HE. ASQUITH AT DUNDEE,

THE CHINA MAIL.

In the year 1381,—while Mary Queen of Scots was a prisonor in England, while James VI, was to all intents and purposes a prisoner in Scotland, only nios yra after the death of John Knox, -- the Town Clark of Dundeo, Àlexander Wedderburn, by aame, drew up a list of the Fresmen vy Burgesson of the Bargh. This civic log in one of the most cherished possessions of Dundee, it is preserved in the Charter Room of the Towo House, and is deriven its title of the Lockit Book" from the fashion in which it is strictly guarded. The | manuscript volums of 1020 pages of unruled antique paper is bound in leather covered wooden boards, with two angraved claspe of brass fitted with locks and keys. With the advent of modern manicipal institu tions, the burgess ship is, of course, purely

honorary; its rights and privileges and duties purely imaginary. The "Lockit Book" is seldom opened, than only to receive the name of some distinguished parsonage, and the latest addition to its signatures is that of the Right Hon Herbert Henry Asquib, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, for sovek-and-

twenty years Parliamentary representativ

of the Eastern Divi In of the adjacent **Kingdom" of Fife."
