RESIDENCE OF DR. GOLDSMITH, GREEN ARBOUR COURT, OLD BAILEY.

ONE of the advantages arising from contemplating the lowly residence of genius, is the encouragement it affords to the young aspirant after fame, when he is reminded, by the sight of these abodes of poverty, that many whose names stand high in the records of literature, once laboured under the discouragements of penury and obscurity, Who can visit Green Arbour Court, and view the wretched habitation of which Goldsmith was once an inmate, and not be astonished that, by the mere force of his genius, he emerged from this obscurity, became the companion of the first men of the day, and acquired a name which will descend to the latest posterity?
