PREFACE. 



an accomplislied delineator. In ^'The Character and 

 Manners of the Tyrolese," we are presented with a pic- 

 ture of a hardy and simple people, who, amid the sternest 

 necessities of war, exhibited a nobleness, a generosity, 

 and a patriotism worthy of Sparta in her proudest days. 



In all respects, the unpretending Miscellany we offer 

 to the reader, will well repay a careful perusal.
