Wetake leave of Professor Hoppin with sinceregrat
tnde for his unaffected genial and lively record of
singulary attractive tour, in which he has not only
known how 10 select the points Of most agreeable
interest but TO present them u a free and cordial
style to the imagination Of the reader. Whoever
intends to visit the in our motherland,
will do well TO put this volume in his portmanteau
and the perusal Of il. in anticipation will greatly
enhance his enjoyment OH the spot. The carefully
index at the close of the volume deserves
to be mentioned with commendaton, especially as
that facility for reference is so commonly omitted by
and slovcnly New-York bookmakers.
