HOLLOWAY'S PILLS

and OINTMENT.

Dyspepsia, Jaundice.-These complaints are the results of a

disordered liver, which secretes bile in quality or quantity incapable

of digesting food. Digestion requires a free flow of healthy bile, to

insure which Holloway's Pills and Ointment have long been famous,

far eclipsing every other medicine. Food, irregularity of living,

climates, and other causes are constantly throwing the liver into

disorder; but that important organ can, under all circumstances, soon

be regulated and healthily adjusted by Holloway's Pills and Ointment,

which act directly upon its vital secretion. The Ointment rubbed on

the skin penetrates immediately to the liver, whose blood and nerves

it rectifies. One trial is all that is needed; a cure will soon follow.

BATTLE OF THE BOYNE.

(See 7th 8. x. 149, 229, 292, 454.)
An exceedingly interesting and valuable work
has just been published, entitled 'A Jacobite
Narrative of the War in Ireland,* 1688-1691,'
edited by the eminent compiler of Irish MSS.,
John T. Gilbert, Esq., F.S.A., M.R.I.A., late
Secretary of the Public Record Office of Ireland,
which I would recommend for the perusal of
WILLIAM OF ORANGE. Mr. Gilbert, in his preface
(p. vii), says :-

"The narrative supplies accurate information, not else-
where accessible, on affairs of England and Ireland at
the period of the Revolution of 1688, and in relation to
persons engaged in civil transactions and military
operations of the time."

In the appendix (pp. 201–241) will be found a

This volume is printed, Mr. Gilbert says, from one
of two MSS., the author, according to tradition, being a
distinguished lawyer of the house of Plunket. One copy
has been long in the possession of the Plunkets, Earls of
Fingall in the peerage of Ireland. The second copy was
early in the last century acquired by Thomas Carte, with
whose collection this MS, came to the Bodleian Library,
Oxford, where it is now preserved, entitled "A Light to
the Blind whereby they may see the dethronement of
James the Second, King of England: with a brief narra-
tive of his War in Ireland; and of the war between the
Emperor and the King of France for the crown of Spain.

Anno 1711."

-

"The page on which the roll of this regiment was
drawn out has been torn from the present army list,
and no clue has been discovered to ascertain its
strength."

Also the regiment of Col. Edmund O'Reilly,
which Mr. D'Alton tells us at p. 921 "is wholly
unofficered on the present list," is given in extenso
at pp. 230, 231. And then the regiment of Col.
Henry FitzJames, styled the Lord Grand Prior
(youngest son of King James II. by his mistress
Arabella Churchill, sister of the great Duke of
Marlborough), at p. 229 in the narrative is fuller
in its list of officers, including Capt. MaGauran
(McGauran, McGovern, or McGowran), not in-
cluded by Mr. D'Alton in his at p. 476. On the
other hand, this venerable gentleman's list at p. 774
gives the names of the officers of Col. Oliver
O'Gara's regiment, and includes a Capt. Bryan
McGowran and a Lieut. Daniel McGowran,
whereas the narrative at p. 227 records the
Regiment d'Ogara blank (for further particulars
concerning these gallant regiments after the close
of the war in Ireland see O'Callaghan's History
of the Irish Brigades in the Service of France,'
1870); likewise that of Col. Daniel O'Donovan's
regiment at p. 229, which Mr. D'Alton at p. 885
gives fully. The latter gentleman, at p. 792, under
the heading of "Captain Bryan MacGowran,'t

* I have not seen the second edition, in two volumes,
be fuller, having been taken, Mr. D'Alton states, from
but the names of the officers of the regiments would not
"a MS. preserved in the MSS. of Trinity College, Dublin,
where it is classed F. 1, 14." So that it would be the
historical and genealogical references which increased

its bulk.

This is the officer referred to by Major Edward
McGauran, in his 'Memoirs,' London, 1786, as Col. Bryan
McGauran, to whom he says King James II. restored
his grandfather's estates "for the assistance he afforded
that monarch during the stand he made in Ireland
against King William, The revolution which succeeded
prevented my grandfather from reaping any benefit from
James's gracious intentions, and he had the mortification
to see the estates which had just been granted to him
bestowed by William on those who had favoured his
cause." "The lands referred to by Mr. D'Alton were con-
fiscated owing to the rising in 1641, in which the clan
took such a prominent part. See Prendergast's 'Crom-
wellian Settlement of Ireland,' September 26, 1653, pub-
lished in 1865, with map showing the county of Cavan

