An hotel-keeper at Bale translated p 192``limonade gazeuse’’ as ``gauze lemonads”; and the following delightful entry is from the Travellers’ Book of the Drei Mohren Hotel at Augsburg, under date Jan. 28th, 1815:  ``His Grace Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, &c., &c., &c.  Great honour arrived at the beginning of this year to the three Moors.  This illustrious warrior, whose glorious atchievements which cradled in Asia have filled Europe with his renown, descended in it.’’ It may be thought that, as this is not printed, but only written, it is scarcely fair to preserve it here; but it really is too good to leave out.

The keepers of hotels are great sinners in respect to the manner in which they murder the English language.  The following are a few samples of this form of literature, and most readers will recall others that they have come across in their travels.

The first is from Salzburg:—­

``George Nelbo:ck begs leave to recommand his hotel to the Three Allied, situated vis-a!-vis_ of the birth house of Mozart, which offers all comforts to the meanest charges. p 193

The next notice comes from Rastadt:—­

          ``ADVICE OF AN HOTEL.

``The underwritten has the honour of informing the publick that he has made the acquisition of the hotel to the Savage, well situated in the middle of this city.  He shall endeavour to do all duties which gentlemen travellers can justly expect; and invites them to please to convince themselves of it by their kind lodgings at his house.

               ``BASIL
                         ``JA.  SINGESEM.

          ``Before the tenant of the Hotel to
                    the Stork in this city.’’

Whatever may be the ambition of mine host at Pompeii, it can scarcely be the fame of an English scholar:—­

 ``Restorative Hotel Fine Hok,
     Kept by Frank Prosperi,
    Facing the military quarter
               at Pompei.

That hotel open since a very few days is renowned for the cheapness of the Apartp 194ments and linen, for the exactness of the service, and for the excellence of the true French cookery.  Being situated at proximity of that regeneration, it will be propitious to receive families, whatever, which will desire to reside alternatively into that town to visit the monuments now found and to breathe thither the salubrity of the air.  That establishment will avoid to all travellers, visitors of that sepult city and to the artists (willing draw the antiquities) a great disorder occasioned by tardy and expensive contour of the iron whay people will find equally thither a complete sortment of stranger wines and of the kingdom, hot and cold baths, stables, coach houses, the whole at very moderated prices.  Now all the applications and endeavours of the Hoste will tend always to correspond to the tastes and desires of their customers which will require without doubt to him into that town the reputation whome, he is ambitious.’’
