 AFTER A ROUGH PASSAGE, BROWN, JOKES, AND ROBINSON ARE HERE SEEN LANDED AT OSTEND, SURROUNDED, AND A LITTLE

 COMPANY ON BOARD THE RHINE BOAT. 
 
 AMONGST THEM WAS A TRAVELLING TUTOK, AND THREE YOUNG GENTLEMEN, HIS PUPILS. HE STOOD IN THE MIDST OP THEM SMILING 
 BLANDLY, AN OPEN VOLUME IN HIS HAND, (PROBABLY A CLASSIC AUTHOR,) BETWEEN WHICH, AND HIS PUPILS, AND THE SCENERY, HE DIVIDED 
 HIS ATTENTION IN ABOUT EQUAL PARTS. THERE WAS A SPECIMEN OF THE ENGLISH GRUMBLER, BIG, BURLY, AND AS IF IN DANGER OF CHOKING 
 FROM THE TIGHTNESS OF HIS CRAVAT. EVERY ONE KNOWS HIM, HIS PLEASANT WAYS, AND HIS CONSTANT FLOW OF GOOD HUMOUR AND 
 CHEERFULNESS ; THAT IS HE, SITTING TO THE RIGHT. THERE WERE BESIDES, NUMEROUS YOUNG GENTLEMEN FROM THE UNIVERSITIES, FROM THE 
 ARMY, FROM THE BAR, ALL WITH MORE OR LESS HAIR ON THEIR UPPER LIPS; AND THERE WAS A CAVALRY OFFICER OF THE RUSSIAN GUARD, 
 AND A PROFESSOR, ON HIS WAY TO HEIDELBERG, AND LOOSE, DISHEVELLED, HAIRY, SMOKY YOUNG GERMANS, WITH LONG BEARDS, AND LONGER 
 PIPES. AND THERE WAS A BRITISH NOBLEMAN, AND A BRITISH ALDERMAN, AND A BRITISH ALDERWOMAN ; AND THERE WERE BRITISH LADIES 
 WHOM I CAN'T DESCRIBE, BECAUSE THEY WORE THOSE " UGLY " THINGS WHICH PREVENT THEM BEING SEEN; INTELLIGENT YOUNG AMERICANS ON" 
 THEIR WAY ALL OVER THE WORLD; NUNS, WITH THEIR QUIET, HAPPY FACES ; RED REPUBLICANS FROM FRANKFORT, AND SNOBS FROM LONDON. 
 
 THE GREAT BRITON. 
 
 AS HE STOOD CONTEMPLATING THE RHINE-LAND, WONDERING IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO LIVE IN THAT COUNTRY ; AND 
 CONSIDERING, (SUPPOSING HE HAD ONE OF THOSE CASTLES, NOW) HOW MANY THOUSANDS A YEAR ONE COULD DO IT WITH. THE 
 SCENERY WOULD DO, AND WITH ENGLISH INSTITUTIONS IT MIGHT BE MADE A GOOD THING OF. 
 
 N.B. — HE LITTLE THINKS WHAT BROWN IS DOING.

 EVEN THE NUN WAS NOT SAFE FROM BROWN. HE IS HERE SEEN TAKING HER OFF, IN A RAPID ACT OF SKETCHING. 
 
 B. .1. AND R. HAD JUST BEGUN TO ENJOY THE SCENERY, WHEN, TO THEIR CONSTERNATION, WHO SHOULD APPEAR ON BOARD BUT THE 
 "BORE," WHO INSTANTLY WAS DOWN UPON THEM. FOP. THREE MORTAL HOURS HE ENTERTAINED THEM WITH FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE, 
 ANECDOTES OF THE ARISTOCRACY, THE COD RT CIRCULAR, BIRTHS, DEATHS, MARRIAGES, &C.

 THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN' M.P. TRAVELLING' IN SEARCH OF "FACTS." HE IS GIVING BROWN HIS VIEWS

 THEY BOTH WORE A PERPETUAL GRIN AND STARE OF SCRPK1SE. 
 JONES THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD TAKEN LEAVE OF ENGLAND AND 
 THEIR SENSES AT ONCE, OWING TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF PROTECTION. 
 
 THE RHINE BOAT. 
 
 BROWN MAY BE SEEN SEATED THERE UPON THE PADDLE-BOX, RAPIDLY SKETCHING EVERY CHURCH, RUINED CASTLE, TOWN, OR OTHER OBJECT 
 OP INTEREST ON EITHER BANK OF THE RIVER. THOSE ARE JONES AND ROBINSON, LEANING OVER THE SIDE OF THE BOAT BELOW HIM. OBSERVE, 
 ALSO, THE STOUT PARTY WHO HAS CALLED FOR BRANDY- AND- WATER, AND WHOSE COUNTENANCE ALMOST LAPSES INTO A SMILE AS " KELLNER " 
 APPROACHES WITH THE BEVERAGE. THE TUTOR, IT IS PLEASANT TO SEE, HAS AT LAST PUT HIS "CLASSIC" IN HIS POCKET, AND GIVES HIMSELF 
 UP TO THE UNDIVIDED ENJOYMENT OF THE SCENE, WHILE HIS "YOUNG CHARGE" IS WRAPT IN CONTEMPLATION OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AS 
 EXEMPLIFIED IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE WHEEL. AND THAT MUST SURELY BE THE GENT WHO HAS SUCH A LOW OPINION OF THE BEAUTY OF 
 THE RHINE-LAND, SEATED AT THE STERN OF THE BOAT WITH HIS LEGS DANGLING OVER THE RIVER. LET US HOPE THAT HE IS HAPPY NOW!

 ROBINSON WAS VERY MERRY ABOUT THIS INCIDENT, AND 
 BOTH HE AND JONES KEPT POKING FUN AT BROWN 10' KING

 SONG OF "MY HEART'S ON THE RHINE," SUBSTITUTING " MY 
 HAT'S IN THE RHINE;" — (IT WAS VERY POOR STUFF, WE 
 HAVE BEEN ASSURED BY BROWN) — AND THEY MADE POINTED 
 ALLUSIONS TO THE NAME OF " WIDE-AWAKE."

 TWO NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS GOING UP THE RHINE WITH THE REST OF THE FASHIONABLE WORLD. AT FIRST IT OBSCURED THE HILL TOPS, 
 WITH THE RUINS THEREON ; THEN THE VILLAGES AND VINEYARDS BELOW; AND FINALLY BOTH BANKS OF THE RIVER ENTIRELY DISAPPEARED. 
 THE COMPANY ON BOARD THE STEAMBOAT DID NOT, AT THIS PERIOD, PRESENT THE MOST CHEERFUL ASPECT.

 ROBINSON HERE WROTE HIS CELEBRATED LETTER TO

 SOAP ASH WATER, FROM WHICH, AS WE HAVE SEEN IN 
 A FORMER PAGE, HE SUFFERED SO GRIEVOUSLY. IT WAS 
 CONCEIVED IN TER31S OF INDIGNANT ELOQUENCE ; AND 
 DREW A TERRIBLE PICTURE OF THE STATE OF SOCIAL, 
 POLITICAL, AND RELIGIOUS DEGRADATION" INTO WHICH A 
 COUNTRY MUST HAVE SUNK, WHERE SUCH THINGS COULD 
 BE TOLERATED. 
 
