pensate for the misfortunes they experienced in the dreadful effusion of blood to which their valour had exposed them; in the destruction of many of their best officers; and in the loss of a leader (Sir Bevil Granville) who was at once the confidence of the army, and the boast of his party. His remains were removed to Kilkhampton in Cornwall, and no "stone of memorial" rose on the spot where he fell, till near a century had elapsed from the date of the battle; but Granville had built himself a monument, are perennius, in the hearts of his friends; and the fairest meed of unfortunate valour, the tears of the brave, and lamentations of the good, soothed the shade of the departed hero.

"How sleep the brave, who sink to rest
"By all their country's wishes blest?
"When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
"Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
"She then shall dress a sweeter sod
"Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.

By fairy hands their knell is rung;

By forms unseen their dirge is sung; "There Honour comes, a pilgrim grey, "To bless the turf that wraps their clay; "And Freedom shall awhile repair, "To dwell a weeping hermit there."

The top of Lansdown preserves a dead level for nearly three miles, and commands a view diversified and august, from one point of which the cities of Bath and Bristol are seen at the same time. Once a year this flat displays the humours of a fair, and the gaieties of a race, both sufficiently supplied with company from the neighbouring town of speculation. Half way up the proud acclivity of Lansdown, the spirit of building has carried streets and crescents, which, though but the children of yesterday, assume an exclusive claim to fashion and elegance; and, with mushroom pride, look down disdainfully on the venerable parent city in the bottom, forgetful that it is to the springs in her prolific bosom alone, they are indebted for their original existence, and present importance.
