gibraltar was great-grandson of the first baronet of Stobs, Sir Gilbert (cr. 1666); being the son of Sir Gilbert, who was son of Sir William, son of the first baronet. We are unable to identify any general officer of the name of Eliott as a "cousin of Lord Heathfield," unless the term be used in its wide Scottish acceptation for some cadet of the Stobs or Minto families, whom we cannot with certainty trace. Sir Gilbert Eliott, second baronet of Minto (cr. 1700), whose father was a grandson of Stobs, had a son Robert, an "officer in the army," but to what rank he rose we cannot say. It is possible that he may be identical with the person inquired for, though we merely offer this as a hypothetical solution of the difficulty. H.

These Pills act admirably on the stomach, liver, and kidneys, and so thoroughly purify the blood that they are the most efficient remedy in warding off derangements of the stomach, fever, diarrhoea, dysentery, and other maladies, and giving tone and energy to debilitated constitutions. All who have the natural and laudable desire of maintaining their own and their family's health cannot do better than trust to Holloway's Pills, which cool, regulate and strengthen. These purifying Pills are suitable for all ages, seasons, climates, and constitutions, when all other means fail, and are the female's best friend.
