ABSTRACT

Soon as Aurora had unbarred her golden gates, and the sun poured his welcome beams on Berkeley Hall, Dr. Homily leaped from his couch with all the alertness of youth, and paid a most fervent tribute of gratitude to heaven for its mercies. He locked up his manuscript abridgment of Hooker, and all his scattered papers and fragments, carefully in his bureau, and placed the loose books on / their shelves in order. A velvet suit, which was in excellent preparation, was laid out to air. Some of the fairest pipes were selected for the chiefs to smoke; and all the economy of the day sketched and arranged.
