| " took the cars at the South end of London
bridge and was soon over the seventeen niles be-
tween London and EPSON. The country was even
more beautiful than that which l had passed over
on my way from Liverpool and in the immediate
vicinity ot the city L saw the most extensive gar
dens for vegetables ever saw, and was much sur
| priscd to sec how forward every thing seemed to

as all Their roads are; and having paid my fare took

consume o. model artists but very nearly so. dis
playing themselves in cassic7 attitudes and you
walk around leisurcly taking view Of the scenes
