Mr. T. Adolphus Trollops is about to publish his
"History of ,the Commonwealth of Floresee," a work

twenty yearn, and his house has been for • long time the
headquarters of the best literary and political society Uwe,

historical collection to be found in soy private library. We
regret to learn, while pealing thee. lines, the death of
Mr. Trollope's wife, who waii better known under her
maiden name of Theo:lode &arrow as the translator of
Niocolini's tragedy Arnoldo di Brescia. She wee also the
author of a series of letters on the recent movement in
Italy, published is the Atheneum about fire years ago, and
since republished under the title of "Social Aspects of
Revolution in Italy." Mn. Trollops wee a great-niece of
the late Judge Garrow.—Geardian.
