quite a holy city ; so come and try whether it be not good for 



sore eves. Your account of is interesting, and if the 



results be as good as you say, we will forgive the Puseyism. 

 If by Puseyism be meant zeal and Church principles, I have 

 no objection to them. Here we have two sorts of " Pussey- 

 cats " (as I call them), a good and a bad sort. The latter 

 are for going as near Rome as they can, by imitation, gesture, 

 dress, church ornament, and so forth. These generally end 

 by slipping off on some small pretence, but seldom carry a 

 congregation with them. The sentimental lady religionists 

 are very apt to go, and we can spare them. The former are 

 really zealous in a good cause, like your friend George Herbert, 

 and look to such men as him and Bishop Ken and those 

 worthies of that day as their models. " Against such," saith 

 St. Paul, "there is no law;" but they generally get well 

 abused, and have to suffer for the sins of their Romanizing 

 brethren and romancing sisters. Now I think I have said my 

 say, and shall bid you good-night.

 beautiful country — but because it is historically interesting 

 from Norman times, and its possession gives the title of earl to 

 whoever inherits it ! This is one of the very few instances in 

 England where nobility does not spring from " a creation " to a 

 certain family and heirs, the title being here given by William 

 the Conqueror to whoever should inherit this property. Thus 

 it has passed from one family to another through female 

 heirs, and at present belongs to the Duke of Norfolk, whose 

 eldest son is styled Earl of Arundel. The old castle is partly a 

 ruin, but a modern one has been built round its keep, and in it 

 the duke very often resides. We only visited the ruined part,
