_Milton at Eyford House, Gloster._--In the British Museum (says Wilson in
his description of Christ's College, Cambridge) is the original
proclamation for Milton's appearance after the Restoration. Where was he
secreted? I find this note in my book:--At Eyford House, Gloucestershire,
within two miles of Stow-on-the-Wold, on the road to Cheltenham, a spring
of beautiful water is called "Milton's Well," running into a tributary of
the Thames. The old house, &c., at the time would be out of the way of
common information.
