LORD BROUGHAM ON THE BRITISH

CONSTITUTION.

The distinguished Chancellor of Edinburgh Uni-
versity is, it will have been noticed, producing, or
rather reproducing, a work too little knows: upon.
" The British Constitution, its History, Structure,
and Functions." The volume bears the following
dedication to her Majesty—the allusion in the con-
cluding passage being of course to the new patent
of the Brougham peerage, bearing to be issued
" more especially in consideration of Lord Broug-
ham's public services in the diffusion of knowledge,
the spread of education, and abolition of the slave
trade and slavery, and to the two precedents
ed in granting the remainder to other than the
next heirs, being the cases of Lord St. Vincent anti
Lord Nelson :

" To THE QUEEN.
" Madam,—l presume to lay at yonr Majesty's
feet a work, the result of many years' diligent
study, much calm reflection, and a long life's ex-
perience. It professes to record facts, institute
comparisons, draw conclusions, and expound
principles, often too little considered in this
country by those who enjoy the inealtim-
able blessings of our political system ; And
little understood in other countries by thooe
who are endeavouring to naturalise it among them-
selves, and for whose success the wishes of all must
be more hearty than their hopes can be sanguine.
" The subject of the book, "The British Consti-
tution,' has a natural connection with your Majes-
ty's auspicious reign, which is not more adorned by
the domestic virtues of the Sovereign than by the
strictly constitutional exercise of her high office,
redounding to the security of the Crown, the true
glory of the Monarch, and the happiness of the people.
Entirely joining with all my fellow-citizens in
feelings of gratitude towards such a ruler, I have
individually a deep sense of the kindness with
which your Majesty has graciously extended the
honours formerly bestowed, the reasons assigned
for that favour, and the precedents followed in
granting it.
" With these sentiments of humble attachment
and respect, I am, your Majesty's most faithful
subject and most dutiful servant,
"BnononAm.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's rills and Ointment.—
Asthma, Coughs, Colds.—These complaints of the chest
come on with alarming frequency while the weather is nn.
settled. At first the symptoms are readily remediable by
the joint influence of Ibilloway's remarkable medicaments.
While taking the Pills as 'freely as the constitution will
comfortably permit, the Ointment should assiduously be
rubbed, at least twice a day, on the chest, and between the
shoulders, till a thick rash comes out, when the violence
of all symptoms will gradually give way, the breathing
become longer, and the oppression cease. No medicines
are more efficient in chest complaints. None can be used
with equal safety and certainty. Both Pills and Ointment
are accompanied by very clear and simple directions for
WAD g them.
