lIISTORY OF WOMAN
IN ENGLAND,
AND HER INFLUENCE ON SOCIETY AND
LITERATURE.
By Miss LAWRANCE,
Author of " Memoirs of the Queens of England from the
12th to the 16th Century."
(EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.)
" Although the study of English history has of late become
sn popular, the progress of female society in England has
never received the attention which its importance demands.
Little has been told us of women in Saxon times; and yet, even
then, there were illustrious Queens and female scholars whose
exertions for the diffusion of knowledge deamnd the gra-
titude of their descendants--and scarcely more is known of
female society during the Norman period, and yet it was at the
bidding of the lady that the poet-fathers of England first sung.
Even during the age of chivalry, many a lady illustrious for her
talents, and interesting from her romantic history, has no re-
cord, save in the seldom-opened pages of the Monkish Chroni-
cles. Descending to more recent times, we find the history of
woman in England linked with the Reformation, and each great
event. To trace the progress of woman in England through
these various phases of her history is the object of the present
work. Beginning at the earliest period, it has been the chief
aim of the writer to collect contemporary information from
every available source, and thus the obsolete code of laws, the
ancient popular tales, the will, the inventory, the legal record,
the legend, and the satire, the testimony of the grave chroni-
cler, and that of the manners-painting trouvere, the letter, and
the di•iry, have all been laid under contribution to throw light
upon a subject as curious and interesting as it is important."

BETTS' PATENT BRANDY.—The unparal-
leled and still increasing sale of this favourite beverage,
has been attended by its natural consequence—the excitement
of envy in every branch of the Spirit trade. Hence, each suc-
ceeding year brings to notice competitors, whose announce-
ments, under fallacious pretences and high sounding titles, urge
upon the public notice articles, whose only distinguishing fea-
ture is their vast inferiolity to the Patent Brandy.
It. is to guard purchasers against the consequences of such
attempts, and for that reason only, that J. T. Betts and Co. are
again induced to state, that the Patent Brandy is manufactured
only at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St.
John-street ; where it may be obtained, pale or coloured, at
Eightpen Shillings per Gallon, of the highest legal strength.
