London is a desirable residence for many arid various
descriptions of persons. Those who wish to be known
or to be forgotten ; who seek an massive field for their
vices or their virtues; who love the most delicate food
for the body or the mind, and have a craving for French
dishes or uew novels ; those who like a plentiful choke
of physicians or preachers, who are curious in hair-
cutting, or obliged to wear false teeth, should all settle
in London, where each may with the greatest facility
obtain the object of his pursuit. Every man of decidedly
superior intellect or attainments should either reside in
London or frequently visit it; this is the arena where
ails encounter and brighten in the contest, and where
many a one who bas thought himself a giant in the
country has shrunk suddenly into a pigmy.—New
