It has been either my good or evil lot to have my roving passion gratified .I have wandered throught different place s,and witnessed many of the shifting scences of life .I can not say that I have studied them with the eyes of a phlosopher ,but rather with the sauntering gaze with which humble lovers of the pictursque stroll from the window of one print shop to another ,caught sometimes by the diatortions of caricature ,and sometimes by the loveliness of landscape .A s it is the fasion for modern tourists to travel pen in hand and bring home their portfolios filled with sketches ,I am dis posed to get up a few for the entertainment of myself. When ,however,I look over the hints and memorandums I have takn down for my purpose ,my heart almost failed me at finding how my idle humor has led me aside from the great objects studied by every regulartraveler who would make a book , I fear I shall give equal disppointment with an unlucky landscape painter ,who had travelled on the paradise but following the bent of his vagrant inclination, had sketched in nooks and corners and byplace .the book was accordingly crowed with cottages and landscape and obscure ruins ,but it had negelected to painted in mind.
