'Talkimg about oíd books and papers," said Judge Newkirk the otber iday, '"here is a paper that may interest you as a newspaper man," and ho handed over a copy of the Ixndon Times of Ocfc. 14, 1783. It is an original copy, not ai fac similie. It contatos an account of tJhse battle of Trafalgar, Liord Nelson's victiory ; also oí the Great Uebellion io Ireland, and other events of the perilod. It is a gemidme curiosity in its way. The copy was giiven. the the Judge eome nine years ago, by a Jew who carne from Cape Colony, South África, and whose brother was a coülectoT of curios ia Liverpool, Iondan, tete. Thea the Judge brought out a book entltled "Memoii-s oí What Past in Christendom ïrom the War Begua in 1672, to the Peace Ooncluded 1679.'' The book was puiblis'hed in "Ixmdon : Printed by K. R. for Eic. Chttwell, at the Rose and Crown In St. Paui's Churchyard. MDCXCII." The book Is evidently ki the original binding and remjarkatoly well preserved. On the tdtle page is what is no floubt the autograpli of Sir Wm. Temple, a man whio was very jjromínient in England at that period. Both of these old relies are of much valué.