 AS THEY WALKED THROUGH THE TOWN, BENT UPON SEEING THE 
 ARIADNE, AND UNCONSCIOUS OF DANGER, SUDDENLY AN OBJECT 
 APPEARED IN SIGHT THAT FILLED THEM WITH TERROR. IT WAS 
 THE "BORE!" STEPPING JAUNTILY ALONG ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 
 THE STREET. TO HESITATE WAS TO BE LOST I SO THEY PLUNGED 
 
 INTO THE NEAREST SHOP FOR PROTECTION, AND STOOD THERE 
 BREATHLESS WITH EXPECTATION AND FEAR. PRESENTLY JONES — 
 PUTTING HIS HEAD VERY GRADUALLY OUT — RECONNOITRED, AND 
 FINDING ALL SAFE THEY RESUMED THEIR WAY.

 THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVED WITH DISTINGUISHED CONSIDERATION, THE " LOCAL " PAPER HAVING ANNOUNCED THEIR ARRIVAL AS COUNT 
 EOBINSON, SIR BROWN, AND THE REV. JONES. THEY HAVE BEEN INVITED TO BE PRESENT AT A GRAND REVIEW, AND ROBINSON — WHO 
 AMONGST OTHER NECESSARIES IN THOSE PORTMANTEAUS OF HIS, CARRIED A UNIFORM AS CAPTAIN OF YEOMANRY — THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS 
 JUST THE PROPER OCCASION TO APPEAR IN IT. ACCORDINGLY, HE RODE ON TO THE GROUND UPON A CHARGER (HIRED), IN THE CHARACTER 
 OF A WARRIOR, WITH A SOLEMNITY OF COUNTENANCE BEFITTING THE SCENE AND HIS COUNTRY", AND ACCOMPANIED BY JONES (ALSO MOUNTED), 
 BUT IN THE COSTUME OF AN ORDINARY INDIVIDUAL OF THE PERIOD. BROWN PREFERRED GOING ON FOOT. THAT IS ROBINSON IN THE 
 CENTRE. JUST AT THE TIME WHEN HE OUGHT TO BE RIDING UP THE LINE, INSPECTING THE TROOPS WITH TnE GRAND DUKE AND HIS 
 STAFF— HIS HORSE (A "DISGUSTING BRUTE," AS ROBINSON AFTERWARDS DESCRIBED HIM, "WHO COULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE HABIT OP 
 CARRYING GENTLEMEN") SUDDENLY STOOD ON HIS HIND LEGS, IN THE VERY MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, SO THAT HIS RIDER WAS FORCED TO 
 CLING ON TO HIM IN AN ABSURD MANNER, IN FULL VIEW OF THE ARMY, THE PEOPLE, AND THE COURT.

 IT WAS THEIK FIRST DAY IN ITALY, AND HOW THEY DID ENJOY IT! THE REPAST WAS SERVED IN A STONE SUMMER-HOUSE 
 ATTACHED TO THE HOTEL. THE SUN WAS SO BRIGHT, AND SO HOT; THE SKY WAS SO BLUE, THE VEGETATION SO UREEN, THE 
 MOUNTAINS so PURPLE, THE (.{RAPES SO LARGE, AND EVERYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL, THAT BROWN ANH JONES BOTH DECIDED THAT 
 THE SCENE FELLY REALISED ALL THEIR IMAGININGS OF ITALY. ROBINSON WAS ENTHUSIASTIC, TOO, AT FIRST, AND WAS 
 
 BEGINNING TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT "ITALIA, ITALIA," WHEN HIS EYE LIT UPON A GREEN LIZARD RUNNING UP THE WALL. 
 FROM THAT MOMENT HE WAS MORE SUBDUED.

