NEW YoRK Times on Anthony Trollope:
among the most indefaiigable of diners-out
during the London season for the last ten or
twenty years, was a shor', broadly-built, and
rather quick hammered old gentleman, whose
round, rosy face, surmounted by snow white
hair, generally managed TO interest the
ladies on both sides of him. At later

human being is only atom in this great
city. His arrival is a snowflake falling on
the bosom OF river. He disappears the
moment he lands from steamer or train
swallowed up in the vortex Of humanity

distinct entities in the public services that
have hardly yet brought us 10 the notice OF
more than moiety Of the busy throng."
