The Blind Historian.

William Hickling Prescott, who war
born at Salem, Mass, on the 4th of
May 1196, was the son of a prosper
Gus lawyer, entered Harvard college in
1911 and graduated in 1914. Early in
his college career he had his left eye
blinded by a piece of bread playfully
thrown at him by fellow student, and
the other eye soon became sympathet-
ically affected. He Travelled in Eng
land, France and Italy and then de-
voted himself to severe study, but 1t
was not till the beginning of 1926 that
he found the work of his life within
the range of Spanish history. Fortu-
nately his means were ample, so that
he was able to procure the services of
assistants and to live amid conditions
of comfort BY constant habit he gain
ed the power of carrying a great deal
In his memory, and after he had revolv-
ed the whole of a chapter in his mind
he quickly transferred it to paper by
means of his stylus and an ingenious
writing case especially constructed for
the blind. He published his History Of
Ferdinand and Isabella" in 1888, which
carried his name across the ocean to
the old world. This was followed by
his History of the Conquest Of Mexi-
co" In 1S43, and of Peru" in 1S47.
These gave him great reputation.

MARY CAMPBELL.
The Lassie who Was the Original of
'HighIand Mary"

'HIEhland Mary"
The original of Highland Mary"
was Mary Campbell, a highland lassle
gomery, with whom Burns became ac-
quainted during his residence at Moss
giel. To her he addressed the lines,
'Will We go to the Indies, my Mary ?"
and many others. In q note to one Of
his poems on Mary, Burns says: after
a pretty long time of the most ardent
reciprocal feeling we met by appoint
ment on the second Sunday of May
in sequestered spot by the banks Of
the Ayr, where we spent a day in TAX
ing farewell before she should en-
bark for the west highlands to arrange
matters among her friends for our pro-
jected change of life. At the close of
the autumn following she crossed the
sea to meet me at Greenock, where
she had scarce landed when she was
seized with a malignant fever, which
hurried my dear girl to her grave be-
fore l could even hear of her illness"
The love which Burns felt for Mary
Campbell appears to have been deeper
than any he ever felt before or after.
Years later, when he was married and
had a family, her memory inspired the
pathetic lines ITO Mary In Heaven"
which breathe the soul of tender mel
