In those distant regions, where men yet feel the full value of the gifts of nature, a land-holder boasts of the water of his spring, the absence of noxious insects, the salutary breeze that blows round his hill, as we in Europe descant on the conveniences of our dwellings, and the picturesque effect of our plantations.
It also boasts and enjoys a great, breezy common, large enough to hold such another town, and which few in the kingdom can show.
The clean cheerful town on the sheer limestone crags boasts a cathedral, wherein, so the guide-book informs us, we shall find the tomb of Filangieri, the great Italian jurist. But the building contains in reality far more stirring associations than those connected with a prominent lawyer.
For autumn wear there are camlets, alpacas, and serge of all colours, which are designated "Yachting and Sea-side Costumes," but which are suitable for all places. Their effect is exceedingly good, braided or otherwise. They may be got anywhere, though Cowes boasts of having the best assortment.
I have dwelt so much upon Kingsley's poetry because, though he was hardly a "minor poet," an order which now boasts sixty members he wrote a few short pieces which came wonderfully near being a great success.

"I am saddened to contemplate the infirmities of my countrymen, these Americans who can't rest in Paris until they find some place as deadly as any Broadway boasts, these English who adore beautiful Paris solely because here they may continue to get drunk publicly after half-past twelve!" "Ah, then it's la barbe, is it not?" said the girl, gingerly stroking her faded, painted cheek.
A cross-fire of news and London gossip ringing on every side made up a perfect Babel most difficult to form an idea of.
