II Is curious fact that there are no

left on Garth. He had two sous, one Of whom
Don Diego, rose to distinction as an admiral
and the other, Fernando, as a scholar. Fer
pnndo was great traveller. He not nuiJ
thrice visited America, but subsequently
traversed the whole Of Europe, a7d aim ost
cyery accessible portion Of Asia aud Africa.
He appears 10 have hetn a profound scholar
and thoroughly good man. In bis Will he
stipulated that his library ,conrainlng twenty
thousand volumes. which he gave To the
Cathedral Of Seville, should be free TO the
people, and 1t IL so to this day. From books
In this collection the late Washington Irving
obtained considerable portion Of the infor-

Was founded. The following quaint 7pItaph
