He agreed, and turned his thoughts towards the "Graphic Arts," and a new edition of "Etching and Etchers." In the beginning of April, Mr. Hamerton attended with his family the wedding of Charles Gindriez, his brother-in-law, and was well pleased with the young lady, who thus became a new member in the gatherings at La Tuilerie.

Small immediate results of the expedition to the Highlands. Unsuitable system of work. Loss of time. I rent the house and island of Innistrynich. My dread of marriage and the reasons for it.
