only _deadly_ fine, but one of the most perfect deceptions ever seen. When you, or any of the ladies and gentlemen who have honoured this poor performance of mine with their names, or their family or friends, pass this way, I shall be happy to embrace that occasion, to shew, that I have not said more of this inimitable piece of art, than it merits; nor do I speak thus positively from my own judgment, but have the concurrent opinion of many men of unquestionable judgment, that it is a master-piece of art; and among the rest, our worthy and valuable friend Mr. _Sharp_, of the _Old Jewry_. Before we left _Chantilly_, we had a little concert, to which _my train_ added one performer; and as it was the only string instrument, it was no small addition. The day we left this charming place, we found the Prince and all his company under tents and pavilions on the road-side, from whence they were preparing to follow the hounds. At _Amiens_, there is in the _Hotel de Ville_, a little antique god in bronze, which was found, about four years ago, near a Roman urn, in the earth, which is very well worthy of the notice of a _connoisseur_; but it is such as cannot decently be described; the person in whose custody it is, permitted me to take an impression from it in wax; but I am not _quite so good_ a hand at waxwork as the artist mentioned above, and yet my little houshold-god has some merit, a merit too that was not discovered till three months after it had been fixed in the _Hotel de Ville_; and the discovery was made by a female, not a male, _connoisseur_. It is said, that a Hottentot cannot be so civilized, but that he has always a hankering after his savage friends, and _dried chitterlins_; and, that gypsies prefer their roving life, to any other, a circumstance that once did, but now no longer surprizes me; for I feel such a desire to wander again, that I am impatient till the winter is past, when I intend to visit _Geneva_, and make the tour of Italy; and if you can find me cut a sensible valetudinarian or two, of either sex, or any age, who will travel as we do, to see what is to be seen, to make a little stay, where _the place_, or _the people_ invite us to do so, who can dine on a cold partridge, in a hot day, under a shady tree; and travel in a _landau and one_, we will keep them a _table d'hote_, that shall be more pleasant than expensive, and which will produce more health and spirits, than half the drugs of Apothecary's Hall.
