4 LIVERPOOL CEMETERY MR HUSKISSON. 



lation, it was painful to witness land so mismanaged and la 

 bour so misapplied. This anomaly may, perhaps, be account 

 ed for, by the genius of the inhabitants of this district having 

 long been successfully applied to manufactures ; and neither 

 soil nor climate being congenial to agriculture ; together with 

 entails, tythes, and corn laws, checking the devotion of skill 

 and capital to cultivation. Chatmoss, through which the 

 railway passes, seems, however, an exception, and I regretted 

 time did not permit an examination of the interesting manage 

 ment it is under, with which I had become acquainted by 

 means of periodicals devoted to rural affairs. 



On reaching Liverpool, our first proceeding was to search 

 for a conveyance to New York, which we obtained in the 

 Napoleon packet-ship; the commander, Captain Smith, resign 

 ing his cabin to my friend and me, the other berths in the ship 

 having been previously engaged, with exception of one which 

 was required for our companion. 



Part of the 22d, 23d, and 24th, was spent in viewing the 

 attractions of Liverpool, the chief of which, in my estimation, 

 is the cemetery. This repository of mouldering humanity 

 has been&quot; recently formed, and its numerous beauties have 

 not been matured or mellowed by time. Trees, shrubs, and 

 flowers, were diminutive, and generally in their winter garb, 

 which fully displayed the memorials to the gaze of visitants. 

 The cenotaph to Mr Huskisson stands near the centre, and 

 can seldom fail of fixing for a time the attention, and exciting 

 the sympathies of his countrymen. The world is now enjoy 

 ing the green fruits of his genius, with prospect of increasing 

 and lasting supply, while the laurels of contemporary warriors 

 are barren and fading. So long as the principles of free trade 

 are cherished and acted on, the memory of Huskisson will en 

 dure.
