MISTAKES OF TRAVELERS. 279 



passing only from Edinburgh to Glasgow, as speak of 

 that of our country after traveling only on the great 

 thoroughfares that intersect it. Our gorges are yet

 natural beauty must sleep — our heaven piercing 

 mountains encircled by vast forests or broader deserts 

 through which he must toil, if he would reach the 



commanding summits. 



Yours truly,
