 In the Inns of Chancery a " P" for jPrincipal, associated 

 with the various initials, is often to be noticed. These 

 fine gates arc a charming approach to the sequestered 

 walks and ancient trees. Gray's Inn Gardens have

 to honour them by building there. They have a warm 

 welcome, and good food in cold weather, and seem 

 likely to remain. Looking through the lofty iron 

 gates, the rooks' nests are seen, and the pleasant cawing 

 sound adds greatly to the attraction of the place.
