A memorial erected by American admirers to Thomas Hardy, the famous Wessex novelist, was unveiled by Professor John Livingstone Lowes, of Harvard and Oxford Universities, near to the thatched cottage at Higher Bockhampton, Dorset, where the novelist was born. The monument, a rough-hewn column of Cornish granite 1 0 feet high, stands on the edge of Egdon Heath, immortalised in Hardy's “ The Return of the Native.” Our picture shows Professor Lowes (right) unveiling the memorial. Sport and General, photo.
