PULTENEY BRIDGE, BATH.  

RATH, the chief town of Somersetshire, on the River Avon,  

and some 107 miles from London, enjoys an almost unique  

reputation. Readers of “Pickwick Papers” will recall the use  

Dickens made of (he mythical legend attributing its foundation  

to “a certain King Bladud.” Its claim to high antiquity is  

definitely established, however, and it first appears in history  

during the first century of the Christian era, under the name  

“Aqua Solis,” and many remains demonstrate the Romans  

were perfectly acquainted with its mineral springs. Ecclesiasti-  

cally and politically it has figured somewhat prominently in  

national records. Offa, King of Mercia, tract of territory  

comprising the borderland of the purer Anglian and Saxon  

settlements and embracing what are now known as the “Mid-  

land Counties,” founded an Abbey here in 775, and the Saxon  

King Edgar was crowned in’the Abbey in 973. Surnamed the  

“Peaceable,” one of his earliest acts was to promote St.  

Dunstan, then their Abbot, to the Archbishopric of Canter-  

bury. Pew records of the first five years of his reign have come  

down, save those which refer to his active co-operation in  

ecclesiastical reforms then in progress. He restored the monks  

to the Abbey, displaced and degraded the secular clergy and  

actively supported the scheme for dispossessing the secular  

capons of all the great churches. Edgar was great man, and  

those who live in twentieth-century days,, which witness the  

“brutal destruction policy of Hitlerism, view ,Wn “One

acquired, and that no thief find refuge for securing his stolen  

property.” Edgar’s reign forms an epoch in English history  

and aided much in the growth of monastic institutions, destined  

to “keep the fires of learning and cultural progress alive in  

later centuries, Oxford being perhaps the most outstanding ex-
