3: The Gentleman who came with me, an English and an Irish
Gentleman, with their Ladies, in their own chaises.

There is an octavo Description of _Chantilly_ just published, with a
map, and twenty _mezzotinto_ views of the gardens.]

The night of the next day we passed at _Flixcourt_, and that of the
Monday at the Post-house, at the foot of the hill on which _Boulogne_ is
situated.

On Tuesday the 21st we arrived at Calais in the morning; the wind was so
violent and unfavorable that we were detained here till the 24th, when
we failed, and had a passage of seven hours to Dover.

There was nothing to remark on the road from Paris to Calais, except
that the harvest was not yet got in, for want of hands, that the corn
was _lodged_, and sowing itself again; that every person and thing was
as quiet as if nothing had happened in Paris, and that no one knew the
particulars of what _had_ happened.

At Calais many person wore trowsers, after the fashion of the
_Sans-culottes_.

EPILOGUE.

SOON after my return to London the two following paragraphs appeared in
the newspapers.

"T. has been over to France, botanizing, and has gotten what he
went to seek."

"I'll tell you, my Lord Fool, From this Nettle danger we pluck the
_Flower_ safety."

This I insert merely on account of the Betise of the quotation. The
Dutch inscription on sticks of sealing-wax would have been as
applicable.

"T. the Tourist was the first to fly from Paris on the prospect of
the tumults of the 10th of August. He is now writing a History of
the Bloody Murders which distinguished that day."

I suspect that the ingenious Genius who wrote this knew he was mistaking
as to the former part of this paragraph. He may say _Trippist_ now.

I should not have seen either of these, had they not been pointed out to
me by some of my "damned good-natured friends." I am in hopes of seeing
a number of very pretty criticisms on the foregoing pages; many passages
were written purposely to catch critics, as honey catches gnats; if
just, they shall be attended to, should there be another edition; and
if they are merely absurd, they shall be collected, and faithfully
presented to the gentle reader. I have told the truth, and have not "set
down aught in malice."

THE END.

*** There are a few trifling typographical errors in the foregoing
sheets, which I shall leave to the correction of the reader, as not one
of them affe
