For the present, I take leave of my readers; hoping that, in my next tour, they will indulgently accompany me to Madrid and the Alhambra.
THE END.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] See a description of the statues of Cœur de Lion, Henry and Elionor, and Isabella of Angoulême, in "A Summer amongst the Bocages and the Vines."
[2] A wretched and pointless satire had appeared under the title of La Cordonnière de Loudun, in which the Cardinal figured: Père Joseph insinuated that Grandier was the author, and the supposed insult was readily credited.
[3] A very excellent picture on this subject, by Jouy, is in the Musée at Bordeaux: I did not see it, but it has been described to me by a person on whose judgment I can depend, who considers it of very high merit, and worthy of great commendation.
[4] Calcaire hépathique. The stone used for the casing of the exterior of the Great Pyramid, and for the lining of the chambers and passages, was obtained from the Gebel Mokattam, on the Arabian side of the valley of the Nile. It appears to be similar to that named above, as it is described as being "a compact limestone," called by geologists "swine stone," or "stink-stone," from emitting, when struck, a fetid odour.
[5] The same legend is told as having happened in England on the domains of the family of Titchborne.
