some other lords and dukes and generals and
those sorts OF things. He rode a little bay

that the higher up IN the world a man is, the

Come with me, gentle reader, to Quebeck
Quebeck was surveyed and laid out by
gentleman who had been afflicted with the
delerium tremens from childhood, snd hence
idees of things was little irreg'!er The
streets don't lead anywhere in particler, but
everywheres in gin'ral. The city is built on
variety Of perpendicler hills, each hill bcin'
trifie w,iss nor t'other one. Qnebeck rs
full Of stone walls. and arches, and citadels
