LORD ANSON.

(_To the Editor._)

Being in Sussex a short time since, I observed at a public-house

adjoining the Duke of Richmond's, at Goodwood, the figure head of the

Centurion, the ship in which Lord Anson sailed round the world. On the

pedestal that supported it against the house, are the following lines:--

Stay traveller awhile and view

One who has travelled more than you,

Quite round the world, through each degree,

Anson and I have ploughed the sea,

Torrid and frigid zones have past,

And safe at home arrived at last.

There follow two other lines, which are almost unintelligible.
