Drake's Duster , Sir Richard Sutton's Dryden , the Duke of Rutland's Senator , Duke of Rutland's Weathergage , the Earl of Coventry's Rambler , Mr. E. P. Rawnsley's Freeman , and the Grafton Woodman . Breeding Foxhounds is one of the most fascinating of all the pleasures of animal culture, as the above list, so full of extreme merit, can be traced for nearly a hundred and thirty years.
Crabbe, who was as keen an observer of rural scenes, had a much better faculty of verse; indeed, he had a faculty of language so large that it carried him beyond the real drift of his stories. I do not know the fact, indeed; but I think, that, notwithstanding the Duke of Rutland's patronage, Mr. Crabbe must have written inordinately long sermons.
Young Rutland's brother, afterwards Edward IV., erected a chapel on the bridge on the spot where he was slain, in order that prayer might be constantly said in it for the repose of the souls of the followers of the White Rose who were slain in the battle. It covers thirty by twenty-four feet, and has recently been restored by a successor of Goldsmith's "Vicar of Wakefield."
Father intends to appeal to Parliament, but even in Parliament he fears he cannot obtain justice.

On arrival in North Bay to go fishing with Billy Thorpe he had found that wide-awake young architect so immersed in an important contract that temporary postponement of their plans was imperative. As if provided specially to meet the situation along had come Rutland's urgent wire to headquarters for a new chainman, one of his men having taken sick suddenly.
I really saw more fine runs in one week, with the Duke of Rutland's pack, and the Quarndon pack, which latter pack was then kept by Lord Foley, than I ever saw with a West- country pack in one year.

"I think Sir John is all there is of Lord Rutland's family," I said, alarmed yet amused at Dorothy's search for an excuse not to hate my new-found friend. "Well," she continued after a pause, throwing her head to one side, "I am sorry there are no more of that family not to hate." "Dorothy! Dorothy!" I exclaimed. "What has come over you?
Dramatic or poetical value is wanting in those productions of Jonson. From his poems, as well as from the 'Conversations with Drummond, we know that among the patronesses of Jonson there were Lucie Countess of Bedford and Elizabeth Countess of Rutland two ladies to whom Florio dedicated a translation of Montaigne.