 WRONGS OF SELF AND FRIENDS, BY TAKING A FULL LENGTH, ON THE SPOT, OF THAT IMPOSING ADMINISTRATOR, WHO STANDS 
 OVER THERE, WITH THE PASSPORTS IN HIS HAND.

 oh! marie or TirE laco d'orta, maid of the inn, and 
 
 MOST BEAUTIFUL OP WAITRESSES, HOW WELL DO I REMEMBER 
 THEE! HOW GRACEFUL WERE ALL THY MOVEMENTS; WHAT 
 NATURAL EASE, TOGETHER WITH WHAT A DIGNIFIED RESERVE ; 
 — HOW TRULY A LADY WERT THOU ! YOU DID NOT KNOW IT, 
 BUT WHEN YOU WAITED UPON US, I ALWAYS FELT INCLINED 
 TO JUMP UP FROM MY CHAIR, AND OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU 
 — TO TAKE THE DISHES FROM YOUR HANDS, — TO ASK YOU 
 RESPECTFULLY TO BE SEATED, — TO WAIT UPON YOU IN FACT. 
 AND ! HOW I DID DETEST THAT WICKED OLD LANDLADY, 
 YOUR MISTRESS, WHO USED TO BULLY AND SCOLD YOU. AND I 
 WONDER WHETHER YOU REMEMBER ME. — From a MS., VCnj 
 
 rare, in possession of Brown. 
 
 THIS PICTURE REPRESENTS BROWN AS HE APPEARED, [IIS 
 FEELINGS BEING "TOO MANY FOR HIM," ON HEARING THAT 
 ELDERLY SHE-DRAGON, THE LANDLADY, VENTING HER II. I, - 
 HUMOUR UPON THE GENTLE MARIE. HE STOLE OUT OF 'THE 
 DINING-ROOM, LOOKED OVER INTO THE YARD, AND THERE 
 BEHELD THE FURIOUS OLD FEMALE SHAKING HER FIST, AND 
 POURING FORTH A TORRENT OF ABUSE. BROWN WAS NOT NA- 
 TURALLY" OF A SAVAGE TEMPERAMENT, BUT AT THAT MOMENT 
 HE FELT THAT HE COULD HAVE — BUT IT IS BEST NOT TO SAY 
 WHAT HE COULD HAVE DONE — IT WAS TOO TERRIBLE FOR 
 PUBLICATION IN THESE PAGES.

 CAFE MILAN,— SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL OF DISTINGUISHED FOREIGNERS. 
 
 THE MOMENT WE SEATED OURSELVES IN A CAFE, AN AWFUL GROUP OF BEGGARS STOOD BEFORE US — SO SUDDENLY THAT THEY APPEARED 
 TO HAVE COME UP THROUGH A TRAP-DOOR — AND DEMANDED ALMS. ' THEY WOULD NOT CO WITHOUT MONEY, AND WHEN THEY G'.T IT TIIE\ 
 TOOK IT AS A EIGHT. IT WOULD NOT DO FOR ONE OF US TO "SETTLE" WITH THEM FOR THE WHOLE PARTY, FOR NO SOONER HAD I GIVEN 
 THEM A COIN THAN THEY TURNED TO JONES, AND WHEN DONE WITH HIM, COOLLY SET UPON ROBINSON. THE INSTANT ONE TRIBE DEPARTED, 
 A FRESH RELAIS ARRIVED, SO THAT THERE WAS A CONSTANT SUPPLY (OF BEGGARS) AND DEMAND (ON OUR PURSES). 
 
 NO PLACE SEEMED SAFE : IN THE MOST MAGNIFICENT AND LUXURIOUSLY-DECORATED CAFES THEY HAD PERFECT RIGnT OF WAY, THE CONTRAST 
 BETWEEN THE RICH GILDING, GLASS, FOUNTAINS, ETC., OF THE ONE, AND THE RAGS, DIRT, AND DRAMATICALLY COT-UP HORRORS OF THE OTHER 
 BEING PICTURESQUE, RUT CERTAINLY NOT PLEASANT ; AND YET, AS JONES REMARKED, THEY SAY THIS COUNTRY HAS NOT FREE INSTITUTIONS.

 robinson's determination to let his beard grow " naturally " had an absurd result, the hair growing in violent and 
 abrupt crops in some places, and not at all in others; so that jones, who was sensitive about appearances (and whose 
 own moustache was doing beautifully' i, insisted at last upon e.'s being shaved, which event accordingly took place in the 
 cut of milan. it was well that robinson consented, for the barber eyed him eagerly, and as if he would spring upon 
 him and shave him by' force.

