　　ENGLAND , MY ENGLAND

　　It is twenty-five miles across the fields to Salisbury. Sheep can be seen everywhere and the great number of them is really wonderful. All around the city of Salisbury, as far as twenty-two miles to the west, and six miles south, down to the coast, farmers raise sheep. There could be as many as six hundred thousand sheep fed within six miles of Salisbury, measuring every way round and the town in the centre.

　　As we travelled through this country, we saw many old relics from ancient times and ruins of the native population of this kingdom. These are interesting to a traveller who has read something of the history of the country. The cathedral is famous for the height of its tower, which is without doubt the highest and the most handsome in England, being from the ground 404 feet.

　　Salisbury itself is a large and fine city. It is built where two rivers come together. Neither of them is very big, but they become a large river when joined together, and yet larger when joined by a third river, about three miles below the city. Then, through a deep channel they flow through some gardens, and down to Christchurch, into the sea.
