The story of the curfew was but the
unsupported assertion OF one historian
OF the sixteenth century, which was
repeated in prose and poetry till it was
woven into the language. Like many
other legends, there is just a grain Of
truth in it. but its suggested origin is
false. the derivation Of curfew is erro-

were quite different articles Of house

a bridge 1900 feet long united Leucate
