Female Beauty of short Duration. 287 



and Welsh women in London. Female beauty 

 here is of very short duration. Want of pro- 

 tection to the face from the sun, wind, and 

 smoke, soon destroys the finest complexion ; 

 and as this is so materially requisite to con- 

 stitute loveliness in the sex, it cannot be ex- 

 pected that the young women should long 

 remain strictly beautiful^ though their features 

 may entitle them to be considered as agree- 

 ably personable. Tastes, however, differ so 

 much, that no one should hazard more than 

 his own individual opinion, and leave the pro- 

 nouncing of judgment generally to the discri- 

 mination of the many. I shall write again from 

 Sligo before we proceed hence j till when, 

 adieu.
