The excellency is full of mercy to an old, overworked servant. There was a time when the Boccarini " Nobili did not wait to hear more, but strode through the darkness at hazard, to find the stairs.
O'Gogstay seems to have given up the scenes of Irish humour with which he used to delight us; and the romance, the poetry, the religion of 'Italia la bella' form the subjects of his pencil. Cardinal Cospetto, we must say, is a most truculent prelate, and not certainly an ornament to his church. Smee, R.A.

If all the Grand Duke's subjects detested his enemies as I do, he would be the most powerful prince in Italy!"
