s to stand and cover their stations rather than see the ruin of our Protestantism and the enforcement of a slavish life. Mr. Masson snatches at the hint: This is interesting, he says; Milton, it seems, has for some time been practising drill! The City Artillery Ground was near. . . . . Did Milton among others make a habit of going there of mornings? Of this more hereafter. When Mr. Masson returns to the subject he speaks of Milton's all but positive statement . . . . that in the spring of 1642, or a few months before the breaking out of the Civil War, he was in the habit of spending a part of each day in military exercise somewhere not far from his house in Aldersgate Street. What he puts by way of query on page 402 has become downright certainty seventy-nine pages further on. The passage from Milton's tract makes no statement of the kind it pleases Mr. Masson to assume. It is merely a Miltonian way of saying that he took regular exercise, because he believed that moral no less t

Article VIII of the Assembly of 1623-24, Hening, volume I., page 124. declares that the Governor shall not lay any taxes or ympositions upon the colony, their lands or commodities other way than by the authority of the General Assembly, to be levyed and ymployed as the said Assembly shall appoynt. In 1642 they declared freedom of trade to be the blood and life of a community. Ibid, page 223. The cumulus of political grievance in 1676 was stoutly met by what in history has been termed Bacon's Rebellion. In 1718 the payment of a penny-a-letter postage on letters from England was resisted on the ground that Parliament could not levy a tax here without the consent of the General Assembly, which body wrote Governor Spotswood, to the Lords of Trade, rendered the imposition inoperative by decla

ound The bivouac of the dead. Among these heroic men, William Todd Robins bore no inconspicuous part. Born at the home of his maternal grandfather in the county of King and Queen, on the 22d day of November, 1835, he was in his twenty-sixth year when the War between the States began. His father was Agustine Warner Robins, of Gloucester county, Va. He was a lineal decendant of John Robins, who came to Virginia in 1622. This John Robins was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1646. In 1642 there had been patented to him 3,000 acres of land in Gloucester county. The peninsula between the Ware and Severn Rivers is still known as Robins' Neck. Agustine Wrner Robins at one time represented Gloucester in the Legislature. The mother of the subject of this sketch was from King and Queen county, and died at his birth. He was reared at the old Robins homestead, Level Green, in Gloucester, by his grandfather, William Robins. When the first tocsin of war sounded in 1861, William To
