ill.
A great great great grandson of Eng
lish antiQuary Boriasse, who was q
friend Of The poet Pope, has been lee
turing in London on California, and
Conway sends to the Cincinnati Com

Among other things he said that in
journeying around the world and visit

other at all so interesting as California.

Spaniards went for gold enc to spread
Christianity, and they did inspire a
