NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. x. OCT. 24, 1914.
was issued on Monday, are also known.
JFrom the numbering it will be seen that the
paper commenced on 23 Dec., 1740. Each
issue seen consists of 4 pp., 15 in. by 9 in., the price being l^d. The imprint on the two earlier issues, and from 5 to 19 Oct.,
1741, is " Cirencester : Printed by G. Hill .and J. Davis." On No. 45, 26 Oct., this is changed to " G. Hill and Compy.," and on
No. 66, 22 March, 1741/2, to " Tho. Hill .^uid Comp.," which remains until the last .number seen No. 164, 6 Feb., 1743/4.
How long the paper continued I cannot say, though there is an advertisement in the Gloucester Journal of 1 Sept., 1747, which mentions the " Cirencester Journal,"
- and this may refer to the Flying-Post.
The name of Hill as a printer and book- seller in Cirencester can be traced as late as
1775, when " Mrs. Hill " was the owner of the business. ROLAND AUSTIN.

INSCRIPTIONS IN THE
ANCIEN CIMETIERE, MENTONE.
'Tnis cemetery is situated on a conical hill, At the highest point of which is a small plateau, and below this the hill is cut into five narrow terraces, each terrace having & central path, with generally no more than one interment on each side. The main entrance gives access to the plateau, and to the first terrace, where the interments .are mostly of Catholics. I was told that the tomb of Aubrey Beardsley was here, but failed to find it. Another entrance close to the first, but at a lower level, leads to the second terrace, and at this gate this series of inscriptions begins. I give that of J. R. 'Green (No 19) in full. Nos. 333-6 are within a small enclosure with locked gate, near the main entrance, which was the original Protestant burial-ground. No. 69 is in English except for the three French words given. This list was made in March, 1913.
There is a more modern cemetery with many inscriptions in English.
