ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE.

The first meeting of this society for the present '6'-
sion was held on Wednesday, Nev. 14 •
, Sir John p.
Buileau, Bart., V.P., in the chair.
Mr. HOGG, in presenting a copy of Dr. Dietrich's
" Z Sidonische Inscbriften," recently published, gave
a viva voce resume of what has been done in America, in
Germany, in France, And by Dr. Benisch in England,
with regard to the interpretation of the ancient Phceni-
clan inscription on the royal sarcophagus found in
January last at Sidon. From the former it appeared
that the inscription related to the King of the Sidonians,
named Ashmonezer, but by the last he is called Ashmo-
nedo. The inscription dates from the 14th year of the
reign of that king (11•Iik), and prohibits, in strong terms,
any one from opening the sarcophagus, or from disturb-
ing the remains depo-dted in it. It expressly says there
was no treasure placed therein, and it mentions a temple
of Baal, and another of Ashtaroth. The name of Arnalh-
toreth, the queen and priestess of Ashtarotb, is likewise
recorded in it. The Due de Luynes has been able to
Procure this noble sarcophagus itself, and has presented
it to the 'French Government for the Museum of the
Lonvre.

could not take sufdcient food to keep up my strength, and /
often felt great weakness in my legs. I have been continually
taking medicine, but found it only weakens the stomach more.
I have taken the Revalenta Food for the last ten days, and
beg to tender to you my most grateful thanks for your kind

far beyond my expectation. The pain at the pit of the sto-

effects on the bowels have also been very favourable. I feel
