OF Lords in his country what in Other countries II may
be, exclueiye branch between which ana INC test Vi

countries In which noblemen and the commoGalty IRE
separated TINT from generation TO generation tey
are within the country but not connected together
in different societies, and incapable Of passing the
barrier which subs-ts between them. Happily taF IN
fercnt is the case with uP The Houae Of Lords IN this
country IL constantly receiving iresh rentorcelents
ard influence from the popular element constantly re-
seying reinl0rccments Of new blood, while on the other
hand IN the second generuson n 81 eVents the younger
of the peerage merged in tie counonalty an1
become aporton Of the general mass OF the community
without any separating barrier.
