It was my inestimable privilege the other morning it was All-Saints' Day to see the archbishop in the old Frauenkirche, the ancient cathedral, where hang tattered banners that were captured from the Turks three centuries ago, to see him seated in the choir, overlooked by saints and apostles carved in wood by some forgotten artist of the fifteenth century.
The second day after the holy cross day, 16th September, we began our journey, attended by three guides, and we rode continually eastwards during forty-six days, till the feast of All-Saints, 1st November.

Calmly stood the mountain of All-Saints, in its majestic, holy stillness; the river flowed so far below, that the murmur of itswaters was not heard; there was not a sigh of the evening wind among the leaves, not a sound upon the earth nor in the air; and yet that night there fell a star from heaven!
The country is populous and flourishing, and the government comprehends two smaller islands called All-Saints and Deseada, which appear at a small distance from the coast, on the eastern side of the island. The British squadron having arrived at Bassaterre, it was resolved to make a general attack by sea upon the citadel, the town, and other batteries by which it was defended.
The body is then laid in a chamber of lime, which remains for eight months hermetically closed, until the flesh has been entirely eaten away; then the bones are fastened together, dressed, and placed in a niche. On All-Saints' day these corridors of death are crowded with gazers; friends and relations of the deceased resort thither to light candles and perform their devotions.