 STATE OF EXCITEMENT, FIZZING, LIKE THE PERPETUAL GOING OFF OF SODA-WATER. THE THEATRE WAS LIGHTED (V) BY ABOUT FOUR OIL 
 LAMPS; AND SUCH WAS THE DARKNESS, THAT OUR TRAVELLERS — WHO MAY BE SEEN, PERHArS, THROUGH THE "DIM OBSCURE," UP IN A

 THE distinctive features which have 
 secured for these a wide acceptance are 
 
 HANDINESS, LIGHTNESS, and ARTISTIC FINISH. 
 
 The volumes are printed with great care, in a beautiful 
 
 type, on a fine paper, and their harmonious completeness 
 
 commends them to persons even of the most refined taste. 
 
 Everyone should see them. 
 
 THE HANDY-VOLUME 
 
 Waver ley. 
 
 25 Elegant little Volumes, each containing a complete Novel. 
 
 EVERYONE should see this Handy- Volume Edition of the Waverley 
 Novels, and note how different it is from all the others which have 
 been issued hitherto. The volumes are only half the size of the smallest 
 of previous editions, and they are so light that two or three of them can at 
 the same time be easily carried about in the pocket. 
 
 Although the volumes are so small, their smallness has not been attained 
 at the sacrifice of their legibility. The type is a new type, giving a sharp, 
 clear and distinct impression, and in size it closely resembles that used in trie 
 HANDY- Volume Shakspeare. The paper is of a special manufacture, pure m 
 colour, and very fine in texture, being nearly opaque, and possessing a nighty 
 burnished surface. , ., 
 
 No bookcase will be too small to hold the set of 25 little volumes whilst 
 their lightness, handiness, and elegance will make them an attractive 
 addition to the reading tables of any and every household.

 SHaEspIarel 
 
 rjlHIS choice Miniature Edition of "Shakspeare" is in 13 Volumes, 
 32mo size, and contains the whole of the Plays, the Poems, and a 
 Glossary. The volumes are printed on a slightly toned paper of fine 
 quality, with a new, clear, and elegant type, on a page free from Notes 
 -and the Text has been arranged from a close comparison of the most 
 trustworthy editions. Nothing could be prettier than this diamond 
 edition. The paper is toned, the- type is exquisitely beautiful, the text 
 is Shakspeare, pur et simple. It is, besides all these, a very marvel of 
 cheapness, as the result of a happy thought most charmingly realised.

THE HANDY-VOLUME 
 
 Holy Bible. 
 
 THE distinguishing merit possessed by the Handy-Volume Bible over 
 every other edition which has been printed rests in this -that the reader 
 can take up just that particular portion of Scripture which he desires to read, 
 and make it his pocket companion. 
 
 It would be a question very difficult to answer, how an important work 
 such as the Holy Scriptures has not hitherto been provided in any other than 
 the most rigid form of production. A heavy and bulky book to secure a 
 legible type, or a type painfully small to secure a volume of convenient size, 
 were, until now, the only alternatives for Bible readers. 
 
 In the Handy-Volume Edition legibility and portability are both 
 attained. A print so clear as to be easily read in a fading light, and a 
 volume so small that its weight can scarcely be felt, are attractions which 
 have never yet been combined in any edition of the Scriptures.

THE HANDY-VOLUME 
 
 Scott Poetry. 
 
 IN adding Sik Walter Scott's Poetical Works to their series of Handy- 
 Volume Editions, the Publishers have striven to produce them in such 
 a form as would, in their opinion, he the most welcomed. The type, which is 
 of a new old-faced fount, is as large, and the lines nearly as open, as in the 
 esteemed octavo edition ; whilst the volumes are not much more than a fourth 
 of the size. The Poems are a complete collection, including those from the 
 novels, as well as the Ballads and other pieces from the " Minstrelsy of the 
 Scottish Border." The Notes are added from the Author's Edition of 1830, 
 revised by himself, omitting some of the lengthy extracts from historical works 
 and ancient manuscripts. 
 
