think, after a week or two's residence in this bright, 

 cheerful, healthy town, mingling with the hospitable, 

 agreeable, and sociable inhabitants, it would go far 

 towards the restoration of the powers of youth. 

 Doubtless under the fortuitous chain of circumstances 

 which surrounded me during my visit, everything 

 seemed couleur de rose; but, nevertheless, I think I 

 may truthfully say that Tunbridge Wells is one of 

 the nicest places of its class, and that if the tide of 

 fashion was to ebb from foreign countries, and flow 

 into an English channel such as this, every advan- 

 tage for those seeking health would be found at 

 home, instead of being sought for — often mth much 

 toil and vexation of spirit — in foreign climes. Very 

 pleasant are my recollections of my rides with the 

 West Kent Foxhounds, and it would be strange if I 

 should not return to scenes of past delights, especi- 

 ally as I have several cordial invitations to visit 

 their jovial inhabitants.
