The attention of our readers is directed to the
following communication addressed to Messrs. Rowland
and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London :—Sir,-1 take the
liberty of addressing you a few lines. Some years since a
very intimate friend of mine had a serious fit of illness,
and when she began to recover, her hair which was beau-
tiful, came off, leaving large patches all over the head.
After trying various things as restorers, without any benefit,
your Oil was recommended, and she persevered in rubbin,,
it in daily, using two bottles in four weeks, at the end of
which time her hair came again ; and in a shot time be-
came more thick and beautiful than before, and lost its
only fault, a certain degree of harshness. She continued to
use the Macassar Oil moderately up to the time I last saw
her, kind though most of her family were very grey, she
had not one grey hair, which she entirely attributed to the
constant use of the Oil. This Lady recommended it to
rne. In consequence of head-aches and trials of mind,
my hair began to turn grey ; I persevered in the use of the
Oil, and am happy to say it has quite redeemed my hair.
You are at liberty to publish this letter if you please, with
my ieitia2s only, and any one may have my name and ad-
dress, by going to your house. I am, Sir, your obedient
servant. F. H. H —Rowland's Macassar Oil prevents hair
from falling off, or turning grey ; changes grey hair to its
original colour, frees from scurf and dandriff; and makes
it beautifully soft and curly.—Ask for " Rowland's Ma-
cassar Oil." The lowest price is 3s. 6d.—the next price
is 75.-10 s. 6d. and 21s. per bottle.
iVIR. ROBY'S " POPULAR TRADITIONS OF
E NOLA ND."—The lovers of romantic fiction and legendary
lore, will welcome with delight Mr. Roby's attractive
volumes just published, which present us with a series of
national traditions, equally valuable whether considered as
explanatory of the manners and customs of our ancestors,
or elucidatory of their extraordinary superstitions. The
interest and variety of the volumes may be easily estimated
from a perusal of the following titles of the principal
stories i—Clitheroe Castle, or the Last of the Lacies—
The Goblin Builders—Mab's Cross—The Prior of Burs-
cough—The Eagle and Child—. The Black Knight of
Ashton—The Grey Man of the Wood : or the Secret
diner—The Fairies' Chapel—The Peel of Fouldry—The
Abbot of Whalley—George Marsh, the Martyr—Dr. Dee,
the Astrologer—The Seer—The Earl of Tyrone—Ho h-
ton Tower—The Lancashire Witches_Siege • f g
Latham
—Windleshaw Abbey—The Dule upo' Dun—Clegg Hall
—George Fox—Raven Castle—The Demon of the Well
—The Mermaid of Merlin Meer—The Sand—The Kiag
and the Cliff—The Dead Man's Hand—The Lost Farm,
or the Haunted Casket—The Maid's Stratagem, or the
Captive Lover—The Skull House—Rivington Pike, or
the Spectre Horseman. The volumes, we should observe,
are profusely embellished with woodcuts illustrative of the
various subjects.
The believer; in cabalistic prognostications will
be interested with the following calculation :—lf the year
1774 (death of Louis XV.) be taken, and its ciphers be
successively added to the figure in the unit's place of that
number, the year 1792 will be obtained (death of Louis
XVI.) If 1794 (death of Robespierre) betaken, and the
same operations repeated, it will give 1815 (final fall of Na.
poleon); the same method applied to that year gives 1830
(fall of Charles X ) ; and the same operation with the
ciphers of 1830 gives IS3O (fall of the sun and end of the
world) I ! l—Galignani.
A large portion of the new and magnificent Re-
form Club House, in Pall-mall (the whole building being
so far advanced towards completion) will, we understand,
be opened for the reception of members of the said Club
on the 15th January next.
