the numerous maladies which the advent of summer produces, for, when the warmth of the weather causes free and copious perspirations, the internal organs are very apt to sympathize and act immoderately and irregularly. This is more especially the case with the liver, which important organ appears to sympathize more than any other with atmospheric extremes, and becomes irritated in consequence, either becoming torpid and congested, or else unduly secreting acid bile. which in its turn causes cysentery and diarrhoea. Holloway's Pills correct the disordered liver better than any other remedy, and produce a sense of lightness and elasticity of mind which is wonderfully conducive to mental activity, and indirectly productive of strength of body.

I called upon him at Lambeth, told him what I

questions." But I had forsaken my first love, and
I do not think that in any of my many con-
sultations with Mr. Bruce on the subject of
my new project, it ever occurred to either of
us to revive The Medium; so for some time I
remained loyal to the Cynthia of the minute, and
met the eulogiums of my learned friend on the old
scheme with renewed arguments in favour of the
new one. But as the discussion proceeded, Dr.
Maitland produced so many cogent arguments in

THE STORY OF "NOTES AND QUERIES."

(Continued from p. 2.)

The more I weighed what Dr. Maitland had
urged, the more I seemed impressed with it; but
would he who was, especially in all such matters,
my guide, philosopher, and friend, Mr. Bruce, see it
in the same light, and, if so, would it induce him to
join with me in working out our old idea? He had
returned to London, and was deeply engaged in
those studies which enabled him to throw so much
light upon our history from the time of Elizabeth
to the Commonwealth.

The next man of letters whom I consulted was
When I communicated to him my conversation
one whom I have frequently characterized, and with the learned Librarian of Lambeth, and re-
I believe justly, as being as learned as Selden capitulated all he said in favour of the Medium,
and as witty as Sydney Smith, and whose kindness and of its great utility to all men of letters, he
exceeded, if possible, his learning and his wit-the admitted it as being identical with the views
Rev. Samuel Roffey Maitland, the author of The which he had entertained when our project was
Dark Ages.
He was not the librarian only, but first started. But on my asking him, such being
the friend and trusted counsellor of good Arch- his opinion, whether he felt disposed to renew our
bishop Howley in perilous times. He never held old scheme of endeavouring to establish such a
a piece of church preferment in his life, but, from periodical, he explained, with characteristic frank-
love of letters, gave up his own house at Gloucester, ness, the reasons which prevented his then engaging
and removed himself and his extensive library to in any such undertaking- - reasons more credit-
a house in London, which cost him two hundred able to his nice sense of honour than convincing
pounds a year, in order to act as librarian at Lam-to my judgment. But he added that, if I thought
beth, with an annual salary of forty pounds.
Honoured for ever be the memory of Dr. Maitland!
I spent a few hours with him at Gloucester,
about a twelvemonth before his death. He was
greatly altered, but his old kindliness and pleasant
ways were as fresh as ever. He had a folio vo-
lume before him when I went to him in his library,
but my welcome was scarcely over before he took
from the side of it the last "N. & Q.," and said,
"Here it is, I never miss reading it."

If my readers knew the veneration in which Dr.
Maitland's name is held by those who had the

fit to establish such a journal on my own account,
he would render every assistance in his power.

This was a heavy blow and great discourage-
ment to me; and it was not till after many further
consultations with him and other literary friends
that, acting on his judgment-I have no right to
say in consequence of his advice and after talking
the matter over with others to whose opinions I
attached great weight, I determined to take upon
myself the risk and responsibility of starting "the
little paper" in which literary men could ask and
answer one another's questions.
