but John sadly interfered with his
fathers plans for him by falling I'm
love with Lucy Peterson, one of the
blue eyed, light haired, fair complex.
loned maidens before mentioned Lucy
had no fortune in prospect. and. as for a
dowry, there was no one to siyc her
one, for her parents and all here rela-

to receive the alternative of gi,in:, up

The flrst attempt at printing, at

time Benedict Akoop and Ceolfrid,
travelling betwesa Rome and England,
brought in other pure vulgate texts,
which were copied and reproduced in
the monasteries st Wearmouth and
Jarrow, not only for local use, but to
be spread by missionaries in foreign
countries. especially Germany, France
and Switzerland, and, strange as it
may seem, even back to Italy. But
what is stranger still is that these
