"Of the justice , the impartiality , and the particular providence of the Deity , there cannot indeed exist a moment ' s doubt , and yet thfere are mysterious circumstances connected with the application of these attributes to the condition and destiny of the human race , which the

of that Abbey , and I have no doubt but that we shall one day or another recover our rights . " In corroboration of this curious declaration of the prior of Affiingharn monastery , amongst the ancient tombs in Westminster Abbey there are two that contain the ashes
