of a spur would save him from a second. To my inraptured
eyes the brow of Constitution Hill was thus transformed, all
at once, into a Mount Pisgale. With the eye of flesh and
blood nearly, and with the mind's eye compleatly, I then
grasped,& for the first time, the beatific vision of a happily
situated and easily accessible and compleatable though in
the first instance uncompleated spot, with a phantasmagoric
