LONDON: HENRY COLBURN, PUBLISHER; GREAT MARLBOROUGH STREET. : 3 J. = 3.10 ARTHUR ARUNDEL. CHAPTER I. It is past ten o'clock at night, and by the light of an unsnuffed tallow candle the reader may survey a small bed-room in the attics of Luther House, a boy's school situated in the neighbourhood of Christchurch in Hampshire. The meanly furnished chamber contains a tent bed with coarse check hangings; a deal table, on which lies an unopened book, with a rush-bottomed chair on either side; the bare, and by no means overclean walls being decorated by a couple of unglazed coarse engravings, one representing Doctor Titus Oates, and the other, Doctor Tongue, the two Protestant champions as they were termed 7-17-33 Friends VQL.
