Its supply of news is so fresh and so reliable that everybody reads it, even the Roman Catholics in North Brabant and Limburg, Holland's two Catholic counties. The next important newspaper is Het Algemeen Handelsblad of Amsterdam, which is peculiarly the journal of the Amsterdam merchants, shipowners, and traders.
It will not be pretended that all this prosperity proceeded only from the poverty of Holland's natural resources. Something does not grow from nothing.
I have since dined at Lord Morpeth's, Lord John Russell's, Lord Mahon's, Dr. Holland's, Baron Parke's, The Prussian Minister's, and to-day we dine with the Duchess of Inverness, the widow of the Duke of Sussex; to-morrow with Mr. Milman, a prebend of Westminster and a distinguished man of letters.

I know not why; but if it will give him any satisfaction, I will leave Bannerworth Hall to-night." "No, no, no," said Henry; "for the love of Heaven, do not let us quarrel." "Hear, hear," cried the admiral. "We can never fight the enemy well if the ship's crew are on bad terms.

At last I have been permitted to give the matter so long laid aside its just dues. A beautiful portion of Holland's glorious history affords the espalier, around which the tendrils of my narrative entwine.
