_Travelling in England._--I forward you a note on this subject,
extracted, some years ago, from a very quaintly-written _History of
England_, without title-page, but apparently written in the early part
of the reign of George the First. It is among the remarkable events of
the reign of James the First:--
"A.D. 1621, July the 17th, Bernart Calvert of Andover, rode from
St. George's Church in Southwark to Dover, from thence passed by
Barge to Callais in France, and from thence returned back to Saint
George's Church the same day. This his journey he performed betwixt
the hours of three in the morning and eight in the afternoon."
This appears to me such a surprising feat, that I think some of your
correspondents may be interested in it; and also may be able to append
farther information.
