men busy covering its great walls and pillars with beautiful rich
colours.

Wren lived to be a very old man. Towards the end of his life he used
to come to London once a year to sit for awhile under the great dome
which he had planned and built, for he loved it, and I think it was to
him not only a beautiful, but also a solemn and a holy thing. When he
died his body was buried in the Cathedral; his name and what he did are
written over the north door, and also some Latin words which mean,
"Reader, if thou seekest his monument, look around."

St. Paul's has taken part in our life as a nation ever {63} since.
Here some of our greatest men are buried. Nelson and Wellington both
lie here, and so do some other great British sailors and soldiers, some
also of our statesmen and painters; and monuments have been put up here
in memory of others whose graves are far away. Here Queen Victoria
came in 1897 to return thanks to God for her long reign; and here every
day, and especially on Sundays and on all great national occasions,
solemn services of prayer and supplication, or of praise and
thanksgiving, are held.

PICTURES OF BRITISH HISTORY

MORE PICTURES OF BRITISH HISTORY.

Each containing 60 Illustrations, of which 32 are in colour.

Crown 4to. Price 1/6 each. Bound in cloth.

"More Pictures of British History" is a series of stories arranged so
as to follow after and enlarge the survey of history given in "Pictures
of British History." The same methods have been followed in both
hooks, but whereas "Pictures of British History" deals mainly with men
of action, the new one treats chiefly of those whose thoughts and
ideals have made history. It is hoped that this has been done simply
and vividly enough to bring the stories well within the grasp and to
arouse the interest of children of nine or ten years of age.
