THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE MR. J. R. WCuL-
LOCH. t is said that the collection booksofnusdpet
heeto deceasedr fOrnled
by the late Mr. J. R. M'Culloch, the eminent political
economist, has just been sold to Lord Overstone for the
sum of £5,000. One who knows the library well avers that
it was a good bargain for both parties. Mr. M4Culloch had
beenfor thirty years an indefatigable collector ; every book
in his library was a choice, well-selected copy of the best
edition. The library has an additional value through the
fact that Mr. M'Culloch had made a very excellent cata-
logue of the collection, under the title, " A Catalogue of
Books, the property of a Political Economist, with Critical
and Bibliographical Notices, royal Bvo., VIII., pp. 390,
London, 1862." Only a few privileged friends had the
honour of receiving a copy from Mr. M'Culloch, and with
the following injunction-" It is particularly requested that
this book be not lent, nor leave given to make extracts
from it."-Lonclon Review.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.-liorncelpathic practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa
as
being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country,
there were to be obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect ti ituration it receives in the process it passes
thro.•gh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Eppa's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his wo,k, "Food and its
Adulteratio,s," says -"Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles-every ingredient necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee
or tea." Directions-Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined lib., Ob., and llb. labelled packets, and sold by
all grocers, Lonfectioners, and chemists.-[ADVT.]
