Female Complaints.-On the mothers of England devolves much and serious responsibility in securing for their daughters robust health; frequently, alas! thoughtlessly sacrificed by culpable bashfulLess at a particular period of life when all important changes take place in the female constitution, upon the management of which depend future happiness or misery. Holloway's Pills, especially if aided with the Ointment, have the happiest effect in establishing those functions upon the due performance of which health and even life itself depend Mother and daughter may safely use these powerful deobstruent remedies without consulting any one. Universally adopted as the one grand remedy for female complaints, these Pills never fail, never weaken the system, and always bring about the desired result. 1882. Corrected by the Nobility.

THE LIBRARY OF TRINITY COLLEGE, (Continued from p. 82.) Our books from the Leipzig and Memmingen More valuable than any of these, however, is a book of very great rarity, the Philogenia of Ugolini Pisani of Parma, a prose comedy, which first appeared about the middle of the fifteenth century. The work is mentioned by Tiraboschi (Letteratura Italiana, vi. 868, and note, ed. 1807). When and where this edition was printed I am. unable to say. I can hardly assent to Brunet's remark (v. 101) that it belongs "au premier âge de l'imprimerie en Allemagne," but should be disposed to fix it at about 1470, or a little later. Its size can only be described properly as small quarto and large octavo mixed. I use these words, of course, in their strict sense, as having reference to the folding of the paper, as shown by the horizontal or vertical position of the wiremarks: quarto and octavo are words of very elastic meaning as applied to books nowadays. A minute account of the above book is given by Brunet (loc. cit.) from a description furnished him by a private collector, who possessed the only copy known to Brunet. The description, however, swarms with numerous small errors, and has been transplanted, errors and all, to the well-known Trésor of Graesse, who has not acknowledged the source of his quotation, but whose faithful reproduction of his original has betrayed his plagiarism.
