one cannot help agreeing with the
great • Samuel Johnson, of diction-
ary ft ii e,,. who in his day said,
"When, tt mqn, is rood o Landon

Of course he was not satisfied with
seeing its greatstreets and squares
.and palaces, but be -• must survey'
the innumerable, little lanes and

mensity of which "London e,onaists.
One .Dopes tit go with more money

David Garrick, the great actor, had
when, they first came to the 'city,.
'This odd pair, Doctor of Literature,

tionalists, often dubbed a bear for
his lack of social graces and natural
elegance, and Garrick, who #lecame
famous to a height 'that few have

Was talking of . things at leisure,
'and particularly .of their • handicaps
in making such a venture, "I 'with
tuppence halfpenny. in my pocket
ttnd thou, Davy (David), with three
,half -pence in thine."
Subsequently, when , he was
• established in 1the, city so dear to
him, and b'e' it iYie'-.,.f1`meus, he was
favored with visits f oro those who
occupied the seats o the mighty.
Though treated rudely by some who
should have known better, 'in .and
around 'London town he_e

the intelligentsia entertained. w„ J on-
doners broiled on Johnson and—fed
their minds at the fountain of his
wit, .wisdom and extraordinary
knowledge. He well .knew • the
truth of what. he ,averred: "Sir, a
boy's.being flogged is not so severe
as .a man's having the, hiss of the
*orld against him." .The hiss was
his occasionally; .even in London,
but he never ceased to praise his
adopted city.'
His appreciation of London is
suggested iz some of the famous
sayings • of thi's London ' dweller;
One is, "Sir, let me tell you the
neblest-jJro's ect which a .Scotchman
ever sees is the high road •that•-Ieads

centres, had to suffer a snub from.
s .ntem�ber` of the Provincial Legis-
,lature who reniarkes1 that he "ad-
mired Toronto so much because it.
contained the Union Station where
he could get the train to Hamilton."
Another quotation of' Johnson,
noted for his admiration of London,
is, "Why, sir, . Fleet Street has a
very"'animated appearance;' but I
think the full, tide of human ex-
istence is at t haritig Cross." John-,
soft also.mentioned the case of an
eminent tallow chandler who, , hav-
ing aegeired o considerable fortune,
gave up• the trade- and retired- re,

1`liere ,is much mere to , see in
London now than . in Dr. Johnson's
time. Its nobility as a city, its
temples and palaces and m0nu-

Of these, .unlike the bul'iding booms

It will not be necessary to spend
hundreds of dollars on landscaping
or even to put in long hours of

Authorities generally advise an in-
formal layout. The beginner is
warned to 'steer clear 'of stiff rows
for flowers, though along walks,
