Gray's Ode.

In return for the information about Gray's *Ode*, I send an entertaining and very characteristic circumstance told in Mrs. Bigg's (anonymous) *Residence in France* (edited by Gifford):— "She had a copy of Gray when she was arrested in the Reign of Terror. The Jacobins who searched her goods lighted on the line— 'Oh, tu severi religio loci,' and said, 'Apparemment ce livre est quelque chose de fanatique.'" My informant tells me that the monk he saw was the same as the one mentioned by your correspondent, and that he had a motto from Lord Bacon over his cell.
