HOLLOWAY'S PILLS and OINTMENT. During excessive variations of temperature, every one is more or less liable to internal congestions and inflammations. Throat, chest, liver, bowels, kidneys, and skin all suffer in some degree, and may be relieved by rubbing in this Ointment, aided by proper doses of the Pills, for administering which full directions accompany each box; in truth, any one who thoroughly masters Holloway's "instruc tions" will, in remedying disease, exchange the labour of an hour for the profit of a lifetime. All bronchial, pulmonary, and throat dis orders require that the Ointment should be thoroughly well rubbed upon the skin twice a day with great regularity, considerable brickness, and much persistence.

Rector of Whippingham, Canon of Westminster, and Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen. "It may be doubted whether the death of an ecclesiastic ever called forth so many funeral sermons as have been preached on Dean Stanley. Canon Prothero's at Whippingham, which he has printed at the command of the Crown Prince and Princess of Germany, who heard it, traces the secret of the late Dean's influence to his moral faculties rather than his intellectual powers-a judgment in which most people will concur."-Globe. "The Canon insists on the similarity between the characters of Wesley and Stanley-the same simplicity of faith, the same universal benevolence, the same assertion of independence, the same longing for comprehensiveness of teaching.'"-Gurdian.

Notices to Correspondents, &c. Notes. JOHN MILLS, F.R.S. The subject of this notice was the author of some works on husbandry. These may be said to have gained him substantial reputation, and perhaps led to his election as a fellow of the Royal Society. As regards his projected big book on trade and commerce, the following lettersvery characteristic of the only too frequent disappointment of the toilers in literature in the eighteenth century-may be worth printing in "N. & Q." The correspondence gives one a notion that Nourse, bookseller to his Majesty, had buoyed up the author's hopes without sufficient reflection on the risk of publishing afresh upon a heavy subject in a field then recently occupied by the appearance, in 1764, of Adam Anderson's Deduction of the Origin of Commerce from the Earliest Accounts. In the second letter we find that in 1767 Mills's work had so far advanced that a great deal of it was in type, but that the author was without a sixpence, for want of receipt, so far, of the agreed-upon rate of pay-about one guinea per sheet. In the next letter, addressed to Mr. Nourse's lawyer, we find our author excusing himself for the line of conduct taken by him, and for I. SIR, It is but just that, before you engage with me Commerce will be, I should endeavour to give you some for so considerable a work as that upon Trade & idea of what you are to expect, according to my present design of treating it. The paper which I left with you last week speaks my intended general distribution of that work. The inclosed sheets will shew you the articles, which constitute the principles of that science, manner in which I think that all the fundamental should be handled. They are submitted to your consideration, & if you think of carrying the plan into execution, I shall be glad of your observations & amendments as soon as may be convenient to you;-for I sadly the margin several Indexes (): They are marks of want to set in earnest about something. You will see in places where historical explanatory notes may be given, if you think proper :-but in my opinion one of Mr. Anderson's defects is his having dwelt too much upon historical events-not always in the least pertinent to Commerce. I think that the first part of this work should be treated thus speculatively, in order to throw the greater light upon the practical parts, which are to follow, & at the same time, by this means, to obviate numberless repetitions, which might otherwise be necessary. Your sentiments on this, at your leisure, which I wish to be before Whitsuntide, if you can (for I should be glad then to get a little out of Town), will greatly oblige, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, mentioned in the inclosed list will be wanted speedily, To Mr. Nourse.
