JOHN DE CRITZ (3rd S. ix. 470.) I can find nothing in Flemish biographies or others (excepting Horace Walpole's (G. Vertue's) Anecdotes of Painting) about the said John de Critz, who seems, at all events, to have been very well off in the world, as we see he could bear without flinching a royal debt of 2,1581. 13s., "having been due vnto him a long tyme since in his Mat greate wardrobe." P. A. L.

COUTHLY (3rd S. x. 129.)-"Couth," in South Yorkshire, is used in the sense of keen. "He's couth eniff at a bargain," is a phrase sometimes heard. C. C. R.

PELL-MELL (3rd S. xii. 483.) - Your learned correspondent A. A. has indeed unearthed a curiosity. Clearly the 'prentice-box, or Christmasbox, was so called from piller and malle, spoil-box or polling-box, to contain the spoil or black mail levied by them. Mail means rent or tribute, and is mal in Saxon. It also means a spot, macula, mole, but the round tribute could hardly designate a halfpenny. Can Minsheu possibly mean that it is a box that "the prentices buy to put money [i. e. a halfpenny] into," &c., "à Gal. piller, i. e. pill or polle, and maille"? The words may be only out of order. Was a halfpenny the 'prentice toll levied? Can any archæologist tell?

C. A. W. The French expression describing poverty, of "ni sou ni maille," will help to answer the latter LYDIARD. part of A. A.'s query.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

Men of the Time: A Dictionary of Contemporaries, containing Notices of Eminent Characters of both Sexes. Seventh Edition, revised and brought down to the present Time. (Routledge.)

That a work of such obvious popular interest should reach a seventh edition, and in due time a seventeenth and a seventieth, may well be expected-more especially since every fresh editor seems to vie with his predecessors in giving it completeness. Mr. G. H. Townsend, to whom the present edition has been entrusted, has introduced into it two entirely new features calculated to enhance its value as a work of general reference. The first is a Key to Assumed Names, which is capable of being yet further extended; and the second, a Biographical Index

of those who have passed away from among us, showing the dates of their births and deaths, and a reference to the preceding editions in which their respective memoirs are to be found. Both these add to the utility of this most useful book.

The Bible by Coverdale, MDXXXV. Remarks on the Titles; the Year of Publication; the Preliminary;_the Water-Marks, &c., with Fac-similes, by Francis Fry, F.S.A. (Willis & Sotheran.)

Mr. Fry, who has devoted so much time and research to the history of the earliest English versions of the Scriptures, here presents to Bibliographers a small volume on the subject of Coverdale's Translation of the Bible, the date of its composition and publication, peculiarities of title-pages, variations in the Dedication, and other minutie connected with the Edition, which, illustrated as they are by fac-similes, make it a very interesting little book.

The Mad Folk of Shakespeare. Psychological Essays by John Charles Bucknill, M.D., F.R.S. Second Edition, revised. (Macmillan.)

Eight years ago we bore testimony to the interest of these Essays, in which Mr. Bucknill brings his experience as a professional man, to bear upon Shakespeare's knowledge of abnormal states of mind; and we are glad to see our judgment confirmed by such a recognition of the value of the writer's labours as is shown by the call for a second revised edition of them.

The Boy's Own Book: a Complete Encyclopædia of Sports and Pastimes, Athletic, Scientific, and Recreative. (Lockwood & Co.)

Between 600 and 700 pages devoted to In-door and Out-door Sports, Illustrations of Natural History, Scientific Recreations, Games of Skill, and Parlour Conjuring, profusely illustrated with well-executed woodcuts, make up a book which any boy will be well pleased to call his

own.

OLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.RHEUMATIC PAINS. Many thousands of martyrs from rheumatism have found human life but one long disease, and atter consulting all the most eminent medical men in vain, and trying all sorts of supposed remedies without relief, have grown weary of existence. and have ceased to hope for comfort on this side of the grave, until some lucky accident has called their attention to Holloway's Pills and Ointment. These re genuine remedies indeed: persons bedridden for months with rheumatic pains and swell ngs, after the Ointment hus been well rubbed into the affected parts and the blood purified by the course of these Pills, have found themselves restored in an incredibly short time to perfect health and ease.

THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE

AND

AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE,

A Weekly Journal (registered for transmission abroad),

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF ALL BRANCHES OF HORTICULTURE,
AGRICULTURE, AND COLLATERAL SUBJECTS.

Published every Saturday, price Fivepence, or Sixpence Stamped.

Established in 1841 by the late PROFESSOR LINDLEY in conjunction with SIR JOSEPH PAXTON and other leading Horticulturista, the "GARDENERS' CHRONICLE and AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE" has, as circumstances have demanded, been enlarged in size, and its scope rendered more comprehensive, so that it still remains the largest and most important of all the periodicals devoted to Horticulture and Agriculture, either in this country or abroad.

Thanks to the Contributors and Correspondents-including amongst them almost all the leading Horticulturists, Agriculturists, and Men of Science of the Kingdom-ORIGINAL ARTICLES on all matters connected with the subjects of which the Journal treats are given. The principles of ANIMAL and VEGETABLE PHYSIOLOGY, of BOTANY, and of NATURAL HISTORY generally, so far as they have a bearing on PRACTICAL HORTICULTURE and AGRICULTURE, are explained. The fullest information is supplied as to improved methods of Culture, New Implements, and all points octnected with the Cultivation of Flowers. Fruits, Forests, &c.; the Management of Estates, Farms, Gardens, Orchards, Woods or Stock; the details of Field Cultivation; the practice of Drainage and Irrigation, the Veterinary Art, Road Making, the keeping of Bees, Poultry, &c.; the Construction, Maintenance, Heating, and Ventilation of all Garden or Farm Buildings; in short, of all matters connected with the PRACTICs of HORTICULTURE, AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, FRUIT CULTURE, and RURAL ECONOMY generally.

REPORTS of important METROPOLITAN and PROVINCIAL EXHIBITIONS, as well as of all SOCIETIES, LECTURES. &c., likely to be interesting to the Horticulturist or Agriculturist, are supplied in addition to Weekly Reports of the MARKETS for Corn, Hay, Hops, Cattle, Flowers, Fruit, Timber, &c.

A CALENDAR of WEEKLY OPERATIONS as well as NOTES for AMATEURS supply valuable suggestions to Practical Gardeners and others, and in the NOTICES to CORRE PONDENTS replies are furnished to any questions that may be asked, such replies being given by men of the highest reputation in their respective departments.

WOODCUTS are given whenever the nature of the subject requires them.

Embracing so large a field, addressed to so many classes of readers, and with so large a Circulation not only in Great Britain bet on the Continent, in India, and the various Colonies, the "GARDENERS' CHRONICLE and AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE" affords an excep tionably good Medium for Advertisers, the more so as in addition to the special features of the Journal there is a GENERAL NEWSPAPER, in which a careful Summary of the News of the Week is given without leaning towards this or that party, so that the reader is put in possession of the facts and is enabled to draw his own inferences from them.

Opinions of the Press.

"We must, on the present occasion, content ourselves with adverting briefly to the curious and minute inquiry just instituted by Mr. Thoms into this tale."-Quarterly Review.

"The Romance which Mr. Thoms has dissected with ruthless thoroughness."-Saturday Review.

"Mr. Thoms, the able Editor of that successful little farrago of learning, oddities, absurdities, and shrewdnesses. Notes and Querior, perhaps the one weekly newspaper which will be consulted three hundred years hence, has been trying very hard to get at the truth of the Hannah Lightfoot story. It is nearly impossible to prove a negative, and quite impossible to prove a negative about the secret history of Courts; but Mr. Thoms has certainly succeeded in raising a violent presumption that the story is a delusion, probably based on some intrigue carried on by one of the Royal Family."

Spectator, Jane 22.

"A neat little volume, in which the tale of Hannah Lightfoot and George the Third are scattered to the winds. . . . Mr. Tha ng has in fifty pages-readable and well worth reading-corrected the credati ties of a century's gossip, and contributed some very important historical facts."-Birmingham Journal.

"These antiquated scandals are here blown to the winds by irreddible evidence."-Inverness Courier.
