The Chronicles of the Collegiate Church or Free Chapel of All Saints, Derby. By the Rev. J. Charles Cox and W. H. St. John Hope, B.A. Illustrated by George Bailey. (Bemrose & Sons.) MR. Cox has been too long engaged in looking at churches and describing them not to know how to make the most of so good a brief as has been put into his hands and into the hands of his junior, Mr. Hope. To say that they have made the best of their case is to say no more than was to be expected. In truth, we have rarely seen so excellent a monograph as this, and the only regret that comes upon us as we read the book is that All Saints' Church, Derby, in its present state is not more worthy of so exhaustive a volume as Mr. Cox has managed to produce upon the ideal church, which the present composite edifice stands for. As for the fabric itself, its early history is a perfect blank. The authors of this volume have found almost nothing about it. They cannot tell when the magnificent tower (which is the leading feature of the structure) was begun or finished; but it seems probable that it was built in the sixteenth century, and, if so, it is one of the most successful Tudor towers in England. The nave and aisles, which were at one time the natural appendages-if the expression may be allowed-were pulled down in 1723 in the most audacious manner by a certain Dr. Hutchinson, a grandson of Bishop Hacket, who in an evil hour had been elected minister of the church by the corpora tion a short time before. This high-handed gentleman seems to have carried things his own way by sheer impudence, and we have a most extraordinary story of his proceedings in the destruction of the old church and the erection of the new in this volume. Nothing but the mass of masonry and its great height appear to have saved the very tower from demolition at the hands of this autocratic church restorer. The Puritans-those convenient persons for laying the sins of our forefathers upon-are credited with the destruction of the chancel, the smashing of the stained glass, and a great deal else in the way of vandalism; but the doctor of divinity with episcopal blood in his veins outdid all the Puritans of his own or any former time. Great difficulty was experienced in getting together the money for building the new edifice, and it seems that the expedient, supposed to be of modern invention, of sending circulars to all likely persons was resorted to, and that even Sir Robert Walpole and Sir Isaac Newton were among those who were induced to send subscriptions. The carrying out of the architect's designs and the rebuilding of the church on new lines was a much more successful achievement than might have been expected, for the story of squabbling and quarrelling is more than ordinarily discreditable to most of those concerned; and some care must have been taken to preserve the principal monuments which were in the old church, and which have been transferred to the new one. By far the most curious of these is the unique wooden effigy and part of the tomb of one of the canons who served the church before the suppression and spoliation of conventual and collegiate establishments by Henry VIII. The chapter on the bells of the church is very well put together, and really worth reading by other than merely local antiquaries; and the churchwardens' accounts and books of orders have a value and interest for those who know how to read between the lines. The volume is splendidly got up, and the illustrations are excellent and reflect the highest credit upon the artistic skill of Messrs. Bemrose & Sons, whose lithographs of Mr. Bailey's drawings it would be very difficult to surpass. We have very rarely, if ever, seen more exquisite specimens of lithography than are to be found among the ornaments from the bells in plate xvi. In the happy combination of softness of tone, distinctness of outline, and delicacy of colour, it would be difficult to match them. The publishers are to be congratulated on the appearance of this splendid volume: a book which is likely to help on materially the new fashion happily on the increase-of getting together all the information that is to be collected on the history of a parish church and printing it for the behoof of posterity. this kind of thing for us five hundred years ago? What would not some of us give if our ancestors had done THE Rev. F. St. John Thackeray has reprinted in a neat quarto volume the papers on Eton College Library which he recently contributed to our columns. A photograph of the library, and a few additional notes, including one on the Pote collection of Oriental MSS, have been added. It cannot but form a pleasant reminiscence to Etonians past and present. MR. BENTLEY is about to issue a new edition of Miss Ferrier's novels. Marriage is the first instalment, the whole of the omissions in previous reprints being now given. AMONG their forthcoming publications, Dumolard Brothers, of Milan, announce the second volume of De Rossi, La Meteorologia Endogena, with plates and lithographs, forming No. xxxi. of the International Scientific Series; also a study by Prof. Penci, Omero e Dante: Schiller e il Dramma; and a small work, likely to be of use to the tourist as well as the archæologist, Bazzero, Le Armi Antiche nel Museo Patrio di Archeologia in Milano. LORD FITZHARDINGE has given his consent to the very valuable MSS. of John Smythe, the antiquary, written in the early part of the seventeenth century, and the ancient MS. register of the Abbey of St. Augustine, at Bristol, which are preserved in the muniment room at Berkeley Castle, being printed by the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society. They will be edited by Sir John Maclean, F.S.A. Notices to Correspondents. MR. R. POOLE HOOPER writes:-"I am collecting materials for a pedigree of the Hooper family. Will your correspondent the Rev.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-Liver Complaints and Disorders of the Bowels.-It is impossible to exaggerate the extraordinary virtue of this medicine in the treatment of all affections of the liver or irregularities of the bowels. In cases of depraved or superabundant bile these Pills, taken freely, have never been known to fail. In bowel complaints they are equally efficacious, though they should then be taken rather more sparingly, for every medicine in the form of an aperient requires caution when the bowels are disordered, although, at the same time, a gentler or more genial aperient than these Pills in moderate doses has never yet been discovered. If takeu according to the printed instructions, they not only cure the complaint, but improve the whole system. |
