plore Is quite another question. 1t is. at
least, lille To amuse themselves with the
dream OF changing the whole state ofEngland
from what it now is to- what it was centuries
ago. Whatever might have been the comfort
and independence of the yeomcn of that land.
when Abbots were their landlords. when ma
nuiacturcs were unknown and when corn laws
were mthought of, it is not the part of a
practical statesman to indulge this vain scheme
OF rolling back the tide which has flowed for q

out forever the institutions of ancient times.
