THE COMPLEXION.
GOWLAND'S LOTION removes all Im•
purities and Diseolourations of the Skin, and promptly
re-establishes a clear and healthy tone of surface, whilst its
sustaining properties in obviating the effects of variable tem-
perature upon the Tint of the Complexion is verified by the
continued freshness usually limited to the earlier periods of
personal attraction. " ROBERT SHAW, London," is in
white letters on the Government Stamp. Prices 2s. 9d.,
ss. 6d. ; quart 4, Bs. 6d. Sold by all Perfumers and Medi-
cine Venders. —as

DIARY AND LETTERS OF MADAME D'AR-
BLAY.—This is the most charming book that has appeared for
a long while. The memoirs of the authoress of " Evelina,"
written in the truth-telling narrative, and delightfully easy style
which is so fascinating in that standard novel of the old school,
cannot fail to be deeply interesting to all admirers of the works
of Madame D'Arblay, better known as Miss Burney. They
are chiefly composed of transcripts from the journals of Miss
Burney, from the time she commenced her secret authorship,
which exhibit the progress of her thoughts and actions, written
in the same manner as " Evelina" itself. It is a perfect. ro-
mance of real life, in which some of the most distinguished
literary characters of the last century figure conspicuously. We
cannot speak too much in praise of this delightful work, which
every one must read.—Courier.
