Professor Cooke's Lecture on English History.

Professor Cooke delivered the fourth of his lectures on English History last night in Boylston Hall. His first subject was Windsor Castle, the usual residence of the present queen. Many parts of the castle have been greatly changed but there are some portions still, which date back as far as Henry the Third. The upper portions of the castle are mostly modern, although there is one tower built in Henry the Third's time, and known as "Henry the Third's Tower."

"St. George's Chapel," built in the Tudor Style of architecture, is a mausoleum, filled with the tombs of many of the royal family, including those of Henry VIII, his wife, Jane Seymour, and Charles II.

The next view was the Cathedral at Gloucester on the Seavern, whose walls are of the old Norman style and which the monks rebuilt from the offerings made at Edward the Second's tomb.

Passing on we come to Warwick Castle, where the tomb is situated, of Thomas Beauchamp, so famous under the Black Prince, at Poitiers and Crecy, Dudley, the Earl of Leicester, and the Earl of Warwick are also buried here.

The next was perhaps the most familiar of all,-Kenilworth Castle. This castle, made so interesting by Scott's novels, was visited three times by Elizabeth, and was the home of Dudley, the Earl Leicester, at one time.

The last subject was Haddon Hall, one of the best preserved examples of the Tudor architecture. It is a grand old place, and is the seat of a delightful romance, related at length by Professor Cooke, and was visited once or twice by Queen Elizabeth.
