Our Booksellers'windows are alreadycrowded with Wanderings, Trips, Tours,Visits, Sketches, and Guides, and be-hold here is another, without preten-sions, name, or preface intruded uponthe public, whose intellects are insultedby such an accumulation of trash.Who is the author ?

All very true, Sir ; but a preface isan awkward thing to write in thesedays, when every kind of apology hasbeen long since exhausted by our scrib-blers and over-ruled by our Reviewers;besides, the Author of the followingpages is now again upon the road toItaly , and not in the way to write one.

<c Short is the course his restlessness has run,

<£ Yet long enough to leave him half undone;

“ His early dreams of good outstripp’d the truth,w And troubled manhood follows baffled youth.”

Lara.
