Did they realize how completely he transformed our national life and our national char- acter? It was perfectly true that the t rival magician, Sir Walter Bceott, ga a sense more for Scotland than urns did, because he enveloped bids whole country in a haze of ro- magoe which could not die away; but | t had never dwelt in the hearts of | the Scottish people as Burns had done.

On 4 desolate hilliop in Yorkshire, near Brough, is the Tan Hill Inn, the highest in England. This house is 1,787 fee} sbove sea level. Dick Turpin was the Bon of the landlord of the Orown at Hamps Essex, a al existent hostelry. Mr. | Harper gives his real history, and con- founds Harrison Ainsworth with this disconcerting epitaph: '""The sorriest, the most sordid and absolutely com- | monplace scoundrel that waf ever raised to so undeserved a pedestal.' The Green Man, which stands on the orest of Putney Hill, sheltered many desperate and despicable char- acters, and the house still keeps a stout, bolt-studded door as a relic of its "good old timep.* Historic Hostelry. Among the houses with historic as- sociations are the Crown and Treaty at Uxbridge, where the Commission- ers of King and Parliament vainly sought for peace in 1645; the Baracen's Head Bouthwell, where Byron hob- nobbed at the bar, and where Charles I dined with the 8Bcotch Commission- ers and gave himself into thet hands; the Red Lion et High Wycombe, where Disraeli made his first politi- cal speech; the Greyhound, at Thame, where John Hampden came mortally wounded, prone upon his horses neck; the Red Lion, Hillingdon; where the Merry Monarch lay the i first night of his distracted wander throngh England---and many more which Mr. Harper specifies.
