Bishop Butler and Richard Hooker especially the latter, the first book of whose "Ecclesiastical Polity" is a truly noble piece of writing stand, perhaps, at the head of the weighty class of writers in our language; but going beyond these to the "Areopagitica" of Milton, or even to the powerful prose of Raleigh, you pass the boundary-line, and are touched with the buoyant influences of the Muse.

The Singtam Soubah being again laid up here from the consequences of leech-bites, I took the opportunity of visiting the Tunkra-lah pass, represented as the most snowy in Sikkim; which I found to be the case. The musk-deer inhabits these woods, and at this season I have never seen it higher.
