[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,--I wonder how many

of your readers have seen that quaint old sign-post near Teddington, Gloucestershire ? It is made of stone and is hexagonal in shape, the inscription upon it reading :- "Edmond Attwood of The Vine Tree,

At the first time erected me, And freely he did this bestow, Strange travellers the way to show ; Ten generations past and gone, Repaired by Alice Attwood of Teddington." August 10th, 1878.

Dunelm, Manor Avenue, Kidderminster.
