      ing" of it as " The Castle , " as if there were no otker to be named in the same day with it—and I quite agree with them . But , alas ! in

      1815 the old Duke died , and Bernard Edward , the fifteenth Duke , reigned in his stead , and did not in all respects walk in the ways of

      Charles his father . ; . . Therefore the pavements remain where the old Roman laid them

      down . How the "whole villa came to he so buried up—so grown over that it was entirely lost sight of ; actually cropped over with

      turnips , as it was that year in which it was accidentally unearthed ——it is difficult to imagine ; I have my own ideas upon the subject ,

      but it is not necessary to make them known . __ _TV _' elLwell ! the Weald of Sussex is a strange place !

      , I walked back towards Little Hampton , pondering much on what I had seen . I thought of Vespasian and his son Titus , and -wondered

      altered how the since Weald they looked did in us their the days honor . And of pay I thoug ing ht us how a visit times . were And

      much I wondered who it was that lived in that great villa , whose sad remains I had just quitted . The Weald is not the most polished

      place in the world , even now , said I to myself ; but when all this part of England was a Roman province , and Agricola was sent

      here to rule it—what must it have been then ? . Agricola and the rest of those Roman gentry who abode here

      must have had a roughish time of it . Not being quite so anxious to push forward as I was in the

      morning , when I again reached the summit of the hill , and had taken another look at the beautiful country around me , I sat down to rest

      myself on the fine short turf which clothes the top of the downs . For the pedestrian who is botanically given , there is much to interest

      him , for here he may find the yellow horned poppy , the stemless thistlethe Canterbury bell , and the everlasting pea—and they are

      , not to be found- everywhere . But it was growing late even for a July day , and I had had

      walking enough without going out of my way to gather either roses or thistles . So I made the best of my way homewards , well satisfied

      with my _day's excursion , in which I had laid up many _jxleasant recollections for the future .
