PROFESSOR OWEN 
CH. V. 
Other members present were — Mr. Walpole (in 
the chair), Judge Erie, Dr. Travers Twiss, Dr. 
Southey (interesting to look at such a represen- 
tative of the poet, now old and drooping), the 
Editor of the “ Edinburgh Review,” Richmond the 
painter, Newton the discoverer of the Mausoleum. 
The old Bishop of Lichfield sent his resignation ; 
had been a member since 1824. . . . We like our 
clergyman much ; and his curate, who preached 
his first sermon at our little iron church, I also like, 
and am glad we are so well provided in spirituals. 
The vicar has organised evenings for amusing his 
poorer parishioners by “ Readings,” to give which 
gentlemen volunteer. I have consented for Mon- 
day, TQth, and have chosen some quiet chapters 
from Galt’s “Annals of the Parish ” to bemn with. 
o 
I may give a bit of Milton or of Tennyson before 
I have done with them.’
