From Althorp he visited Brington, the ancestral home of the Washingtons; and a year later he received from the earl copies of the Washington memorial stones, and gave them to chusetts. They were placed in the State House. He gave a full account of the stones in a letter to Jared Sparks, Nov. 22, 1860.

ord Fitzwilliam in the long gallery. He received us with great kindness, and presented us to Lord Spencer, lately the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and as Honest Althorp, the leader of Lord Grey's administration in the House of Commons. Third Earl Spencer. He had arrived about an hour before us, and was still standing before ththolic priest; and yet is a man of much talent and learning, who greatly distinguished himself at Cambridge. At the end of our talk he invited us to visit him at Althorp, any time after December 1, which is the earliest period he can be there himself, and I was very sorry to be obliged to decline. I should revel in that magnificehe family race-horses. . . . In the evening we looked over a good many of Lord Fitzwilliam's curious black-letter books, and Lord Spencer told us so much about Althorp, that I was very glad to promise to make him a visit there on our return from the Continent. Dr. Dundas read the evening service at ten o'clock. The chapel was v

Althorp, May 19.—The approach to Althorp is through a fine, rich, Althorp is through a fine, rich, and broken country, and the moment we had passed the porter's lodge we felt the quietness and comfortable repose that come ovwhere they still possess estates, and that they removed to Althorp in the time of Henry VII . . . . It is the fashion, he addntertained here on their way to London in 1603. Indeed, Althorp has always been poetic ground; . . . . but, as Gibbon saysnd go to bed, for it was the last evening we could give to Althorp, where we certainly have been most kindly received, and wh end to everything but death. On this Sunday passed at Althorp, Mr. Ticknor wrote the following letter:— To Missere.

His village, the school-house, the house of his agent, and the parsonage, are all as neat and as comfortable as anything in the kingdom; the two last having, besides, a little air of refinement and elegance. Everything, indeed, betokens knowledge and kindness. His own house is of stone, a hundred feet square, built in the Italian fashion round a court. But this court—as you will remember at Althorp—he has covered over, and made it into a superb music-room, running up through two stories, and about forty-five feet by thirty-five square, the walls of which he is now having painted with subjects from the local history of Northumberland, beginning with the building of the Roman wall. Lady Trevelyan is painting the spaces between the pictures with native plants, and doing it in oils and from nature. It is already a beautiful room. One side of the house, looking out upon the lawn and f
