e of Gorgeana, the land round York became as good a city as seals and parchment, a nominal mayor and aldermen, a chancery court and a court-leet, sergeants and white rods, can make of a town of less than three hundred inhabitants and its petty officers. Yet the nature of Gorges was generous, and his piety sincere. He sought pleasure in doing good; fame, by advancing Christianity among the heathen; a durable monument, by erecting houses, villages, and towns. The contemporary and friend of Raleigh, he adhered to schemes in America for almost half a century; and, long after he became convinced of their unproductiveness, was still bent on plans of colonization, at an age when other men are but preparing to die with decorum. Firmly attached to the monarchy, he never disobeyed his king, except that, as a churchman and a Protestant, he refused to serve against the Huguenots.

History of smoking. The first mode of using tobacco in England was smoking, and Sir Walter Raleigh, as is well known, was the first man that introduced the fashion.

The celebrated tobacco box of Sir Walter, used in entertaining his guests, was of a cylindrical form, about seven inches in diameter and twelve inches high; the outside was of gilded leather, and within was a receiver of glass or metal, which would hold about a pound of tobacco; a kind of collar connected the receiver with the case, and on every side the box was piercod with holes for the pipes. The honor of being the first female smoker in England, is due to Queen Elizabeth, who copied the habit from Raleigh, and was in her time imitated by ladies of her court. There was another claimant for this honor in the
