{See ""Essex Reoiew, Oct., 1901.'') As I have already said, to the Englishman of the present day the England of tiie times of Greorge the Third has become as much a matter of ^ancient history " as the land- ing of Julius Caesar, and he can share the reminiscences of it with intelligent Americans with no more hesitation than he has in speaking of them to his own countrymen. If school books do not always treat of the period in the same spirit, they ought to do so in justice to both countries, and... for the simple sake of truth. If nature heals every scar in the landscape by the silent growth of v^etation, by a similar law she softens off with the lapse of time the memory of all old wrongs, unless we use force to prevent her doing so. There was a time when Saxon and Dane in the north of England, and Saxon and Norman in the south, had grievances against each other. The men who are descended from two of the races, or from all three, have no ground for reviving these griev- ances, nor have the New Englanders of 1901 any ground for holding the English who are living now, responsible for wrongs that some of their great-grandfathers did — and that many of them for that matter did not/ Here is an incident in the battle of Bunker's Hill that has never been published, and that will interest both Americans and Englislimen as an archnological curiosity : — Two of the regiments that fought in the American War were the 88th Connaught Bangers and the Boyal Marines.
