GUY LIVINGSTONE'S STYLE, 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 even from his admiring eyes.

of beauty; and in language even more rich and full of ma-
jestic connoissseurship than usual, he gives us his one
glimpse of a lady of "supreme perfection."
