Ng Madame Pulasky writes thusin her
diary, Of the author Of the Sketch Book
I've met Washington Iyring, whose
nanc, ever since I have been acquainted
with English literature, was connected in
my mind with such genuine freshness Of
conception, that | fancied the author Of the
Sketch Book and Of the radiant pictures
of the Alhamgra, must remain always
young. I was. therefore, rather childishly
surprised to see a gentlemen, on whose loty
brow years have impressed their traces,
and to hear that he was she man whom my
imagination had endowed with the unwith-
ering vigour of youth, like, Goethe. whose
Jupiter frame was not bent by age. But
listening to hi. conversation full of hope and
warmth. I found that ma afly impression
had not been wrong.
