. Yesterday Cath. and I accompanied Charles on his way to London as far as Keston Common, and walked home and enjoyed the gorse, which was just coming into full blaze and very sweet, and through Holwood. We sent the maids to a concert at Bromley on Monday, and it has done Brodie such a wonderful deal of good that if she could but get to a play or two, I think it would cure her. There have been many breezes in that apartment, but I have told Brodie that I shall not keep A. if she is pert to her, and

enquiries on any subject that interested him. In 1842, as soon as he was settled at Down, he began a series of observations on a foot-path and in his fields, that continued with intermissions during his whole life, and he extended his inquiries from time to time to the neighbouring parks of Knole and Holwood. In 1844 we find him making a communication to the Gardener's Chronicle on the subject. About 1870, his attention to the question was stimulated by the circumstance that his niece (Miss L. Wedgwood

, and they did not much enjoy their stay. We came home on Feb. 15, before the great snow-fall of that year had melted. The road in the deep cutting between Holwood and Down had been cut out, and the wreaths of the snowdrifts were a wonderful and beautiful sight. The children could walk on the snow, which was level with the top of the iron railings round the lawn. In September, 1855, my mother went with my father to the British Association at Glasgow.

before this fortunate conclusion, I had at my father's bidding taken steps to obtain a summons against X. I remember thinking what a fool I should look when cross-examined before the magistrates. Another circumstance is impressed on my mind. The affair occurred in that remarkable October in which the trees were greatly injured by a snowstorm, and as I drove in a dog-cart through Holwood Park in search of the summons, I thought, as the trees cracked like pistols, that it was hardly worth while

We sallied forth armed with billhooks, cutting new walks from one large tree to another, through the thickets of the Holwood copses. Another contemporary writer has also left us a picture of this side of Pitt's life, for in the Diary and Correspondence of the Right Hon. George Rose we read

Clapham Common. Pitt had an exquisite sense of the beauties of the country, we read in one account of his Kentish home; he delighted in the prospects of Holwood, ranging as they do over a wide tract of wood and plains of Kent and Surrey, embracing almost all the amenities of the scenery water excepted of ourhome counties. To-day this view from the higher parts of the estate is little altered as the eye sweeps over the delightful prospect towards Farnborough and Downe. Both these places are associated

history is about the year 1100, as will presently appear; but we can date some reasonable suppositions earlier than that. So far as we are aware, no remains of very early antiquity have been found within the present parish; the more is the pity. It is true that not far outside the western boundary, within the park of Holwood at Keston, there is a fine early earthwork. Like others of its kind it has in the past been attributed to the Romans and is called Casar's Camp; no doubt the Romans made
