DEAR YOUNG FRIEND:

The original statue of King Arthur had no shield, though it was evidently

intended that it should have one. Some years ago an appropriate shield was

made for it. The photographs are sometimes with it and sometimes without

it, though as the statue stands now in the church it is with the shield as

illustrated in THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.

We have heard of no fresh rising in India; the plague and the famine are

weakening the people so much that they have little spirit of revolt left.
