TRAVELLING GENTLEMEN

A SATIRE,

BY NIL ADMIRARI, ESQ.

"How we English folks do cling to our own habits, our own views, our own
things, our own people; how, in spite of all our wanderings over the face of the
earth, like so many Jews, we never lose our distinct and national individuality;
nor fail to lay hold of one another's skirts to laugh at and depreciate all that
differs from that country which we delight in forsaking for any and all others."
-JOURNAL, by Mrs. Butler.

[Entered according to the Act of Congress of the United States of
America, in the year 1837, by C. SHEPARD, in the Clerk's Office
of the Southern District of New-York.]

DEDICATION

TO

MRS. TROLLOPE.

MADAM,

Permit me to lay my humble offering at your feet. So shall I boast one effort rescued from the tomb. That which is trivial is soon swept down the tide of time and eternally forgotten, but whatever is connected with your name will flourish, though not equally, for ever. I fear that I am presumptuous, yet your gentle spirit will pardon my presuming; for an overweening vanity whispers in my ear that the humblest flower may sometimes be permitted to mingle its blushes with the

rose.
