"Another and Another still Succeeds."
Byron has informed us that "Mont Blanc is the monarch of mountains," but how are we to describe Albert Smith, who seems determined to make himself the "Monarch of Mont Blanc?" It is true that he could scarcely fix upon a higher point for the summit of his ambition. If he has chosen that particular walk in life, though it is laborious and slippery, we see no reason why he should not repeat his "terrific ascent" as often as he feels disposed. If he should continue to go "up, up, up" for another year, we shall begin to look upon the ascent of Mont Blanc as Albert "Smith's work in general."
