places there are worth seeing, if you make it your head-quarters for a time! The view of the place itself from the surrounding hills is striking, from the ascent to Shotover, or from Cumnor Hurst, or from Dr. Arnold's field above Hincksey, whence 'the eye travels down to Oxford's towers.' And it is worth while to see the Norman doorway at the west end of Iffley Church, and the ancient yew in the churchyard; and the one window that remains of Godstow up the river; or Cumnor, whence Amy Robsart was borne in to be buried in the chancel of St. Mary's; or the old church at Dorchester, once the seat of our early bishopric; or Fairford, famous for its old painted glass, with enough of white and light blue and amber to let the daylight through; or Forest Hill, whither Milton came to woo Mary Powell. And when he comes back in the evening, just after nine, the visitor will hear Great Tom ring out 101 times in honour of the old number of students. And should he again wander through the city for a last look, he may be willing to allow that, far or near, he has seldom seen a fairer sight than that

Sweet city with her dreaming spires.