*

gives an historical sketch of the sept to which he belonged, and of which he was such a distinguished scion, and direct in descent from the last Rig Tuath, tribe king or chieftain, viz., Felim McGauran,† A.D. 1608-14. Mr. D'Alton observes: "Phelimy Magowran, however, and others of the sept obtained from the king some reserved portions within Tullagbaw (Tullyhaw) to hold on the conditions of the plantation, but even these scanty concessions were, early in the reign of Charles the First, subjected to searching and hostile inquisitions,"

which can certainly be inferred from the "Remonstrance from County of Cavan to Lord Justices and Council at Dublin," November 6, 1641, vide Gilbert's History of Affairs in Ireland, 1641-1652,' published in 1879 (State Papers, Ireland, 1641, Public Record Office, London), vol. i. i. appendix, pp. 364, 365; see also vol. i. ii. appendix, pp. 450, 460, "Remonstrance of Irish of Ulster," setting forth that it was for the protection of their faith and their ancient estates, from which they had been ejected and subjected to a tyrannical government for forty years past without hope of relief or redress, and for

"His Majesty's royal power, honour, prerogative, estate, revenue, and rights, invaded upon, by the Puritan faction in England,"

that they had taken up arms. In vol. i. ii. appendix, aforesaid, pp. 461-464, is given the "Ulster Landowners in Revolt, 1641-1642" (Carte Papers, vol. ii. p. 189). At p. 463§ are recited the chiefs of the clan McGauran (McGovern or McGawran) who took part in the rising, viz., "Coll McGaw ran, Gildernen McGawran, Turlough Oge McGaw ran, Donnell Oge McGawran, Philonye McGaw

ran."

In Davies's 'Poems,' this illustrious patriot, in a note in the appendix, gives a description of the famous battle of Benburb, fought A.D. 1646, wherein he states that "some fighting men were also brought by MacGauran of Templeport." See also Gilbert's History of Affairs in Ireland,' aforesaid, vol. iii. pp. 203-208, for another account of this victory gained by the Irish chieftains. We marked C, with a note stating that it was given as additional security to the army, and particular reference is made therein at pp. 23, 25. But in the Parliament of James II. an Act was passed restoring the lands held previous to October 22, 1641, but not those confiscated by James I. previous to the plantation of Ulster, A.D. 1608. See pp. 248-50 in the narrative above mentioned. Michael Magauran, Esq., P.L.G., now resides in one of the ancestral homes in Glan; he is a nephew of the last "King of Glan."

*Tuath, i.e. territory (of Tullyhaw, co. Cavan). See my article on Gavelkind,' 8th S. i. 125, 298. Plantation of Ulster.

See pp. 410, 494, 496, where Charles MacGauran and Daniel MacGauran appear to have been the head chiefs of their sept and signed the articles of agreement with the O'Reilly chiefs and others allowing the English garrison quarter and safe conduct on the surrender of the castles of Kylagh and Crohan on June 4, 1642.

find in the "Muster of Ulster Horse and Foot at Clonmel, January, 1649-50," in the above work, vol. ii. appendix, pp. 503, 504, that in "Collonell Phillip McHugh O'Reilly's regiment there was a Captaine Phillip Gawne, his company consisting 2 Corporalls, 16 Muskettees, 19 pick (men) and 2 of Captain, Lieutenant, Ensigne, 2 Sargents, one Drume, vnarmed present, and 7 sicke."

I thought it advisable to refer to these other works by Mr. Gilbert, so that WILLIAM OF ORANGE I could read up the cause of the rising of 1688, which really had its foundation some eighty years previously. There are seven other volumes, entitled History of the Irish Confederation and the War in Ireland, 1641-1643,' published in 1882-1891, issued by the same gentleman, which should also be carefully digested, and then one can judge pretty accurately of statements made by authors of Irish history when dealing with these highly important epochs. In conclusion, I may remark that it was owing to making a critical examination of Mr. D'Alton's and Mr. Gilbert's respective army lists that I discovered the names of the gentlemen of my sept, the indexes not mentioning them.

DANTEIANA.

(See 8th S. i. 4, 113.)

The alacrity with which several esteemed contributors to N. & Q.' have responded to my suggestion encourages me to keep to my promise to supply short studies of the 'Inferno' according as my reading progressed. But, though premature so far as my own course is concerned, let me first refer to the difficulty raised by MR. ARMSTRONG (8th S. i. 274) on Inferno,' xix. 16-21. The following excerpts on the passage may be of use to my Danteian confrère. Aroux (ed. 1856) writes:

"Il y a incontestablement une signification sectaire dont le sens nous échappe dans cette allusion au baptistère de Florence. Quant à l'anecdote relatée par tous les commentateurs sur cet enfant que Dante avait arraché à la mort en brisant la pierre, nous n'en croyons pas un mot, et pour cause, dans l'acception ordinaire que la phrase littérale comporte. Il semble que jusqu'ici nous sommes suffisament autorisé à ne pas prendre les mots au pied de la lettre."

It would seem from these Fichteian sentences of the French editor and translator that, to his mind, there could be no question at all of wood in the case, but of stone only.

Lord Vernon amplifies the lines in prose thus. The italics are his :

"Questi fori non mi parén-parevano-meno ampi nė maggiori, che quei pozzetti che sono intorno alla fonte nel mio bel San Giovanni-nel Battisterio di San Giovanni a Firenze, ore fu battezato Dante-fatti per luogo da
