A copy sent post free to any address in Great Britain or America on receipt of Twenty-one Shillings, by WOODALL and VENABLES, Publishers, Oswestry. From The Globe, March 29, 1879. Messrs. Woodall and Venables of Oswestry, have issued a magnificent edition of the History of the Gwydir Fanily-a record that throws much light on the state of society in North Wales in the 15th and the earlierjpart of the 16th centuries. From The Academy, Apr. 5. -> v,2Vyn.ne'3 History of the Gwydir Family stands alone Pditfnng Th»nly f;imi)y history which has reached a fourth anecdotes whirl? contains many quaint and interesting avMdlL?tre not t0 be found elsewhere, and which E-s of the From the Chester Courant March 2« Thef The mos? vX^Ly con ftr^ted' wUI undoubtedly form From the Daily Ne,0St Jan 22 The thanks of antiquaries and historical students are due t Mr. Askew Robertsi of Osstry, for his handsome reprint, with many valuable aaciitions (Oswestry: Woodall and Venables), of the old memoir of the G wydir kmily.writtenby Sir John Wynne in the time of James II., and first published in 1770. This narrative compri^ the only k„own a^0™j the state of society in North Wales m the fifteenth and the earlier part of the sixteenth centu es and its little incidental sketches of the wild, lavless condition of the country, and of c the feuds of the different fnimhes who in certain districts were always contending for mastery, are curiously significant. The volume is accompanied by pedigrees, and by several interesting old portraits and views reproduced in facsimile. From Archceologia Carnbrensis, April. From these few, out of many instances, it will easily be seen what a fund of information may be found here, on the social condition of North Wales at the period treated of. Indeed we know of no other book to compare with it in this respect. The present edition, moreover, is enriched with a large number of illustrative notes, which render it as complete as can be well desired. This is mainly due to Mr. W. W. E. Wynne, of Peniarth, who, not only "has collated his own copy of Miss Llwyd's edition with the Brogyntyn, Wynnstay, and Peniarth MSS., and added a very large collection of dates from contem- porary records in London," thus verifying and illustrating the contents, but placed the whole afc the service of Mr. Askew Roberts, whom we congratulate very cordially on the completion of his excellent edition. 1 From the North Wales Guardian, Mar. 22. The work is indeed an admirable production. The antimii rian will find in it much to admire, the student of Welshhistorv- plen ty of valuable information of the date of which it treats and the reading public much to interest and to wonder at w. rrITTEhTON B I-Sj L POSTER, PORTMADOC BUSINESS ADDRESSES. -t.v"V'V"'vWV' N° MISTAKE.

A RID E TO KHIVA. BY CAPTAIN FRED BURNABY, Royal Horse Guards. Page 13 says :—" Two pairs of boots lined with fur were also taken; and for physic-with which it is as well to be supplied when travelling in out-of-the-way places-some quinine and Cockle's pills, the latter a most invaluable medicine, and one which I have used on the natives of Central Africa with the greatest possible success. In fact, the marvellous effects produced upon the mind and body of an Arab Sheik, who was impervious to all native lm medicines, when I administered to him five COCKLE'S PILLS will never fade from my memory; and a friend of mine, who passed through the same district many months after- wards, informed me that my fame as a medicine man' had not died out, but that the marvellous cure was even then a theme of conversation in the bazaar." SEE BURNABY'S RIDE TO KHIVA, page 13. A GOOD FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST, with a prudent use, has saved many a life and yet we think the idea may be improved upon, and reduced to a more simple form. Take some good compound, such as COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS and we find that the desired end may be obtained with- out scales and weights, or little mysterious compartments or enchanted bottles, with crystal stoppers. Others might be used, but • COCKLE'S PILLS, as tested by many thousands of persons, and found to answer their purpose so well, may be set down as the best. —Observer.
