… f'l (f&o. I$&a OLD PRICE'S REMAINS. INTRODUCTORY AND RETROSPECTIVE. Business First. The epithet " fabulous," so great a favourite with writers of a certain class when they wish you to believe any very extraordinary statement of gProfit or Loss, was surely never more strictly employed, than in recounting the rapid triumphs of Queer Street, whose environs are now invested as it were with. a. halo of imperishable re¬ nown, corresponding with the…

… 482 Old Price's Remains. machinery requires some trifling modification to render the operation " painless" as well as "instantaneous." It is true that, on rising from the final stooping posture to your full height, with that comfortable stamp which is the ordinary accompaniment of good health and spirits (Geistundleibenswohlsein), you find yourself in panoply, armed cap a pied. But the internal leverage is so ill adjusted to the external force that, whilst a gentle…

… Introductory. 483 will pardon me for taking leave of them, (with my best thanks and best wishes,) in February, lest I should forget this painful duty by the first of March, when 0. P.'s Remains will, with Cambrian courtesy, shake hands with St. David, and quit the stage, remarking somewhat drily to the latter, that " every dog has his day." I be¬ lieve I am winding up, without having succeeded in acquainting one-half…

… 484 Old Prices Remains. on a kind of clandestine correspondence with 0. D., and make the Public pay for it, without letting them into the secret ?" [or words to that saucy effect] Now, though I have tried to make the said communications as interesting to general readers as I hope many of them find the working of an equation involving one unknown quantity, yet there is some weight in the old rogue's question;…

… Introductory. 485 n ot enough,) I tell him where to find a capital likeness of myself, by Dustin, 122, Grange Lane, Birkenhead; inten¬ ding, G. R., to tell the consignee (Mr. Virtue, 1, Amen Corner) to catch O. D., alive or dead, and to get and give me his name. This I forgot to do, sicut meus est mos. So O. D. carries off O. P. in triumph, but very handsomely sends me his…

Plants thus produced not only live, but return the blow in kind! Is that a striking fact ? Don't say no \ 6—To both, with equal welcome : what was he but a Tadpole at first ? 7 — Thereby hangs a tale. Let A, B, and C represent three plate¬…

… 4gg Old Prices Remains. episode of Pag and the Lady, in the last N°, naturally leads us, by a hop, step, and jump at once from slugs to crabs—from tender Nudibranchs to hard Crustacea. The transition, however violent, will be pardoned on the score of variety; and we will begin with the "party" that led us away from the Mollusca by his impertinence to a fair member of the family—the "said " Pag." His…

… Natural History and Phenomena. 489 sticking to the greased sounding-lead. Little or no fish: " about she goes," to try another tack ; or else wait for a fresh breeze which a dark ripple-mark promised in the distance, if it should reach us. But, though the piscatorial expectations were disappointed, the zoological treasures of the deep were spread in unexpected profusion before those "quis talia curae." The deck, which appeared a blank to the…

… 490 Old Prices Remains. whilst the claws and legs are furnished with an extra amount of crustaceous armour, the tail is as naked as an earthworm or a pickled kewin (periwinkle)! And, as if to give physiological evidence that it is not a mere failure of development—a deficiency of material which might seem a not unnatural result of the excessive supply of the an¬ terior portion, the quasi-molluscous tail terminates in a most curious…

… Natural History and Phenomena. 491 outre casualties, a more ludicrous spectacle cannot well be conceived than one of these hermits in the act of choos¬ ing his residence out of a set of empty shells. The neces¬ sity of borrowing anything at all arising from the possession of a highly vulnerable tail, it may well be supposed that the pre-occupation of the back premises by a hostile party would utterly defeat the scheme.
