Shall we behold such a spectacle as I have seen to-day, standing on one of God's own " everlasting hills, " and hesitate in our response to the call of the Psalmist: — "Oh! that men would therefore praise the Lord for His goodness, and declare the wonders that He doeth for the children of men!"— (Ps. 107— S. ) VOL. T. H 146 ATHENS AND EDINBURGH. CHAPTER XIV. Athens and Edinburgh — Holyrood — Rizzio — John Knox — High Street— Carlyle, on Hero Worship — Houses of Edinburgh- Scotland's Worthies — ...The Castle — Old and New Town. I walked one morning with a relative who is well acquainted with Athens and its vici- nity, round Calton Hill ; his remarks at each step of our progress, as to the evident similitude between that town and Edinburgh, were to me a very strong and confirmatory proof as to the truth of this well-known comparison. He did not merely make a general admission or state- ment of the likeness between the two cities and their immediate neighbourhood ; but, when we had once touched on the subject, he at every step illustrated the fact, saying: — "There is Hymettus — there is the Piraeus, " and so on ; just as if there had been an absolute identity between what he saw at the moment, and what he remembered to have seen in Greece.
