English love OF titles
"0ne OF my friends gave me letter of introduction to
Sir William p, esquire | left the letter with my
card al the Reform Clue, Pail Mall. Two hours after
Sir William came TO my residence; but as was not at
home he wrote line, and addressed il to with the
halerng designation OF esquire. England the country
extend 10 social usages and although pendant for
distinctions puerile TO the English, il would be
easy 10 prove that they are not exempt from it, They
have not have, the love OF uniforms laced coats,
epauettes decorations their button-hoes often carry
lower. but Tosee or knot of rband. But
everybody pretends TO the title OF Sir which former

As however the title Sir has become vulgar every
body calls himself Esquire 10 distinguish himself from
his neighbor This remark nevertheless, does not
Germ my friend, Sir William, for he is really esquire.
English soldiers:
:. The noise which announces their approach is very
singular. Picture TO yourself the monotonous music OF
bears dance, executed by twenty flers, whilst
beats big drum. The coats OF the infantry too
short, and surmounted with large white epaulees
The men sway their bodies about to the beating of the

on-commissioned officers carry long sticks with ivory
handles"

tic, street singer, merchant an admiral, soldier,
general artist Judge, zetghter. and clergy

the air OF Engshman, and nothing more. They live
in the way, work at the same hours, at the
me and of the same sort OF food, and all Sc
questraied when away from home from the society Of
women"
The French at London:
"At London the French labor under two subjects OF
anxiety caused by their national preudces Accustomed
to consider themselves as the first people in the world
dazzle TO despse Others and to display everywhere
the confident pride OF their supremacy they teadine
the British SOIL experience the impression OF greatness
not borrowed from them; they astonshed at finding
people remarkable ours, original are, and
carrying a still prouder degree the sentiment of their
pre- -emlnence. Then our conntrymen become disquie
ed; the intolerance oil their national faith becomes m
gated they Ill al ease, and for the first time in the
lives feel CONSTANT. Ceasing TO believe themselves
