The Clyde Of Land"

According to an ancient law in Eng.
land, "a hyde of land" included what
could reasonably be cultivated with
one pillow. This applied for scores of
years, but at the dissolution Of the
religious orders in the reign of Henry
VIII. the hyde" or cultivated land
of the abbots of Westminster, all re-
verted to the possession OF the crown.
That marked the gradual decline OF
that means OF measuring land, and
before many years the term fell into
disuse, never to be revived.

than any of the others. 1t was merely

The little fellow gazed at it long
time with all it's nimble particles of
