HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.

Sure Relief.-The weak and enervated suffer severely from nervous affections when storms or atmospheric disturbances prevail. Neuralgia, gouty pangs, and rheumatic rains, very distressing to a delicate system, may be readily removed by rubbing this Ointment upon the affected and adjacent parts after they have been fomented with warm water. The Pil's taken occasionally in the doses prescribed by the instructions, keep the digestion in order, excite a free flow of healthy bile, and regenerate the impoverished blood with richer materials, resulting from thoroughly assimilated food, wanting which, the strongest must inevitably soon sink into feebleness, and the delicate find it difficult to maintain existence. Holloway's Ointment and Pills are infallible remedies.

Contents.-Curious Old Records concerning Cambridgeshire, Cheshire Cornwall, and Cumberland-Account of the Old Rivers, Streams Wells, and Conduits of London in the Time of King Charles the Second -Superstition and Folk-lore-Antiquarian Natural History-Shake speare's Knowledge of Birds and Falconry-The Impressive Teachings of King Lear-Lord Bacon's Intellectual Attainments, &c.

copy; but, inasmuch as many of the shields which were perfectly distinct even when copied in 1876 are altered both in treatment and colour in the Harleian copy, it is doubtful whether we can rely on that authority with any certainty. The date of the original compilation of the roll is nearly settled by the appearance of the coat of Prince Alphonso (No. 26), elder brother of Edward II., who, according to Sandford, died August 19, 1284, in his eleventh year. I have contented myself with merely describing the state of the roll as I copied it in facsimile (with the aid of a powerful

THE CAMDEN ROLL.

The following is a copy of an ancient parchment roll of arms in colour, containing 270 shields, which I fancy, from the coincidence of names, must be either the original or a very early copy of the roll known as the Camden Roll.

The roll, of which an exact description is here given, was copied by me in 1876 from the MS. in the Department of MSS., British Museum, where it figures in the Catalogue as Cottonian Roll xv. 8. It consists of forty-five rows of six shields painted on a long narrow strip of parchment, and attached to each shield is the name of the bearer. On the back of the parchment many of the shields are described in blazon, which I have appended to my own description of the painted shields, and which in some instances will be found of use in filling up deficiencies where the shields have been either wholly or partly defaced by exposure or other

causes.

From the fact that several shields have certainly at no period had names attached, and that in some cases the artist has been uncertain of the correct drawing of the shield, I assume that this, although an ancient copy, is, nevertheless, not the original document. On comparison with the copy tricked in Harl. MS. 6137, we find many coats preserved there which have totally disappeared in the painted

I may add, lastly, that the peculiarities of drawing in this roll are as follows:-1. The label is always of five pendants; 2. Mullets are always of six points; 3. Vair is of the ancient undy form; 4. The eagle is drawn without legs and vol abaissé.
