A RUN TO HOLLAND. 481 11 was going pleasantly to remark about inns; how I admireand wonder at the information in Murrays Handbooks—wonder how it is got, and admire the travellers who get it! For. instance, you read : iVmiens (please select your town), 60,000inhabitants. Hotels, &c.—Lion dOr, good and cheap. Le LiondArgent, so so. Le LionNoir, bad, dirty, and say there are three tra-vellers—three inn-inspectors,who are sent forth by on a great commission,and who stop at every inn inthe world. The eldest goes tothe Lion dOr—capital house,good table dhote, excellentwine, moderate charges. Thesecond commissioner tries theSilver Lion—tolerable house,bed, dinner, bill, and so fancy commissioner No. _3—the poor fag, doubtless,and boots of the party. He has to go to the Lion Noir.
