THEIR HISTORICAL PRIVILEGE

CHARLOTTE CARMICHAEL STOPES

DIPLOMÉE, EDIN. UNIVERSITY

“I do own for myself that Seneca the Declaimer saith, that I takepleasure in going back to studies of antiquity, and in looking behindme to our grandsires’ better times.”

As saith another poet:

“Antique, buried in rubbish, old and musty,
Which make one verst in customs old and new,
And of Laws, Gods, and Men giving a view,
Render the careful student skilled and trusty.”
Inner Temple Dec. 25, 1610.

John Selden’s Janus Anglorum, translated by Redman Westcott, alias Littleton.
