    175 SALA (GEORGE AUGUSTUS, 1828-1896). Journalist and Novelist. DVO AITTOGRAPH OLE TTR RS SIGNED Oe tak CES: (CG: LELAND. 2 pp., 8vo. Dated from London and Brighton, 1874 and 1876. £3 3s Two interesting letters, one of which was written just before his departure for St. Petersburg where he was sent as special correspon- dent for the ‘‘ Daily Telegraph ’? when war between Russia and Turkey was imminent. ‘This comes hopping (as the Kangaroo remarked) that you have not yet left Brighton. Selfishness on my part inspires the hope. You were kind enough to promise me a letter for St. Petersburg. I start, God willing, on Thursday for a new journey due North and East—Bysantium via Petropolis. I shall not have, 1 fear, time to bid you good-bye. I shall be in the agonies of packing up and fur coat buying until the ultima hora. Will you post the letter to me addressed to the Daily Telegraph Office as that will be the last spot of British earth I shall roost upon. Will you explain to your correspondent that I am not an enemy to the Constitution of the United States: that my Presidential Isle—if I had one— would be for Delmonico (corner of 5th Avenue and FH. of 14th Street N.Y.) that I have been vaccinated, that I have joined a church (Grace Walking Brethren ; Col. Quagg’s connection), and that I have never been in Sing-Sing, but hope to be. . 176 SALISBURY (ROBERT CECIL, rst EARL OF, 1563-1612). Statesman under Queen Elizabeth and James I.
