It would undoubtedly be easy to extend these to Henry II. who was educated in Bristol, under the superintendanceofthe Earl of Glocester--to his school-fellow and friend Fitzharding, the founder of the Monastery of St. Augustine, and to picture them together at the school of Mathews, in Baldwin-street.
