The places which I describe are as familiar to us as turnpikes; they are connected, nevertheless, with some of the most stirring events of former days. They are mementos, which, without the law of primogeniture, would have long ago been lost to us entirely. What traveller by a dusty omnibus has not seen Holland House, that venerable seat of the Copes, the Riches, and the Foxes ? What school-girl is there in Phillimore Place, Kensington, that cannot prate of Addison and his brandy-and-water, his death-bed, the one profaning, the other sanctifying the seclusion of the place ? What British heart is there that does not tremble at the surmise of its possible and oft-reported demolition, and shudder at the mention of new squares, of Fox Terraces, Rich Gardens, Cope Villas, and Addison Cottages ? There is no calculating to what an extent the cupidity of man may not go. Whether this last and great relic of the seventeenth century may notfollow the fortunes of its sister edifice, Campdcn House, and be converted into a school, or may not produce more by its very annihilation than in its integrity; whether it may not become a railroad station, or end in flourishing as a collegiate establishment for young Calvinist ministers, or a nunnery for Protestant sisters. In the days of the Spectator, dreams were patronised by the public. If a man wished to convey admonition to the afflicted, he had only to dream; hence the exquisitely touching dream of Mirza, than which, a finer add...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Recollections of Literary Characters and Celebrated Places, Vol. 2 of 2 Wine and women I forswear My heels and feet I keep from cold, N o marvel then though I be old; I am a willow, not an oak, I chide, but never hurt with stroke. During the course of this long career, the individual of whom we write erected at Basing, where he died, that famous residence, the splendour of which was the pride of England, and even of England's queen. So vast an expense in. Living here was entailed upon his successors, that, according to Camden, they took a certain means of reducing the burden. It was so overpowered, says the chronicler, by its own weight, that they have been forced to pull down a part of it. Of what it was, even in this reduced condition, a survey taken so late as 1698 may afford some slight idea; and from this it appears, that the area of the entire works, including the gardens and entrenchments, occupied fourteen acres and a half.
