"P.S. Since writing the above, you will be concerned to hear the body of poor Diggory has been found, horribly mangled by wild beasts. The fate of Chippendale, Gregory, and Mudge is no longer doubtful. The old lion has brought the lioness, and, the sheep being all gone, they have made a joint attack upon the bullock-house. The Mudiboo has overflowed, and Squampash Flatts are a swamp. I have just discovered that the monkeys are my own rascals, that I brought out from England. We are coming back as fast as we can." EMIGRATION: [Illustration: _Meeting a Settler._] _Meeting a Settler._ THE CUTS. _A clear stage, and no favour:_ a coach and horses on their sides, with all the passengers' heels uppermost, in a horse-pond.--_The air adapted to a Violin:_ a fellow flying a kite-fiddle in a field.--_"Those Evening Bells:"_ a postman and muffin-man.--_Shrimp Sauce to a Lobster:_ a little urchin putting out his tongue at a Foot Guard.--_"Toe-ho:"_ a sportsman caught in a spring-trap.--_Boarded, Lodged, and Done for:_ a wight in the pillory, and a shower of brick-bats, dead cats, &c.--_"A Constable's Miscellany:"_ a crowd of offenders, preceded by the man in office, staff-in-hand.--_Unlicensed Victuallers:_ a couple of greyhounds seizing a dinner. _"She walks in beauty, like the night:"_ a black girl, shaded by a broad leaf.--_Boxer and Pincher:_ a pair of dogs taking snuff together.--_A Round Robin:_ a red-breast in the shape of a ball.-- _Hook and Eye:_ a parrot on a perch.--_A Leading Article:_ a jockey a-head in a race.--_A Sweepstakes--"Every jockey has a jenny:"_ sweeps on donkeys.--_Soap-orifics and Sud-orifics:_ two busy washerwomen.--_A Court Day:_ a crowd sheltered from the rain, beneath "Poppin's Court." These are but a few of the eighty-seven drolleries of the cuts and plates, which have more fun and humour than all the pantomime tricks and changes of our time; they are worth all the fine conceits of all the great painters of any age, and the pun and patter which accompany them are excellent.

This little work is "decidedly of a religious character," and, to quote the preface, "its contents are in unison with the sanctity of its title." The editor is the Rev. W.
