    XL WHICH IS UNEXPECTEDLY CONCLUSIVE. 95 Dear reader—To our utter astonishment—for, like a pleasant journey, we have been unconscious of our rapid progress—the Editor has reminded us that the last number of the volume has arrived ; an unlooked-for circumstance, —which compels us to finish our subject, like a traveller's dressing-case, in the smallest possible compass ! Had we space left, we could have set forth the whole par- ticulars of the Windsor expedition. We could have told how Messrs. Manhug, Rapp, NeWcome, and Jones joined their companions at the top of the Long Walk, and how they hired a little boy to carry a good can of ale after them, to promote their festivity. We could have shown how Mr. Rapp scaled the pedestal of the statue, and proceeded to scratch his name on the horse's foot, in which situation he was discovered by a park-keeper; together with the pleasant dialogue that passed between them, including how Mr. Rapp3 called the park-keeper '/ an overgrown grasshopper in green plush breeches; which so incensed him that he woSld have proceeded to extremities, had not Mr Manhug drawn off his attention by chevying a large herd o.deer■all about the pasture, drumming in his hat with his fist while he ran How, also, to make up for lost time, Mr. Jones assisted Mr. Newcome to collect some rare weeds, until his candle-box was quite full, and wrote most extraordinary names on the slips of paper attached to them; such as ^MgZithropogenesiaSrandifolia- the « Batrachomy- omacfua Longwalkensis andthe GossamerBreadstreett- ana- all of which Mr. Newcome treasured up in his mind, and copied out fairly when he got home the next^ day Neither should we have omitted to tell how Di.
