GUY LININGSTONE'S STILE, everyone knows, and
how a mighty rider and woman-fascinator comports
himself, it will be easy to conjecture its easy superiority of
diction in his account of his recent American Pilgrimage.
"By my faith" is a very favourite exclamation; and
‘;
" sooth to say" has a mellow antiquarian effect, which
almost makes us look, but in vain, for grammercy "in his
pages. Three months' rain is very finely turned—" the ,
three months' reign of Jupiter Pluvius." Tasting is deli-
cately called " savouring." That the author is not much
past thirty-five is expressed classically by saying that he
has "hardly entered on his eighth lustre." The ankles of
young ladies are described with fine Johnsonian effect as
' their "pedal perfections," and the pilgrim complains that
they were too often draped oven from his admiring eyes.

eyes, the sweet indolent morbidezza" of the Baltimore type
of beauty; and in language even more rich and full of ma-
jestic connoissseurship than usual, he f.;ivee us his one
glimpse of a lady of " eupreme perfection."
