THE LOST BOND. I wae srticied to that eminent firm of solfettors, Mees ney & Grafton, of Lincoin’s Inn Fields, Who, for the modest premium of three hundred guineas, allowed me to sit in thelr office and as. sist them with the work, with liberty to pick up law best way I could.

London I left out of tue question altogether, as being, in my opinion, the most difl- eult place for any one without influence to work upa practice in. Every place I visited seemed to be well supplied with gentiemen learnéd in the law. and to be tn no need of further additions. However, after a good deal of tnqui travel ing about, I fixed upon tue q town of Barton tn which and, having taken an office i gaged an oMce bog, J nc that I was ready to render X ‘nce they might require, by aftixing a on the door with myname and dé seribed thereon.
