Memories of English Writers.

At Rose Cottage, formerly occupying the site of the Southwest Town Hall, lived Thomae Binney, the hymn writer, and there he entertained Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe during her stay in London. At Rowbotham’s academy, hard by Rose Cottage, John Ruskin attended school. In other side streets off the Walworth road were born Michael Faraday and Emily Andrews, afterward Mrs. Coventry Patmore and the insplrer of “The Angel In the House." Within a stone’s throw of Camberwell Green are the birthplaces of Robert Browning and Professor Joqrett, while Denmark Hill must always be remembered as the lifelong home of Ruskin. Dulwich, too, as everyone knows, is full of famous memories. Byron is said to have attended a school In the neighborhood and Dulwich Woods were the favorite haunt of the youthful Browning.— PaU Mall Gazette.
