of the multitude are utterly unknown
now, as they were quite undistinguished
in life. But enough remain to arouse
deep emotions. Far inferior to the
feelings then excited is admiration
of many of the movements as 
of ant. In this respect the modern
are the best, there is a vast contrast
between the fantastic allegorical and
after incomprehensible designs, gigantic
and , of the 15 & 16 centuries
especially and the chaste Statues of
Chantry in our own day. Remarkable
and imposing as is the building
it self it is not equal to Gloucester
Cathedral and several others. Still
it far suprasses any or ever
call in America. Ages of faith
can alone conceive or erect these
subblime temples. Of this St 
is in goof illustration. Built by 
Christopher Wren and enormous
sums it had the fatal defect of being
material not spiritual in the impression
it produces. Examined in detail it is
a wonderfull work, but it does not
excite spiritual sympathy_it is with

the old churches. This remark is true
in regard to all the Catholic constructed

The houses of Parliament have been
furnished since I was here in 1847. They
are certainly wonderful but they do
not produce any impression except of
admiration of artistic Skills. They
do not even seem by any means so
large as they really are_ does the
florid go this style seem suitable for
secular buildings. The universal
and elaborate carved ornament are
not bold enough to produce any
striking effect. The chief fraction, the
Victoria tower rises forms such an
immense  mass of buildings and is
it self so massive that its height
is not apparant. The interior is
better than the exterior, Color most

Nov 7 to 11 In Gloucester quiet &
. I would remain here for
months without exhausting the
objects of interest. The Cathedral
its self which I have visited so often is
ever more attrative than at first. The 
exterior which I have seen at almost
all hours of the day and after at night
never presents the same appearance twice
The different states of the atmosphere and
the changes of shade causes every
varying variety. Even the color changes
from pale cream color to deep purple,
sometimes it glows with rosy tints &
sometimes it is almost golden in its
heavenly glory and again it seems
like a vast sepulcher shrouded in
gloom and in blackness the
interior is grand or beautiful and
various in attraction from the stately
to the florid 
Lady chapel or the solemn crypt
Of the vast numbers of monuments
no two are alike and there is hardly
one which does not track a less one
either biographical or historical or
of the of or the changes
of manners. They track too

admiration of genuine or contempt
for vanity
I am very near the Cathedral and
I wander around and through it
almost daily, Six times in the
day and night I heard the sweet
bells chiming at 8, 1 & 5 O Clock
the night chimes_voices of the
past which for ages rung to the
praises and glory of God steal
through silence in sacred melody
and the soul in absorbed
dreamy delightful or inspire one
unconcious and un uttered
spirit of adoration. There are
other chimes in Gloucester but
these of the Cathedral are quite
different from any of them it is the
difference between the spiritual and
the material. I suspect that
the Cathedral bell alone have come
from Catholic times and that the
other are of the earth earthly not
consumated made to amuse man
not to worship God. It is too bad
that these fraud Cathedrals beautiful
churches monuments altars relics
should be the epoch of these

Carry and William are very Kind
and I am quite comfortable and
satisfied in thie quiet home for
which I am very grateful. Carry
is so sweet that no one can fail
49
to love her. To me she seems a dear
daughter and I shall be quite satis-
fied if my glow to be as
sensible amiablle & acomplished as Carry
Manville. I shall deeply ful the pain
of parting with her for we are not
likely ever again to meet in this
world. There it is with all human
happiness it is never complete but 
always dashed with the which
is inescapable from this life
I am not well nor am I sick
I am feeble and have caught cold
which has settled in my face and
causes continual pain. To day
this is better and I shall soon be
well. I have again to Dr Evans
This morning I lay in bed
for an hour half awaken in a s

vision of Nancy & the children I
saw them & heard them, they
are beautiful and while I

sure that it was all delightful
I pursuade myself that this was a
true revelation & that they are all
well and happy. God bless them

being the first after the City Election all
the authorities attended the Cathedral. I saw

loose coats with big brass buttons a

ever received. But this coming without
that she wrote to Carry, we are almost
in despair about it and the photographs

To the Cathedral with Carry and there
walked with Miss K a charming
girl to whom I have taken a
fancy but whose vivacity
in intercourse with such
an antique bronx as I am.
Nov 27 _ Reading, visiting walking
talking. In evening at the Tulsey
(Town hall) with Carry to hear one
Rev Rackett by to 
Irish Catholic to be converted to
Protestanism. I had expected to
have a wild Irishman 

ranting and against
Popery and was disappointed of
anticipated fun by finding that
he was only a fool. So left in
the midst of his dull droving
of flat nonsense. At supper, Mr
Po King a sensible man with whom 
I talked until very late.
Nov 28 As usual_ At night to Concert
of the Choral Society at the Shire hall
with Carry and Miss Kimss. I was
delighted especially with "God save the
Queen and "the British Grenadiers"
 which thrilled through every fibre of
my frame. These concerts are fiven
gratification of the
people
by ladies & gentlemen for
and I supper to sales
also. About 130 persons sang in the 
chorus and then one duett
quartetes &c _ Mr Henry Fleeck (Mr
Manville ) played the ensam
a noble instrument, I escorted
Miss Kimss home and talked 
to _ Wholly inaffection

Called at sunset, which was very
bright to look at the Cathedral. It was
wonderful and indeed almost super
-natural. The main building had a
ruddy ruddy tinge, the station in the
niches and the pro pecting carvings
standing out in a clear white light
which the tower was resplendent
in rose tinged with gold. It seems
animated by some subtle spirit
_ not an all material, reflecting only
the ray at the declining sun but
a glorious heaven inspired creation
In evening went to Christy's
