than anywhere, you need the help or
selection and restraint. If you give
yourself up to the vergers they will tell
you all about the royal tOmbs. When
they have left you, think for moment
of my idea. Remember that the Abb
hey has been three things: First, a
monastery; next, the royal church and
the tomb of many kings; and. then. the
grave Of great men. AS to the first,
do not leave till you have seen the
cloisters, the chapter house, the under
croft and the chapel of the Pyx, the
little cloister-and, If you are there on
Saturday, the hall Of Westminster
school, which was the dormitory Of the
monks. These things illustrate the
daily monastic life and are without
question the most picturesque thing
remaining Of the middle ages. AS to
the next, the vergers will have shown
you the coronation seat, and the tOmbs
of the great kings, to that Of Henry V
who fought at Agincourt. AS to the
third, counsel you to see Poets Cor
ner-the south TRANSCRIPTION its re-
minders Of the men who have knit the
empire together In the poetry of a COM
mon speech.
What to See in the Tower.
You will go to the Tower. Here,
again, remember that the Tower has
been three things: fortress, royal
palace and prison. The White Tow
er is the oldest complete building in
London. 1T was the keep built by the
Conqueror to overawe the city. It
never was of the city, and bit of the
Roman wall here shows how the outer
boundary of the earlier city was over
run. See the Traitors gate, by which
prisoners entered the Tower and SO
few left It; the site Of the headsman's

While in the city / should suggest
two other things at least to see-the
Guildhall and st. Bartholomew

that has been for 800 years the court of
justice, the meeting place Of the cor
poration and the scene Of historic
feasts.
/ should ignore the houses of parlia-
ment, except as to the outside, but do
not let the opinions Of certain critics
rob you of a right appreciation of this
modern work. See Westminster hall,
however, if you can, as the ancient
court of justice, and for it's magnificent
timber roof.
There yet remain, of the major in
situations, st. Paul's and the National
gallery. They are more easy to deal
with than Westminster or the Tower.
st. Paul's has no secrets as Westmins-
ter has. 1t is revealed at one view. To
have seen it from outside is to carry
the memory of its huge bulk and form
forever, and in the main that is true
of it internally, though few minutes
can be spared for the tombs of Nelson,
Wellington, Lord Roberts and other
great soldiers. The National gallery,

Robert was an honor to the force.

cooks, nor did he fall asleep on duty.
he was ambitious and yearned for the
