There are few Americans who went to England before the late wars but will remember Ripon House. The curious student of history-a study, perhaps, too little in vogue with us-could find no better example of the palace of an old feudal lord. Dating almost from the time of the first George-and some even say it was built by the same Wren who designed that St. Paul's Cathedral whose ruins we may still see to the east of London-it frowned upon the miles of private park surrounding it, a marble memorial of feudal monopoly and man's selfish greed. The very land about it, to an extent of almost half a county, was owned by the owners of the castle, and by them rented out upon an annual payment to such farmers as they chose to favor with a chance to earn their bread.
