This visit was one of high intellectual gratification, and carried me into scenes and situations for which the reading of books had but poorly prepared me.  I kept a journal to refresh my memory of things seen and heard, approved and disapproved.

     The Western World, they tell me, turns too fast,
     By European optics scanned and glassed;
     But when we look at Europe, although fair,
     They must have had new Joshuas working there;
     For, be our eagerness just what it will,
     She, spell-bound, seems to stand profoundly still.

THE END.
