Abstract

England
February 25, 1869 issue

add to cart   close window

As the Parliament of England does not meet for the next ten days, the ordinary period of Christmas dullness is protracted for a fortnight beyond the usual time. The papers fill their columns by various expedients, such as dissertations on spots on the sun and long accounts of Episcopal installations. In England, one has not yet had even a glimpse of a frost. If American travelers would occasionally do the favor to stay with everyone in England for a little longer on their way to the Continent, they would discover that amongst the various blessings of a constitutional monarchy not the least is a happy freedom from the extremes of weather as of politics.