 To perfect the completeness of the Edition a short descriptive Memoir is 
 prefixed to the volume containing the " Lay op the Last Minstrel," 
 recording in outline the leading incidents in the life of the Minstrel Poet.

 nriHE existence of Venice as an independent State belongs entirely to 
 the past, and nothing now remains, save the City itself, to show 
 that she was once a Power. Her situation as a city built upon the sea 
 was alike the source of her greatness and the cause of her decay. 
 
 For nearly a thousand years she was the receptacle and storehouse of 
 the spoils of Empires, whose choicest treasures contributed to the Wealth 
 of her People,— the Power of her Rulers,— and the Adornment of her 
 Palaces. The History of Venice is written upon her walls. To the 
 Traveller she is a dream of past ages — to the Poet, an inspiration — to 
 the Artist, a study. 
 
 The picturesque situation of Venice— Its imposing structures, lavish 
 in colour and decoration, — Its silent water-ways, — Its multitudinous 
 bridges, — Its island surroundings, form a succession of Pictures, which 
 are delightful in their ever-varying beauty, and are a constant charm 
 to the Artist.

 "A fine specimen of the printer's craft." — The Times. 
 
 "It is a splendid imperial folio volume, a marvel of clear typography, thick paper, 
 and tasteful illumination. Mr. Sambourne has sketched the Queen of the Adriatic from 
 her every assailable point, by moonlight as well as by day ; and there is not one of his 
 thirty drawings which is not marked by keen appreciation of her poetical aspect, and deft 
 and vigorous rendering of her beauties."" — The World.

 PUNCH. 
 
 " ' T)UNCH ' is a historian of the time in which he lives. Future genera- 
 JT tions may look to these volumes and tell to a nicety what the men 
 and women of the present day are like, can recover the evanescent fashions, 
 can learn the fashionable foibles, can tell how the great men of their time 
 appeared to their humorous contemporaries, can hit to a certainty the leading 
 characteristics as well of things as of men ; for the success of the ' Punch ' 
 
 pictures and paragraphs is half 
 stance that there is always an 
 small, of truth in the most out- 
 peculiar faculty of caricature, 
 with pencil, has always dis- 
 as these volumes testify. Of 
 well ; that was 
 if people gene- 
 vast treasure of 
 who place them 
 storing away for 
 them with even 
 that 'Punch' 
 with the passing 
 course, some, 
 and allusions 
 need fail to 
 recondite of 
 every volume of 
 go through the 
 
 due to the circum- 
 
 element, large or 
 
 rageous of them. This 
 
 with pen as well as 
 
 tinguished ' Punch,' 
 
 course they have sold 
 
 to be expected. But 
 
 rally knew what a 
 
 wit and humour those 
 
 in their libraries are 
 
 future days, they would buy 
 
 more avidity. - It cannot be said 
 
 has lost very much of its interest 
 
 time ; for though there are, of 
 
 there are very few of his jokes 
 
 which an ordinary well-read man 
 
 understand ; and to the more 
 
 them the explanation given with 
 
 the re-issue supplies the key. To 
 
 volumes categorically would be 
 
 equal to a review of the political, social, fashionable, and literary history of the 
 time through which ' Punch ' has lived. For such a task we have neither 
 space nor inclination. Every reader must make his review for himself, and 
 in going through these volumes he will find that they are pregnant with 
 matter which cannot fail to suggest to the thoughtful much that is worth 
 remembering, and that is going nigh to be forgotten, of the events of the 
 last twenty years. The price at which the re-issue is made is low enough 
 to enable any moderately well-to-do reader to place them on a handy shelf in 
 his collection of books." — Standard.
