Those who missed the lecture, Westminster Abbey, by Dr. Eccleston on Monday evening last, made a great mistake. It was replete witli interest as a matter of course, but the illustrations were wondeiful and splendid. Only au actual visit to the place can approximate it. Neither tonguenor pen can possibly do it justice. lts wondarful architecture can not be so well imagined in any other way. Many feit on going home that they culd have stood and listened all night, and as if shey hd actually been on the spot and stepped on the marble floors and touched the many monuments ot the noble dead from the Kings and Queens of centuries down to Sir Isaac Newton; Shakespeare; Dickens, Thackary and a hundred others whose name3 were familiar as their own, and whose faces seemedreally speaking. Pitt strikingly full of oratory in force and manner, Fox, grand even in the agonies of death. Itmustbe seen to be aupreciated and in a certain way has its advantages over an actual visit in that the lectures and home are to be preferred to impostors, sea-sickness and expense.
