Already the daily press has given its contribution towards commemorating this ocasion. A few weeks ago a strange article appeared on the back page of the Evening Post, purporting to vindicate Charles with information newly come to light. Charles R., it seems, died a martyr to the cause of democracy and freedom! What lengths the ruling class of the twentieth century go to, to renounce their own revolutionary past! Hazlitt once scoffed at Sir Walter Scott: "Through some odd process of servile logic, it should seem, that in restoring the claims of the Stuarts by the courtesy or romance, the House of Brunswick are more firmly seated in point of fact . . ." Merely read "bourgeoisie" for "House of Brunswick," and we have the 'present case very aptly summed up. Except, of course, that "the courtesy of romance" no longer suffices. There was a day when we learned that "the Roundheads were Right but Repulsive; and the Cavaliers were Wrong but Wromantlc." Now, apparently, the Cavaliers were both Right and Romantic.
