C." was counselling his imaginary daughter in strains copied from Tupper's Proverbial Philosophy, he thus directed her studies into a profitable channel - Read not Milton, for he is dry; nor Shakespeare, for he wrote of common life; Nor Scott, for his romances, though fascinating, are yet intelligible: Read incessantly thy Burke; that Burke who, nobler than be of old, Treateth of the Peer and Peeress, the truly Sublime and Beautiful. Those who act on this advice will know, or at least can have no difficulty in learning, that the charming wife of the Secretary of State for the Colonies is called Margaret Etrenne Hannah, and, if they pursue their research a little further, they will see that she was born on New Year's Day.
