trade with the natives A saltworks was erected

JUDGES ADDRESSED AS " YOUR LORD- SHIP." What is the earliest instance of judges being called " My Lord," " Your Lordship " ?

DR. CROLY ON A SERVIAN HERO. Accord- ing to Miss Laura Jewry, the author of ' The Forest and Fortress, a Romance of the Nine- teenth Century ' (London, 1850), her " hero was admirably described by Dr. Croly as one of the bold creations of wild countries and troubled times."

The leading incidents of her tale were taken from Mrs. Kerr's translation of Ranke's ' History of Servia ' (London, 1846). Where did Dr. Croly make that statement ?
