{172b} At that time it was known simply as Newnham, but as this is the
name of the College, and was also in use for a growing region of houses,
the Darwins christened it Newnham Grange. The name Newnham is now
officially applied to the region extending from Silver Street Bridge to
the Barton Road.

{173a} The following account of Newnham Grange is taken from C. H.
Cooper's _Memorials of Cambridge_, 1866, Vol. III., p. 262 (note): "The
site of the hermitage was leased by the Corporation to Oliver Grene, 20
September, 31 Eliz. [1589]. It was in 1790 leased for a long term to
Patrick Beales, from whom it came to his brother, S. P. Beales, Esq., who
erected thereon a substantial mansion and mercantile premises now
occupied by his son, Patrick Beales, Esq., alderman, who purchased the
reversion from the Corporation in 1839." Silver Street was formerly
known as Little Bridges Street, and the bridges which gave it this name
were in charge of a hermit, hence the above reference to the hermitage.

{173b} This was to distinguish it from the "Big Island," both being
leased from the town. Later George acquired in the same way the small
oblong kitchen garden on the river bank, and bought the freehold of the
Lammas land on the opposite bank of the river.

{187} Compare Mr. Chesterton's _Twelve Types_, (1903), p. 190. He
speaks of Scott's critic in the _Edinburgh Review_: "The only thing to be
said about that critic is that he had never been a little boy. He
foolishly imagined that Scott valued the plume and dagger of Marmion for
Marmion's sake. Not being himself romantic, he could not understand that
Scott valued the plume because it was a plume, and the dagger because it
was a dagger."
