_Right of redeeming Property._--In some country or district which I have
formerly visited, there exists, or did recently exist, a right of redeeming
property which had passed from its owner's hands, somewhat similar to that
prescribed to the Jews in Leviticus xxvi. 25. &c., and analogous to the
custom in Brittany, with which Sterne's beautiful story has made us {517}
familiar. Can you help me to remember where it is?
