SIR WALTER RALEIGH.

MA' PAGE; FROM THE PAST.

Three hundred years ago (on October 29, 1619) Sir Walter. Raleigh was beheaded to please the King of Spain, It was A tragical and to a great carver, but had Raleigh met his death in any other manner it is unlkely that he would ever have become a hero of popular tradition. Up- starts and courtiers have seldom captured the English imagination, and in the great days of Elizabeth Raleig was perhaps the most generally suspected and disliked of the men who rose to wealth and power by flattery, intrigue, by patient and unscrupulous attention to the main chance. There were some who reaped a richer harvest in the same field, i but Raleigh was specially un- popular because he derived a part of his great wealth from the monopolies which were the most detested feature of Elizabethan finance. He was as jealous as Leicester, as quarrelsome Essex. The old families hated him for his pride and ostentation. The serious-minded were scandalised by his taste for promiscuous

disputation of points of theology and metaphysics, and branded him, probably with gross injustice. as an atheist.

It is true that in a few select circles Raleigh was both loved and admired. He was the friend of Gilbert and Sydney and Gren-

ville, of Spenser and Ben Jonson. Such men were no had judges of "ability and character. But their praises alone would never have given him the place which he holds in the Elizabethan legend. That was secured for him by Gondomar. the Spanish Minister and by James I., who thought to cement the new alliance, between Great Britain and Spain with the blood of the last of the Devon sea captains.

In a sense it is inaccurate to class Raleigh with Grenville. Drake, and Hawkins and their fellows, Raleigh began his active life as a soldier in the Huguenot service. His Erst famous voyage, that of 1595 to the Orinoco, was undertaken when he had passed his fortieth year. He never visited Virginia. but was content to carry 00: his scheme of colonisatian bs deputy His writings show. indeed, that he was better.versed in the technicalities of seaman- ship than most courtiers who have held a high command at sea. but he was scarcely a professional sailor. If he took part in the victory of Effingham and Drake over Philip's. Armada, he must have been there in some subordi. mate or inconspicuous capacity. in spite of all traditions to the contrary, for his name is not mentioned in the official records of our naval operations during 1588.

But of all Elizabeth's advisers, Raleigh was most imbued with

the traditions of the ses captains; and it was thanks to him that
