figures of the old Gray's Inn were
Thomas Cromwell and Lord Bur1eigh.
The gardens where once the gal
lants and grand danes of the town
used to gather, and where Raleigh's
tree was planted, still remain almost
they were, but now there is a high
iron fence around them, the public
is not admitted and the jaded folk
who pass through shabby Gray's Inn
road, look longingly in at the grass
and old trees
Oldest of all these, oldest, some
say, of all the trees in England, is
the veteran catalpa, that came from
ssVirginny-'' In fact. it is SO old now
that it has rotted good deal and
has to be Kept in place by means of
braces The consequential rocks
which still live in the gardens esteem
the tree greatly perching place.
In fact, they have made it such a
permanent headquarters that a barrel
filed with drinking water for them
has been set just beside the cata1pa.
This barrel stands just the spot
where Sir Francis Bacon had a bench
placed for his own enjoyment. The
seat remained there for years after

night it disappeared and thereafter

That American travellers miss the
