seeing. It extends over twenty acres, and it is a most interesting sight when all its paved pens are full of live stock. It is well, also, on a mild day not to inspect it from the leeward side. Ever since the days of James I the cattle market has been held in this square.

One is overcome by the amount of "thanking "that is showered upon one's head in England. You go into a shop-you do not find what you want, and you leave the shop amidst exclamations of "Thank you!" set in bows and curtseys. You refuse a dish at a hotel, and the waiter smiles, and observes "Thank you!" Everything you do, from asking the time to ordering dinner, or from buying tickets to dropping your purse and having some one pick it up for you, always all acts are accompanied by the same expression, "Thank you!" So, when we saw on a bus at Norwich, "Unthank Road," we immediately boarded it, and rode to the very end, just for the change, and to unwind our indebtedness.

Norwich is fuller of churches than any other city of its size I have seen. It is possible to stand in a certain little open square, and to look about one and see distinctly six separate churches at once, and all very close by. The church of St. Peter Mancroft is the most interesting. It has

a well-proportioned tower, and many curious things to be seen inside, as well as good ancient communion silver in the treasury. The statue of Sir Thomas Browne stands outside. It is very artistic, and easy in pose. I have seen few" open air memorials "that I like as well. Poor Sir Thomas! I hate to think of the fate of his own remains after all his Urn Burial disquisitions! While excavating, the authorities came upon his bones, and gleefully carried off his skull to a museum! It was not fair play, really.

The description given by Emma Marshall is probably a good pen-portrait of Sir Thomas Browne. "His features were refined and regular, his mouth, shaded by a short moustache, was sweet and benevolent in its curves. He wore his hair in long curls, parted on the forehead, which was wide and open, the outline softened by a few stray locks. The eyebrows were delicately pencilled, and raised above the full eyelids, which gave to the face the expression of inquiry, and searching after truth on all subjects. . . . The eyes were singularly beautiful, of that deep colour which varies in the different lights, and may appear hazel, liquid brown, or dark grey. A small pointed beard, which he stroked habitually while in deep

thought, gave a firmness of contour to the face, as did the setting of a wide linen collar, closely fastened above a vest, over which he generally wore a thick cloak or cape of cloth or velvet.

Matthew Stevenson, in 1673, wrote a poem commemorating the visit of Charles II to Norwich, in which he thus alludes to the honour of knighthood then conferred on the scholarly physician:

66 ... Norwich did what was fit,

Of what with them was possible at least:
(That city does enough that does its best!)

There the king knighted the so famous Browne
Whose worth and learning to the world are known."

A little after this event, Evelyn writes: " My Lord Howard . . . would needs have me go with him to Norwich . . . this, as I could not refuse, I was not hard to be persuaded to, having a desire to see that famous scholar and physician, Dr. T. Browne, the author of Religio Medici and Vulgar Errors, now lately knighted." Sir Thomas' own allusion to the occasion is very modest; he mentions the visit to Norwich of Charles II, adding, "of which I had particular reason to take notice "! One might collect a book of epigrams from the letters of Sir Thomas; such sayings as: "If ava
