These advantages entitle the editor “to 
the confidence of the public ;” and he 
fs encouraged to hope that “ his labours 
on the present occasion will be honoured 
with a degree of approbation equally 
flattering and extensive'to that con- 
ferred on his universally read and ap- 
proved books—The Picture of London,

The title-page is the best written part 
of this volume, since it is addressed 
to every individual of the summer 
swarm, which migrates in hot weather 
from the metropolis, and disperses itself 
through the fashionable and romantic 
retreats of England and Wales. Is a

little manual, adorned with plates and 
illustrated with maps? Is an excursion 
to Derbyshire, or the Lakes, or a tour 
through Wales in contemplation? the 
guide is ready soliciting their attention 
and, without any other assistance, will 
engage to conduct them to every place 
worth notice. The editor, however,

« mastér of a limited number of pupils 
at Islin¢ton,”? and, in order to relieve 
the anxieties of a laborious profession, 
that he has been accustomed during the 
summer vacations to visit ‘ some plea-

to re-arrange the whole with consider-

In other words, Mr. Evans, not satis- 
fied with pleasure, wished also to obtain 
profit from his excursions: he has ac- 
cordingly, by the help of much quota- 
tion, contrived to manufacture a book 
which, we doubt not, is by this time 
totally and deservedly forgotten.
